Every ELM machine is engineered and built for the carport, metal building, and steel fabrication industry — with the durability to run production shifts, day after day.
Fully automated PLC-controlled forming for L-Brackets and Flat Brackets, with a self-adjusting gauge that means zero changeover between material thicknesses.

The next machine in the ELM lineup is in development — expanding our roll forming capability for high channel profiles.
Get Notified at LaunchOur L-Bracket Machine forms both L-Brackets and Flat Brackets on a single line, running 55–60 brackets per minute with consistent, repeatable accuracy shift after shift.
Hydraulically actuated bending across a full 0–60° range, built for consistent angles on structural tube used in carports, buildings, and framing. For safety, the machine automatically shuts off after 5 minutes of idle time so it's never left running unattended.
Every ELM machine runs on industrial-grade control components chosen for reliability in daily production environments.
Industrial-grade programmable logic controllers driving every automated cycle.
Touchscreen operator control for cycle settings, job counts, and diagnostics.
Precision servo positioning behind the L-Bracket Machine's forming accuracy.
Variable frequency drive powering the ELM Custom Decoiler's motorized mandrel.
A motorized, adjustable 3-arm mandrel decoiler purpose-built to pair with the L-Bracket Machine — feeding coil stock smoothly with a simple, guarded control interface.
