Engineering

Built into Every VERTEX

Core technologies shared across the VERTEX platform.

🔩

SAE 1050 Steel Rolls

All VERTEX models use SAE 1050 certificated steel rolls — forged, induction-hardened, or certificated depending on tier. High tensile strength for consistent surface quality.

🎯

Conical Bending

Conical bending device standard on every model. The 3HX adds joystick positioning for rapid cone setup. Produce cones, transitions, and tapered sections on any VERTEX.

⚙️

Brake Motor Precision

Precision bending with brake motor across all tiers. Accurate stopping positions ensure repeatable bend angles without operator guesswork.

📱

Mobile Control Panel

Every VERTEX includes a mobile control panel — repositionable for optimal operator visibility during setup and rolling cycles.

🛡️

Drop-End Mechanism

All models include drop-end for cylinder removal. The 3H provides hydraulic drop-end for the fastest cycle times; 3HX, 3MA, and 3MB use manual mechanisms.

📋

Certified & Documented

All VERTEX models carry dual CSA + UL certification with full user manuals. Compliant for Canadian shops and international markets.

Applications

Where VERTEX 3-Roll Plate Rolls Are at Work

Versatile initial pinch rolling for fabrication shops of every size.

HVAC & Ductwork

VERTEX 3MA and 3MB models handle light-gauge sheet for round duct, spiral fittings, and HVAC housings. CSA + UL certification meets Canadian building code requirements for manufactured components.

Structural Fabrication

Curved beams, rolled plates for columns, and architectural metalwork. The VERTEX 3H handles the thickest plates up to .47″ with hydraulic precision for structural applications.

Tank & Vessel Work

Small to mid-size pressure vessel shells, water tanks, and process equipment. Pre-bending capability on the 3H and 3MA ensures tight-tolerance fit-up for downstream welding.

Wire & Rod Bending

The VERTEX 3HX and 3MB include wire grooves on rolls as standard — ready for wire, rod, and small-diameter round stock bending without additional tooling.

Composite & Specialty Materials

The VERTEX 3MA offers an optional plastic-coated top roll for Alucobond and composite panel bending — the only VERTEX model with this capability. Extended roll shafts available for profile and pipe bending.
