Bending

Sheet metal bending is a reliable, cost-effective fabrication process designed to optimize your production workflows—combining tight tolerances, design versatility, and sustainable practices for projects across industries.

Core Advantages

Maximized Material Efficiency: Hit over 90% material utilization via progressive die design and nested layouts—far more economical than casting (which loses 20-30% of material to runner systems).
Flexible Design Capabilities: Fabricate complex shapes (V-parts, multi-sided bends) by adjusting bend radii (e.g., aluminum requires radius > sheet thickness) and springback compensation.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for appliance housings, industrial distribution boxes, fire box, FTTH cabinets and custom metal decor.

Key Specifications

Compatible Metals: Aluminum, Steel, Stainless Steel
Sheet Thickness: Common range for ordinary CNC bending machines is 0.5mm–20mm (for carbon steel). Due to differences in material strength, the maximum thickness for stainless steel/aluminum alloys is slightly lower (typically 0.5mm–12mm).
Sheet Width: Conventional machine workbench widths are 1.6m, 2.5m, and 3.2m. The maximum processing width is ≤ the workbench width (with clamping space reserved).
Bending Angle: Capable of achieving arbitrary angles between 0°–135°; some models support flanging or curling greater than 135°.
Bending Radius: The minimum bending radius is usually 0.5–1.5 times the sheet thickness (depending on material hardness and machine precision). Ultra-small radius internal bending is not feasible (special dies required).
