Precision Sheet Aluminum Bending

This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.

Precision sheet aluminum bending.

Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. Located in southwest lower michigan we provide custom bending of aluminum extrusions for the commercial construction industry. The force must exceed the material s yield strength to achieve a plastic deformation. No matter the size of the job niles aluminum products places the highest priority on meeting your requirements for precision metal curving delivered on a realistic timetable.

All work is carried out in accordance with iso9001 2015 ts16949 standards and the products comply with the rohs standard.

Material bend radii and minimum bend size charts please note. Our services require a high degree of skill high tech machinery and thorough knowledge of metal working.

Three point bending powered by servo motors and supplying niche and specialty markets. Precision sheet metal of virginia is a leader in sheet metal fabrication. Air bending coining and bottoming all with a press brake tool for high precision. Use the minimum bend dimension values in the charts below for your minimum closeness of cutout to a bend.

During bending compressive stresses occur on the inside of the bend toward the inside bend radius while expansion occurs toward the outside radius. Common bending processes include. Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. We strongly believe that by incorporating the latest technology into our services we can provide our customers with outstanding results.

When an operator sees aluminum 5052 or even better yet aluminum 3003 on the part prints it s probably going to be a much better day. The bend radius you select may not be available if the geometry of the part will not allow us to bend with the specific tooling required to achieve that radius. In the flat condition the neutral axis is in the middle of the material thickness. Steve benson is a member and former chair of the precision sheet metal technology council of the fabricators manufacturers association international.

The number of ways to bend sheet metal are as unique as the products they create.
