Which Trim Coil Holder Setup is better: Vertical?

Do you prefer running your trim coil holder vertical or horizontal?

When setting up your trim coil holder, one of the biggest decisions is whether to run it vertically or horizontally, each setup has advantages depending on your workflow.

a vertical setup can offer better control when feeding coil, especially for longer pieces or when precision matters. While it’s not mounted to the brake, many fabricators prefer it for its handling and material flow.

Watch the two quick videos showing both setups in action so you can see the benefits of each and decide what fits your workflow best.

At the end of the day, it comes down to how you like to work—efficiency and convenience vs control and feed style.

Longest Portable Bending Brake

The longest brake we have assembled so far on display

Presenting the longest portable bending brake ever made (to our knowledge):

A few weeks ago we assembled six 42’’ modules together to create a 21ft long Heavy Duty Innovatools Modular Brake with a 24’’ throat. A customer reached out to us asking if he could have a brake that is 21 ft long, our answer was; Why not?! Having the ability to join modules together and create a virtually infinite length of bending brake is a design that is easily achievable with the Innovatools Modular Brake design.

Conclusion:

So as you can see here, the advantages of having a modular design are VERY beneficial from many aspects from manufacturing, to shipping, to the end user. Although with some explanations the Whys might seem more obvious now, sometimes benefits need to be explained to truly grasp and understand the revolutionary aspect of a new product in an industry that hasn’t seen much design changes in a long period of time and has therefore set baseline expectations from a long time ago. Innovatools is there to disrupt the industry and to reset the baseline on those expectations.
