Overview

Beading machines for sheet metal form narrow, reinforced ribs or beads along edges and flat panels to add strength, guide fit, or prepare joints. They range from manual bench units to automated roll- or press-based machines for HVAC, automotive, and cabinet work. These machines improve stiffness and alignment while enabling repeatable, clean beads on materials like steel, aluminum, and stainless sheet.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used beading machine?

Check spindle and roller condition, guides and dies for wear, frame straightness, motor and gearbox function, control responsiveness, and maintenance records. Run a test piece if possible to verify bead quality and repeatability.

How do I ship a beading machine safely?

Secure moving parts, remove loose tools and dies, block and brace the machine on a pallet or skid, protect rollers and controls, and use a heavy-equipment carrier with lift capability and insurance for transit.

What maintenance keeps a beading machine reliable?

Regularly clean and lubricate bearings, rollers, and slides; inspect dies and rollers for wear; check drive belts/chains and gearbox oil; verify alignment and tighten fasteners. Follow manufacturer intervals and keep a service log.
