This equipment transforms flat sheet metal into various shapes using precisely controlled force. A press brake, for example, clamps the workpiece between a matching punch and die to create bends, while a roll bender gradually forms curves. The process enables the fabrication of components for diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction.
The ability to efficiently shape metal sheets is crucial for modern manufacturing. It offers significant advantages, including high repeatability for consistent product quality and automation potential for increased productivity. The development of these technologies has revolutionized metalworking, transitioning from labor-intensive manual methods to sophisticated automated processes.
