Bending machines: the right choice of type and equipment

The bending machine, depending on the type, can work with metal sheets of different thicknesses. There are CNC models that simplify the manufacturing process.

Bending machines are common equipment that is actively used both in large enterprises and in private workshops. Enterprises where roofing elements and metal parts are made cannot do without them. The bending machine itself is supplemented with special knives for cutting material. The exact parameters of the product allow you to get the goniometers used to set the desired angle.

Types of bending machines

There are several types of equipment:

• Tame. Low cost, often used in private workshops. Work with such machines can be performed by specialists with certain skills and strength.

• Mechanical. To obtain the desired bend, the flywheel is untwisted. This type, like the previous one, is not used to perform a large amount of work.

• Hydraulic. They suggest solving problems with fluid. Under pressure, it acts on the cylinder, which bends the sheet.

• Electromechanical. They have an engine that transfers force to the pressure bar. Suitable for folding material with a large thickness.
