REICH FAB’S Sheet Metal Bending Methods

Changing the form of sheet metal is done by applying force to it. Bending sheet metal is done using the following methods:

V-Bending

Because it’s the most prevalent way of sheet bending, it’s worth mentioning here. In order to bend sheet metal at certain angles, we make use of equipment called a punch and v-die. The bending punch pushes on the sheet metal that is put over the V-die during the bending operation.

Roll Bending

It is possible to bend sheet metal into rolls or curved forms with the use of the roll bending technique. Making small, medium and large round bends is possible with the use of a hydraulic press, an air brake and three sets of rollers. Using the spacing between rollers helps produce cones, tubes and hollow structures like cylinders and pipes.

U-Bending

U-bending, like V-bending, is based on the same concept. The sole difference is that the shape generated is U-shaped, which is achieved by using the identical equipment and technique (with the exception of a U-die). The practice of bending a tube in a U shape is fairly common. Other solutions, on the other hand, are more flexible.

The Versatility of Sheet Metal Bending in Manufacturing

Sheet metal bending is a manufacturing process that is used to permanently form complex shapes from sheet metal. This process is done by clamping the material between two dies and forcing it to bend along a curved line. The piece of material can be bent in multiple directions to create intricate designs, as well as straight bends at various angles.v
