Bending device for cross connector

For contacting the junction box, the cross-connectors are usually bent into L-angles. There are two options here. "Bend yourself" or buy "bent and ready-made connectors". When purchasing, the material supplier cuts and bends the cross-connectors on a fully automatic machine. This enables him to achieve a good quality. The disadvantage, however, is the higher costs and, what is much more decisive, the higher logistical effort. This is reflected in longer delivery times, higher expenses for packaging, shipping and storage and losses due to bending of the already pre-bent bulky L-connectors.
