Why Choose the Nargesa MT150A?
The MT150A combines several ornamental forming operations into a single machine, allowing fabricators to produce a much wider variety of decorative components without relying on separate equipment for each operation.
Its 20 mm twisting capacity and 16 mm bending capacity cover many of the material sizes commonly used in ornamental ironwork, while the extensive tooling selection allows fabricators to produce everything from basic twists and rings to scrolls, hooks, chains and specialized railing components.
The automatic piece programmer is particularly useful for repeat production. Once a design is programmed, the machine can repeatedly perform the same movement while counting completed pieces and returning to the starting position. This helps improve consistency when producing multiple identical components.
At the same time, the MT150A remains straightforward to operate. Its adjustable speed, forward/reverse controls and millimeter positioning scale make it practical for custom one-off work as well as production runs.
