Automated Shearing & Bending for Duct Production

The Vicon Shear & Bend is a heavy-duty coil processing system designed to streamline the production of rectangular HVAC ductwork. Combining coil feeding, straightening, beading, notching, shearing, and bending in one efficient system, it helps reduce manual material handling while improving production speed and consistency.

Built for demanding sheet metal fabrication environments, the Shear & Bend features heavy-duty material handling components, combination notch dies, and a powerful hydraulic shear for clean, consistent processing. The bending system forms the male Pittsburgh edge and produces L-sections, U-sections, and full-wrap duct, providing flexibility for a variety of rectangular duct production requirements.

Powered by Vicon Coil Line Software, operators benefit from automated production control and customizable fabrication standards developed specifically for HVAC duct manufacturing. Designed, engineered, manufactured, and supported in the USA, the Vicon Shear & Bend delivers the reliability, accuracy, and productivity today's fabrication shops demand.
