Corner Forming Sheet Metal

No size limitation of parts with corner former machine.

Corner forming sheet metal.

Operators move the part once to the corner former. This technique eliminates all welding and very often also finishing as a secondary process. For example we can create a pan shaped part from a solid rectangle metal sheet in one process. In addition corner forming eliminates the need for stacking to weld and restacking to grind.

Video describes the basic function and process of corner forming for sheetmetal pans. It is most economical to use a single bend radius throughout the design but if necessary you can utilize multiple radii. Economy sheet metal benders make bends up to 90 in metal sheets. The sheets for doors and tops of metal junction boxes can be very large.

Protocase tech tip video. The part does not need to be transported to the welding department and then again to the grinding department. Flexible corner forming gives new opportunities in sheet metal production of panels or doors. Quick video about bend radius watch more tech tip videos bend radii minimum bend sizes.

The flexible corner former for panel and door fabrication allows you to create high quality corners up to 10x faster than welding which reduces cost. Flange heights up to 15 x material thickness can be formed. Bending sheet metal by hand is a manageable task if the piece of sheet metal is small and thin enough to handle. Our sheet metal corner former machine is used throughout the world in the fabrication of different parts as panels doors or road signs.

No welding no grinding no finishing. A new flexible state of the art technology known as. Most frequently expensive sheet metal bending tools called brakes are used to bend sheet metal but you can also complete this task without one. In this video lazze demonstrates his metal shaping techniques to create a cab corner using his shrinker and english wheel.

Bend radii minimum bend sizes. Similar to tucking the corners of a bedsheet these benders twist and wrap the metal into triangle shaped folds to form corners. The corner forming radius can be.
