What to verify on any used folder or brake

  • Serial plate: photograph it and confirm working length and rated capacity.
  • Test fold: fold a full-length piece and check the angle at both ends and the middle.
  • Drives and hydraulics: look for leaks, noise and uneven movement on powered units.
  • Controls and back gauge: test repeatability and ask about software and controller support.
  • Tooling and manuals: list the tools included and ask for documentation and service records.

Questions about CIDAN

Is this site affiliated with CIDAN?

No. This is an independent, community-run marketplace. CIDAN machines are listed by members who own them, and buyers deal directly with those sellers. The site does not inspect, guarantee, ship or finance any equipment. For factory support, parts or official specifications, contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer directly.

Is a used programmable folder a good buy for a small shop?

It can be, if you make enough trim to benefit from faster, repeatable folds and you have the space and power for it. The main risks are controller support and repair costs. Ask about software, service availability and parts in your area, and compare the total cost with a manual brake.

How do I check the history of a used CIDAN machine?

Ask the seller for a clear photo of the serial plate, then contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer with that number. They may be able to confirm the model, configuration and sometimes the original build details. Also ask the seller for receipts, service records and how long they have owned the machine.
