Types of Sheet Metal Bending
Cylinder Bending
Some of the models used in sheet metal bending are cylinder bending, profile bending, and pipe bending. Sheet metal bending has a wide range of applications. After the latest technological developments, many machines have been produced, and sheet metal bending processes have been innovated.
As one of the bending types, this process is carried out by cylinder machines. Cylinder machines bend the parts placed inside them into a cylindrical shape. Some cylinder machines do not require lubrication. In addition to these, there are also those produced in accordance with PSG technology. Then there are those that work with a hydraulic unit. Machines with a hydraulic unit perform the bending process between 1000 mm – 120000 mm, ensuring a quality bending process. These cylinder machines have 4 rollers. This enables high-quality sheet metal bending. CNC cylinder bending products are suitable for safe use in terms of both hydraulic and electrical aspects. You can get information about pipe bending and other bending processes applied in sheet metal bending from the address. Some of the areas where cylinder bending is used include: steel minarets of mosques, pipe sections for water drainage in buildings, concrete pipes placed in the sea, and sewer infrastructures where cylinder bending processes are mandatory. Cylindrical pipes are used in many areas.
Profile Bending
It enables the bending of profiles by performing the bending process on the workpieces. Marking, welding, and drilling operations are also applied. These operations are performed by vise machines. Bending by hammering is not done on large profiles. Instead, with new production and developing large-table vise machines, it allows larger profiles to be shaped. Profile bending is done suitable for every area. It is used in steel structure industry, iron-steel goods, decorative productions, and machine manufacturing. It can also be used for construction and special designs. Pipe bending is the process of shaping a straight pipe to bend it at any angle. Pipe bending methods are used to reshape pipes of different types. Recently, many innovations have been made in pipe bending processes. Pipe bending is not only applicable to round pipes but also used for wires and solid rods, as well as pipes in square and rectangular forms.
