Bending Services
Our “Service Centre” is a work environment designed to support firms that subcontract some of their processes, or need to carry out spot work.
Bending is a type of machining that involves the permanent deformation of the sheet metal by means of a bending action. The technical skill of the operators and the correct management of the equipment are crucial to ensure quality results.
Our operations team can offer custom solutions for a variety of customers and projects.
Bending Technologies
Air Bending
Air bending involves the use of a top punch that presses the sheet into a V-shaped die, leaving an empty space between the sheet and the bottom. This method allows the bending even of thick sheets, using less force, and to obtain different angles using the same tools.Bottom bending
With bottom bending, the dies allow overbending up to the maximum limit of the V aperture. This method guarantees precision and regular angles, reducing the elastic return, making the technique similar to moulding.Coining
Coining involves the use of a punch, which presses the sheet fully down to the hollow bottom of the die. By using the punch and the die with the same angle of inclination, the elastic return is completely eliminated. This technique offers precision, regular angles and the possibility of obtaining lower angles than with air bending.Hemming or flattening
Hemming takes place in two phases: a pre-hemming followed by a flattening process when the sheet is hemmed completely or partially. This technique, used to obtain rigidity and protection on the edges, requires special presses and is used to avoid sharp edges on the sheet.Principal bending machines
We constantly update our machine pool, and invest in the continuous training of our team to maximise the use of our resources and obtain optimal performance from our equipment.
