CNC bending is a modern technological process for forming sheet metal, tubes, and profiles. The high degree of automation minimizes errors and costs. CNC machines are programmed with specialized software that determines every movement and pressure applied to the material to ensure precise and consistent results and enable repeatable processing of even complex shapes.
The CNC bending process consists of several steps, including material preparation, selecting a suitable tool, programming the machine, and the bending itself. This process can achieve different angles and geometries with high precision. CNC bending is often preferred in industrial manufacturing because it enables mass production with minimal deviations between individual parts.
Furthermore, CNC bending eliminates the need for additional manual processing, reducing production costs and increasing efficiency. This process is used in many industries, including the automotive, aerospace, construction, and mechanical engineering.
Simple Sheet Metal Bending
The oldest and simplest sheet metal bending method, used primarily for small sheet metal products requiring simple U- or V-bends. The advantage is simplicity and low cost, but at the expense of limited shaping options.
Sheet Metal Bending
A more advanced bending method that allows for more precise and complex bends. The press brake applies high pressure to the sheet metal, often performing the process as a sequence of multiple bending movements. It can be fully automated or require manual intervention (e.g., bar exchange). The advantage is high accuracy, repeatability, and the ability to create more complex shapes.
Circular Bending
Technology for creating round (non-sharp) bends. The sheet metal is formed using a set of rollers that gradually bend it into the desired shape. It is used, for example, in the production of pipes, cylindrical housings, and round structural elements. The advantage of rounding is the gentle curvature and the possibility of creating different bending radii.
Sheet metal edging
A process in which the sharp edges of a material are bent or rounded. It is used to reinforce sheet metal edges or to achieve an aesthetic effect. It is often used in the automotive industry, in the manufacture of appliances, or architectural elements. The advantage is the increased strength of the material and the absence of sharp edges, which not only improves the design but also the safety of the products.
Sheet metal straightening
This technology eliminates deformations and unevenness after previous processing. At the same time, the sheet metal passes through straightening rollers that flatten it into the desired shape. The advantage is the elimination of internal stresses in the material, thus achieving perfect flatness and increasing the quality of the final product.
Continuous sheet metal bending with profile rollers
This is a method primarily used in mass production where high speed and efficiency are required. The sheet metal passes between two or more forming rollers, which gradually impart the desired profile. The advantage of continuous bending is the high productivity and the possibility of continuous production.
CNC bending is used in the manufacture of car bodies, frames, exhaust systems, and chassis components. Thanks to its high precision and repeatability, it enables the efficient production of even complex shapes, which is crucial for mass production in the automotive industry.
Here, CNC bending is used in the production of beams, frames, supports, and industrial machine parts. Curved tubes and profiles are essential for hydraulic, pneumatic, and technological systems. CNC bending ensures high precision, strength, and repeatability in series production.
It is used in the manufacture of load-bearing structures, railings, facade systems, and construction accessories. Bent tubes are crucial for reinforcing elements in reinforced concrete structures. CNC bending ensures dimensional accuracy and strength, which are essential for building safety.
CNC bending enables the precise shaping of aluminum and stainless steel parts for aircraft construction, including frame structures and engine covers.
CNC-bent sheets and profiles are also used in the production of server cabinets, telecommunications masts or perhaps cooling systems.
CNC bending is a universal technology that enables the shaping of a wide variety of metal materials. When selecting a suitable material, it is important to consider its mechanical properties, flexibility, and strength to achieve the desired result without cracking or deformation.
Steel (carbon, stainless steel, alloy)
Steel is one of the most commonly bent materials. It is robust, durable, and easy to process, while stainless and alloy steels are suitable for other specialized applications.
Aluminum and aluminum alloys
Aluminum is lightweight and malleable, and aluminum alloys vary in their formability—some are highly malleable, while others require special treatments to prevent cracking.
Copper and Brass
Copper is soft, malleable, easy to bend, and highly conductive, while brass provides greater strength and aesthetic appeal.
Titanium and Titanium Alloys
CNC bending of titanium is more challenging due to its rigidity and flexibility, requiring precise adjustment of the bending process parameters.
Roxor and Rebar
Roxor is used in the construction industry to reinforce concrete structures, and precise CNC bending ensures high strength and stability of the resulting structure.
For the CNC bending process to run efficiently and precisely, several important steps must be taken to ensure optimal results and minimize manufacturing errors.
Technical Documentation
First, it is necessary to create a drawing or 3D model that defines the dimensions, bend angles, and required tolerances. We at Pro Tool Solutions are happy to assist you with this documentation.
Selecting Suitable Materials
The correct choice of material influences the resulting quality of the bend, taking into account its strength, flexibility, and the possible need for heat or surface treatment.
Determining the Right Bending Technique
Depending on the shape and accuracy requirements, a suitable bending method is selected, such as folding, rounding, hemming, etc.
CNC Machine Settings
We program the CNC bending machine according to the documentation and specifications of the respective product, including the bend angle, compressive force, and bending speed.
Inspection and Sample Testing
Before series production, a test bend is performed on the sample to ensure that the machine settings meet the required parameters and that no undesirable deformations occur.
After CNC bending, we offer additional operations upon customer request, such as drilling holes for assembly purposes and welding, either using MIG, TIG, or laser welding. We also perform grinding or other surface treatments that eliminate imperfections and ensure a smooth surface for functionality or aesthetics. Additional services include marking with a production number, product name, logo, your company name, EAN code, or other trademark.
Occupational safety during CNC bending is a top priority at Pro Tool Solutions. Our employees are required to wear protective clothing and hearing protection, and thorough training in the operation of CNC machines is also required. The work area around the machine must be kept clean and marked to prevent accidents.
In addition to the use of protective equipment, we focus on regular inspection and maintenance of the machines to ensure they are in good technical condition. By adhering to these measures, we not only significantly increase workplace safety but also ensure smooth, high-quality, and responsible production for our customers.
The price for CNC bending depends on several factors, such as the material type, the complexity of the bends, the material thickness, and the number of pieces in the series. For an accurate pricing estimate, please contact us with the details of your project.
