Sheet metal bending

Sheet metal bending is a mechanical process that allows a sheet metal part to be deformed, creating angles or radii of different degrees. This technique is widely used in various industries, such as the electromechanical, appliance, electronic and furniture industries.

How is sheet metal bent?

apply a force to bend the metal sheet to the desired profile. Bending machines, or bending presses, are machines specially designed to perform these operations in a precise and controlled manner.In order to achieve high-quality sheet metal bending results, there are some key factors to consider. The selection of the correct bending sequence and tools, bending angle, applied force and the correct position of the sheet metal are all crucial aspects to consider.

In addition, the use of tooling and stamping dies specifically designed for the type of bending required helps to ensure accurate and even bending.

Sheet metal bending offers numerous advantages, including the possibility of creating components with complex geometries, reduced production times and the ability to achieve aesthetically pleasing results.  It is important to note that during bending, the material undergoes a certain amount of deformation, andtherefore the dimensional tolerance and characteristics of the metal used must be considered.The bending of sheet metal is a fundamental process in the metalworking industry, which enables the production of components with customised and precise shapes. Proper planning, the use of appropriate equipment and the expertise of the machinists are key elements in ensuring optimal results in sheet metal bending.

The bending phase at UGS

We have a number of machines, each with unique technical specifications, which allow us to offer high-quality, high-precision results, and ensure the flexibility to work with a wide range of sheet metal thicknesses. In addition, these machines are capable of handling blades up to 2500 mm in length, allowing us to tackle even very large projects.The distinguishing feature of our bending machines is the integrated 6-axis control. This advanced system allows us to achieve outstanding precision in sheet metal bending, guaranteeing repeatability and uniformity of results.

This level of detailed control means that we are able to produce complex geometries and precise angles to meet our customers’ specific requirements.Whether for large-scale production or customised projects, our state-of-the-art sheet metal bending machinery offers superior capabilities and performance.

Our team of highly skilled machinists works in synergy with these state-of-the-art machines to provide customised solutions and high-quality results for our customers.
