Bending Operation In Sheet Metal

Sheet metal bending is one of the most widely used sheet metal fabrication operation.

Bending operation in sheet metal.

Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. In this type of a bending operation in which when a force is used to the punch to move into the die the sheet metal piece in between the punch and die gets the shape according to the shape of the die and punch i e. Type of bend and bend length depends on punch and die design. Typical products that are made like this are boxes such as electrical enclosures and rectangular ductwork.

These sections are located at the edges. This is done through the application of force on a workpiece. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. Edge bending is used to eliminate sharp edges to provide geometric surfaces for purposes such as joining to protect the part.

This external force results in the plastic deformation of the workpiece. Bending is a manufacturing process that produces a v shape u shape or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials most commonly sheet metal. Bending operations are commonly used in industrial sheet metal processing and involve bending a section of the metal that is small relative to the part. Bending involves the application of external force using punch and die at specified length of the work piece.
