An infrared heating tube softens a narrow line across the sheet, which can then be folded by hand to the required angle. Water flows through cooling channels on both sides of the heating zone, so only the bend line softens and the rest of the sheet stays flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo working lengths are available. The PQB-700 bends sheet up to 650 mm wide and the PQB-1300 up to 1250 mm.
