Sheet Metal Bending
Sheet metal bending is a forming process. In process of custom sheet metal bending, a metal sheet is passed through a pressure device and a special mold to transform a desired three-dimensional shape by applying bending stress. We are professional sheet metal bending company and we provide custom sheet metal bending services.
What is Sheet Metal Bending？
The process of Sheet Metal Bending involves transforming a flat sheet of metal into a V-shaped opening. To achieve this, the workpiece is positioned onto a concave die that has a V-shaped opening. Subsequently, a wedge-shaped tool (knife) applies pressure to the workpiece, pushing it into the V-shaped opening and bending the plate to the desired angle.Xiertek USA Sheet Metal Bending Process
The bending, or press brake forming or folding, is a forming process in which the plastic deformation happens over an axis. Bending does not normally change the thickness of the sheet metal.Punches and dies press brakes are used to perform this process. A die can be a lower V- or U-shaped tool. The plate is pressed into the die to made a bending part.
The CNC controls of our machines will precisely regulate the lowering depth and helps to maintain the minimum bending radius.
Xiertek USA Custom Sheet Metal Bending Servies
Xiertek USA offers professional Custom Sheet Metal Bending Services with seven different methods available:V-bending
this method involves using a v-shaped die and punch to bend sheet metal to achieve acute, obtuse, or 90° bend angles.Air Bending
leaves space (or air) underneath the sheet, allowing for more bend angle control than conventional v-bending, resulting in higher accuracy due to less springback.Bottom bending
this method requires a higher tonnage press to achieve precise bend angle control.Wipe Bending
involves holding the sheet metal against a wipe die via a pressure pad, and using a punch to force the edge of the sheet beyond the die and pressure pad, causing it to bend.Roll Bending
uses sets of rollers to feed (and bend) the metal stock into rolls, tubes, cones, or curved shapes.Rotary Draw Bending
the sheet metal is clamped to a rotating die and drawn around the die to form a geometry that matches the desired bend radius, with an internal supporting mandrel to prevent wrinkling on the surface and minimize the risk of scratches.Customized Shape Bending
