Angle Iron Bending Machine JT-50
Angle iron bending machine for structural fabrication, bending equal and unequal angle steel for frames and supports.
Technical Specifications
What is a Angle Iron Bending Machine JT-50?
A flange forming machine is sheet metal equipment that produces TDF (Transverse Duct Flange) or TDC (Transverse Duct Connector) flanges on the edges of rectangular duct panels. These flanges allow duct sections to be bolted together with gaskets for air-tight connections. Flange formers are typically used in conjunction with auto duct lines or as standalone machines for custom ductwork fabrication.
Key Features
- Bends equal and unequal angle iron
- Adjustable bending radius
- Electric drive for consistency
- Heavy-duty steel frame
- Versatile structural fabrication

How Much Does a Angle Iron Bending Machine JT-50 Cost?
Flange forming machines range from $3,000 to $15,000 USD. Single-head TDF formers cost $3,000-$5,000. Dual-head duplex machines (TDF + cleat) range from $6,000-$10,000. Heavy-duty models with 1.5mm capacity cost $10,000-$15,000. Corner making machines (for TDF/TDC corners) are separate, ranging from $1,500-$4,000.
Angle Iron Bending Machine JT-50 — Key Specifications at a Glance
Best value machine we've purchased. The price was competitive, but the quality and support are what you'd expect from a premium brand. Our operators love the intuitive controls, and maintenance is straightforward. Highly recommended for any HVAC shop.
The build quality of this machine exceeded our expectations. Heavy-duty construction, smooth operation, and consistent results day after day. We compared several brands before choosing Preda, and the difference in finish and precision is obvious.
Still Losing Money to Inaccurate Bends and Wasted Material?
Every HVAC duct shop faces the same bottleneck: manual bending with inconsistent angles. When your team spends hours on slow setup between bend jobs, your production capacity drops, labor costs rise, and deadlines slip. The Angle Iron Bending Machine JT-50 is engineered to eliminate these inefficiencies — automating angle iron bending machine while delivering consistent, factory-grade quality.
In this guide, we break down exactly how this machine transforms your JT-50 angle roller workflow, what specifications matter for your operation, and how to calculate your return on investment. Whether you run a 3-person job shop or a 50-employee production facility, understanding these details directly impacts your bottom line.
How It Transforms Your Production Line
The Angle Iron Bending Machine JT-50 operates on a proven principle: angle iron bending machine should be a continuous, automated process — not a series of manual interventions. Here is the step-by-step workflow that makes this possible:
Material Positioning
The sheet is positioned against the back gauge, which controls the bend line location with precision accuracy.
Clamping
The clamping beam secures the sheet firmly, preventing any movement during the bending cycle.
Precision Bending
The bending beam or ram applies controlled force to bend the metal to the programmed angle — CNC models achieve ±0.2° accuracy.
Release & Reposition
The clamp releases, the sheet is repositioned for the next bend, and the cycle repeats — multi-bend parts are completed in seconds.

Problems Solved: Before vs. After
We asked 50+ HVAC fabricators about their biggest production headaches. Here is how this machine directly addresses each one:
| Without This Machine | With This Machine |
|---|---|
|
✕ Inconsistent bend angles
Parts don't fit together, rework rate 10-15% |
✓ CNC angle control ±0.2° repeatability
Every bend identical, zero rework |
|
✕ Slow manual bending
Hand brakes take 2-3 minutes per bend |
✓ Powered/CNC bending, 5-10 seconds per bend
10-20x faster throughput |
|
✕ Limited bend complexity
Can only do simple 90° bends by hand |
✓ Multi-axis CNC with programmable bend sequences
Complex boxes, pans, and profiles in one setup |
|
✕ Operator fatigue and injury
Heavy manual lifting causes strains and injuries |
✓ Powered clamping and bending
Reduced physical strain, safer workplace |
