RCS 130-20 Bending machine, Electronic console
The technical response from Picot experts
It is very difficult to bend honeycomb structures.
RCS three-roller plate bending machines (with three powered rollers) are the only machines capable of bending this material without damaging it.
Picot machines are very well-regarded in the aeronautics industry (Airbus, Safran, etc.) because of their performance and reliability. It is important to be able to use machines that have a near-zero failure rate.
