Bending of metal sheets

During bending metal sheets are designed by means of a press brake through a lower mould, also called V-block, and a ‘stamp’.

For bending there is no need for a specific matrix which makes this kind of bending very advantageous in view of production costs. Besides this, the press brake is also quickly adjustable by numerical operation. This makes bending extremely suitable for small or medium-sized series.

Applications of bending:

• Bending can be used for all kinds of metal, up to a gauge 25 mm
• Using the bending technique, sheets of up to 4 m in length and 2 m width can be processed.
