Bending Machine
A bending machine is a mechanical device used to bend various materials, typically sheet metal or metal bars, into desired shapes or angles. These machines are commonly employed in the manufacturing and fabrication industries to produce components for various applications. Bending machines come in different types and sizes, each designed for specific purposes. Here are a few common types:
- Press Brake: A press brake is one of the most common types of bending machines. It uses a hydraulic or mechanical press to apply force to a metal workpiece, bending it at a predetermined angle.
- Roll Bending Machine: Roll bending machines, also known as plate rolling machines, are used to bend sheet metal into cylindrical or conical shapes.
- Tube Bending Machine: Tube bending machines are designed specifically for bending tubes and pipes.
- Profile Bending Machine: Profile bending machines are used to bend metal profiles and sections, such as angles, channels, and beams.
