Horizontal Bending Machines

Hydraulic horizontal bending machines are ideal for precision bending, straightening, punching and shearing. Available with a range of capacities and with a large range of optional tooling, these machines are capable of performing a whole variety of bending operations.There are three basic types of metal bending: Air bending, Bottom Bending/Bottoming, and Coining. These typifications are based on the relationship of the end tool's position to the thickness of the material. A bending machine is a forming machine tool (DIN 8586). Its purpose is to assemble a bend on a workpiece. A bend is manufactured by using a bending tool during a linear or rotating move.Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Also known as press braking, flanging, die bending, folding and edging, this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.
