RotoBend gives you the freedom to make your own custom
hooks and fixtures without the
hassle of long lead times due to
outsourcing. RotoBend can
handle jobs that other
machines costing thousands
more can not. It sets up in
under 5 minutes and is capable
of producing up to 500 pieces
per hour. And, between your
increased efficiency and your
new in-house capabilities,
RotoBend has a short return
on investment.
