Bending Operation In Sheet Metal

Commonly used equipment include box and pan brakes brake presses and other specialized machine presses.

Bending operation in sheet metal.

Bending is a manufacturing process that produces a v shape u shape or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials most commonly sheet metal. Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. These sections are located at the edges. This external force results in the plastic deformation of the workpiece.

It is a type of bending operation in which a piece of sheet metal is formed into an offset shape with the help of a punch and die. Sheet metal bending is one of the most widely used sheet metal fabrication operation. Typical products that are made like this are boxes such as electrical enclosures and rectangular ductwork. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape.

Bending operations are commonly used in industrial sheet metal processing and involve bending a section of the metal that is small relative to the part. Bending involves the application of external force using punch and die at specified length of the work piece. Edge bending is used to eliminate sharp edges to provide geometric surfaces for purposes such as joining to protect the part. Type of bend and bend length depends on punch and die design.
