Precision sheet aluminum bending.

Some require heat some force some careful application of physics and some a combination of these tools. During bending compressive stresses occur on the inside of the bend toward the inside bend radius while expansion occurs toward the outside radius. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. Precision sheet metal of virginia is a leader in sheet metal fabrication.

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. We strongly believe that by incorporating the latest technology into our services we can provide our customers with outstanding results. The number of ways to bend sheet metal are as unique as the products they create. This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.

Mulan manufacturing group is a chinese manufacturer of professional custom sheet metal fabrication service with more than 20 years of experience in sheet metal forming. Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Use the minimum bend dimension values in the charts below for your minimum closeness of cutout to a bend. 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.

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. The force must exceed the material s yield strength to achieve a plastic deformation. All work is carried out in accordance with iso9001 2015 ts16949 standards and the products comply with the rohs standard. Welcome precision sheet metal mexico is a company that supplies parts and assemblies made of metal sheets like carbon steel aluminum and copper using cnc punching machines cnc laser cutters press brakes shears and hardware insertion such as mig tig spot welding as a complement of these processes epoxy powder paint silk screen and plating if is needed.

Located in southwest lower michigan we provide custom bending of aluminum extrusions for the commercial construction industry. 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. In the flat condition the neutral axis is in the middle of the material thickness.

Material bend radii and minimum bend size charts please note.
