Abstract

An incremental metal folding apparatus may include a crank arm driving a folding mechanism in continuous reciprocating motion. The folding mechanism may be mechanically linked to a clamp arrangement such that motion of the folding mechanism causes movement of the clamp arrangement. The apparatus may be arranged to perform tangential folding operations.
