Why shops upgrade to LineA

  • 33% faster bending speed means layouts are processed with speed and precision, keeping your production moving.
  • Versatility in one machine—LineA comes equipped with specialty cartridges for bridging, cut/crease, broaching at the end of a piece, and more, all as standard features.
  • Minimize downtime thanks to a reliable, high-performance system designed for fast turnarounds.
  • Perfect nicks every time with a 6-wheel grinding unit that eliminates inconsistencies.
  • U.S.-based service, parts, and support
“Some of the jobs that we build required seven, eight hours of grinding, two, three hours of broaching. The LineA is able to do these tasks in fifteen to twenty minutes, maybe an hour, reducing our rule times down from eight or nine hours to two or three hours.”
— Nate Conner, Vice President, Ameritek, Greensboro, North Carolina

Highlights

Nick grinding that’s 5× faster.

The new 6-wheel Ultranick grinding unit uses individual electric spindles with precision depth control to deliver clean, uniform nicks every time. Controlled entirely by the machine software, nick positions are automatically imported from your CAD drawing—no manual setup required. A powerful vacuum system keeps the area clean, and the process is now five times faster than before.

Broaching, reengineered for precision and flexibility.

LineA’s redesigned in-line broaching unit supports a wide range of broaching tools, allowing for accurate and repeatable shapes. It now enables broaching at both the beginning and end of each piece, while fully protecting the miter lip. The result? A grind-on effect at the ends of the rule—executed with clean, consistent precision.

Smart software made for diemakers.

LineA runs on SDDS—Serviform’s custom-built software developed specifically for the diemaking industry. Powered by Windows OS, it’s easy to use, integrates seamlessly with shop networks, and provides full control over machine functions through electric and pneumatic systems. Multiple industrial PLCs now manage all machine operations, offering greater speed, stability, and process efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

The LineA is Serviform's fastest automatic rule bender, delivering bending speeds 33% faster than the company's previous fastest model. It's built for die shops where throughput drives profit — high volume, tight deadlines, no tolerance for bottlenecks.

Up to 5× faster than previous models. The 6-wheel Ultranick grinding unit uses individual electric spindles with per-wheel depth control, fully managed by the machine software, to deliver clean, uniform nicks at production speed.

The LineA processes steel rule heights from 20.0 to 32.0 mm (0.79–1.26 in.) and thicknesses of 1.5 pt (0.53 mm), 2 pt (0.71 mm), 3 pt (1.07 mm), and 4 pt (1.42 mm) with appropriate tooling.

Bridging, perforation, cut/crease, miter, end-of-piece broaching, nick grinding, and scribing come standard. Options include clipped corners for steel counter plates, dovetail, revolver nicks, and jointlock — one machine, nearly every rule operation.

A new rule-locking device stabilizes the rule during bending, and the fully servo-driven system keeps motion consistent and quiet. An integrated vacuum system removes chips and dust so debris never compromises the bend.

The LineA imports CF2, DXF, DDE, DD3, DS2, and RTX files, with nick positions pulled directly from the CAD drawing — what your designer draws is what the bender makes.

SDDS, the Serviform Digital Diemaking System — Windows-based for easy network integration, powered by multiple industrial PLCs for speed and stability.

The machine body measures 2250 × 1275 × 1740 mm (88.6 × 50.2 × 68.5 in.), with a coil holder trolley at 800 × 1050 × 1100 mm (31.5 × 41.3 × 43.3 in.).

Contact Serviform America. Bring your current daily rule output — we'll show you what the same jobs look like at LineA speed and configure options around your production.

Yes — end broaching is standard on the LineA. Its redesigned inline broaching unit processes rule end-to-end without damaging the miter lips, and multiple broaching tools support varied shapes with high accuracy. That means broached ends come off the bender finished — no secondary operation, no hand rework, and no scrapped pieces from a damaged miter.

Outdated machines and slow support cost you time and money—Serviform delivers reliable die making equipment and fast service, so your shop stays productive and stress-free.
