The Slotted Clampbar is ideal for making shallow trays and pans quickly and accurately.
The advantages of the slotted clampbar over the set of short clampbars for making trays are that the bending edge is automatically aligned to the rest of the machine, and the clampbar automatically lifts to facilitate the insertion or removal of the workpiece. (Never-the-less, the short clampbars can be used to form trays of unlimited depth, and of course, are better for making complex shapes.)
| Length of slotted clampbar | Suits model | Forms trays of lengths | Maximum tray depth |
| 690 mm | 650E | 15 to 635 mm | 40 mm |
| 1070 mm | 1000E | 15 to 1015 mm | 40 mm |
| 1320 mm | 1250E, 2000E, 2500E & 3200E | 15 to 1265 mm | 40 mm |
To fold up a shallow tray:
Fold-up the first two opposite sides and the corner tabs using the slotted clampbar but ignoring the presence of the slots. These slots will not have any discernible effect on the finished folds.
Finally, with the edge of the tray under the clampbar and between the two chosen slots, fold up the remaining sides. The previously formed sides go into the selected slots as the final folds are completed.
