The quality, size and power and size of the components on the Accu-Bend
cannot be matched by those making up the smaller Korean or Chinese
machines”
“The Accu-Bend’s components are also driven by power units with about 2,000 pounds per square inch power available. The notching and cutting on the Korean machine is done with the use of tiny electric motors with not nearly as much power. It also rotates dies, which adds to the risk of accuracy errors and break downs.”
The SDS technology also does not need much power as it can, with 5 bars
of compressed air and electric motors coupled, get the same result”
Bole however does acquiesce to one of Ondracek’s criticisms, in which he states: “The Accu-Bend can also change between manufacturing letters, with or without a flange, by one click of the mouse. On the Korean machine you have to physically move parts around.”
