Key Features of the Stefa VH315 Folding Machine
The Stefa VH315 is packed with features designed to optimize your fabrication processes. Its high-speed servomotor backgauge offers a range of 5 mm to 1100 mm, with a tolerance of +/- 0.02 mm. This level of precision ensures that every bend is accurate, reducing the need for rework and increasing overall efficiency. The backgauge speed of 250 mm/s allows for rapid adjustments, making it ideal for high-volume production environments.
The machine’s hydraulic shear is another highlight, equipped with adjustable slitting blades for smooth and precise cutting. The hydraulic power unit, driven by an ABB inverter, ensures high energy efficiency and low noise operation. This combination of power and precision makes the VH315 a versatile tool capable of handling a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
Safety is a top priority with the VH315. The machine complies with European safety norms and includes features such as a safety triple pedal, safety bar, and emergency button on the command panel. These safety measures ensure that operators can work confidently and efficiently, knowing that their well-being is protected. Additionally, the machine’s ergonomic design, including an anti-fatigue mat, enhances operator comfort during long shifts.
Advanced Backgauge and Shear Capabilities
The VH315’s backgauge system is a marvel of engineering, offering both standard and servomotor options. The standard backgauge provides a tolerance of +/- 0.1 mm and a speed of 70 mm/s, suitable for most bending operations. However, for tasks requiring higher precision and speed, the servomotor backgauge is the ideal choice, with a tolerance of +/- 0.02 mm and a speed of 250 mm/s. This flexibility allows you to choose the best configuration for your specific needs.
The built-in hydraulic shear is designed for strength and precision, featuring adjustable slitting blades that ensure smooth operation. The shear’s hydraulic power and linear guidance system provide the robustness needed for cutting through various materials, including up to 3 mm mild steel. This capability makes the VH315 a versatile tool that can handle a wide range of cutting and bending tasks with ease.
In addition to its standard features, the VH315 offers several optional enhancements to further boost its performance. For instance, the EliteBender CNC package includes advanced graphical control with a 21” touch monitor, 600,000 program capacity, and remote connection capability. These features enable more complex operations and greater control over the bending process, making the VH315 an even more powerful tool in your fabrication arsenal.

Safety and Additional Options for Enhanced Performance
Safety is integral to the design of the Stefa VH315. The machine is equipped with a comprehensive safety circuit that includes a safety triple pedal, safety bar, and emergency button on the command panel. These features ensure that operators can work safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of accidents. The machine also includes mechanical protections on the shear and intermediate stops on the clamping beam, further enhancing its safety profile.
The VH315 offers a range of additional options to tailor the machine to your specific needs. For example, the Goat Foot Tool is ideal for creating narrow high U-flanges and making boxes, while the conical backgauge provides added precision for complex bending tasks. Retractable trays and a mobile control stand enhance the machine’s versatility and ease of use, making it a practical choice for a wide range of applications.
For those operating in extreme temperatures, the VH315 can be equipped with a hydraulic exchanger to cool the oil temperature or a hydraulic heater to warm it. These options ensure that the machine performs optimally in various industrial environments. Additionally, the Elite 4.0 software license allows for program transfer to office PCs, enabling seamless integration into your existing workflow and enhancing overall productivity.
