Air bending

Air bending

Sheet metal bending is a crucial process in manufacturing and metalworking. Various technologies are used depending on factors such as material type, thickness, precision requirements, and production volume. Here are some of the most common sheet metal bending technologies:

1. V-Bending:
Description: Uses a punch and die to bend the sheet metal into a "V" shape.
Types:
Air Bending: The sheet is not fully pressed into the die, allowing for flexible angle adjustments.
Bottoming (Coining): The metal is fully pressed into the die for precise angles and sharper bends.
