Industrial Bending Machine

The Industrial Bending Machine (IBM) is an EV tier multiblock for bending ingots into plates. The IBM is a direct upgrade from the singleblock bending machine because it runs at 600% speed and offers 6 parallels per voltage tier. Input separation should be enabled on the IBM for using different programmed circuits within the same machine.

The IBM has no tiered components. Buses/hatches may replace any metalworking machine casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure.

Structure

• Controller: Front left, 2nd layer
• 4-15 Metalworking Machine Casing
• 9 Forming Core
• 6 Titanium Frame Box
• 3 Titanium Gear Box Casing
• 1+ Energy Hatch: Any machine casing
• 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any machine casing
• 1 Muffler Hatch: Any machine casing
• 1+ Input Bus: Any machine casing
• 1+ Output Bus: Any machine casing

Wallsharing

IBMs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, frame boxes, forming cores, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

The IBM is a direct upgrade from the singleblock bending machine because it runs at 600% speed and offers 6 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table.

Input separation should be enabled on the IBM to prevent SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any programmed circuits. That means a single IBM with many input buses can support many different programmed circuits simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of metalworking machine casings.

The most common programmed circuits for bending machine recipes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11.

• The IBM used to be merged with the Industrial Forming Press in a multiblock called the Industrial Material Press.
