In the realm of sheet metal fabrication, bending stands as a fundamental process, transforming flat sheets into intricate shapes and structures. Understanding the dynamics of bending, the machinery involved, and the diverse applications is crucial for any sheet metal factory. Here, we delve into the essentials of sheet metal bending, from its definition to the intricacies of CNC bending machines and the variety of shapes achievable.
Definition of Bending
Bending is a process wherein metal sheets undergo deformation under pressure, transitioning from elastic to plastic deformation. As the upper or lower mold applies pressure, the sheet material gradually conforms to the shape of the mold’s V-shaped groove, resulting in a bend. This process involves both elastic and plastic deformation until the desired shape is achieved.
CNC Bending Machine
Central to modern sheet metal fabrication is the CNC bending machine, equipped with specialized systems to precisely bend metal sheets into various shapes. These machines utilize CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems to control the movement of the upper and lower tools, ensuring high-precision bends. From single-axis to multi-axis machines, CNC bending machines offer versatility and accuracy in shaping metal components.
Factory Bending Equipment Types
The backbone of any sheet metal factory’s bending operations lies in CNC bending machines. Moreover, these machines come in various configurations, each tailored to specific bending requirements. Differentiating factors include pressure tonnage and maximum bending length, catering to a wide range of workpiece sizes and thicknesses.
1.Low-Pressure Bending Machine (5t): Ideal for small parts with a thickness of up to 25mm.
2.Medium-Pressure Bending Machine (130t): Suited for long and thick materials, capable of bending up to 3m with no fixed thickness limit.
3.Medium-Pressure Bending Machine (35t): Designed for bending with a maximum length of 1.2m.
4.High-Pressure Bending Machine (35t, Imported): Similar to the previous machine but with a maximum bending length of 1.5m.
Bendable Shapes
It offers versatility in shaping various geometries, including U-shaped, Z-shaped, square barrel types, and more. Moreover, the flexibility of CNC bending machines allows for the creation of intricate and customized designs, meeting diverse industrial needs.
