Spacer bending

Excellent bending quality and high dimensional accuracy for all common profile types


Here are three reasons why Glaston’s spacer bending plants are your best choice

1.

Excellent bending quality thanks to special bending technology

2.

High measurement accuracy due to precision-guided profile conveyor

3.

Ideal for operations with a separate subsequent filling station
