Bending and Press Brake Services
Profelez offers metal bending and press brake services to accommodate up to .500” sheet metal thickness and delivers custom bending solutions to meet your requirements.
At Profelez, we provide bending and press brake services for metal sheet and plate products in various shapes, including U-shaped, V-shaped, and channel-shaped parts and assemblies in various degrees.
Our machines are typically long and narrow to bend large pieces of sheet metal. This system bends panels by lowering a punch onto the material that is placed on top of the die. We bend the metal several times by our machines until your desired form is achieved.
Profelez Bending and Press Brake Services Process
Press brake machines can be used to create a variety of shapes using many different materials. We consider several factors before starting the bending and press brake services process. These factors include the metal type, the punch, the die, and the bending force. It is essential to define the metal type due to the material’s difference in physical properties. For example, high carbon steel is harder to bend and press brake than aluminum alloys due to their differences in flexibility and strength. Metals often have recommended minimum bend radius, which we consider to prevent the material from having any potential damages during the procedure. The die and punch that are utilized on the machine also have a considerable impact on the process. The die has a shape similar to the desired product of the metal being bent. The punch is often a solid metal lowered down onto the panel. We place and suit both punch and die accurately to provide the best results for our customers. We define the amount of force our press brake provides with a parameter called tonnage.
Our state of art machines allow us to bend lengths of 4,000 mm.
Materials for bending and press brake services could include carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, Hardox wear plate, high-strength steels, including Strenx (Domex), brass, bronze, copper, and titanium. These materials are relatively ductile, which ensures that they bend before breaking. Ductility also allows them to be formed into certain sizes and shapes.
