Scotchman Expands Product Line with New HB-31 Horizontal Bending and Straightening Press
Scotchman Industries, a leading U.S. manufacturer of metal fabrication solutions, proudly introduces the HB-31 Horizontal Bending and Straightening Press — a compact, high-performance hydraulic press designed to expand shop capabilities and deliver unmatched precision in bending, profiling, and straightening operations.
Engineered for versatility and efficiency, the HB-31 combines robust hydraulic power with smart controls — all within a compact footprint of just 45”W x 30”D x 43”H. With 31 U.S. tons of force, a 5.3 HP motor, and a 7.5” stroke, this machine is built to handle demanding fabrication applications while maximizing valuable floor space.
The user-friendly NC control system allows operators to easily set and monitor piston stroke values and store up to 100 custom work cycles, each with up to six steps per cycle. A manual/automatic operation selector and electric foot pedals provide smooth, precise piston movement for optimal control and safety.
Each HB-31 press is equipped with a complete tooling package, including a V-matrix die, matching V-die, resistance pins, and a manual back gauge — ensuring shops are ready to start working right out of the box.
