Bending & Forming Services

Sheet metal bending is a type of metal fabrication used for applications in many industries. From structural components and panels, to brackets, tubing, and metal appliance and electrical enclosures, sheet metal is a versatile and durable material. When a part’s design calls for a lengthwise bend or curve, a press brake is the best way to form it.
Get Started

Press Brake Bending for Sheet Metal Fabrication.

A press brake is an efficient and precise way to bend sheets or plates of metal. A sheet is placed between upper and lower dies. The upper die presses down on the metal to form the desired angle along the length of the workpiece. A piece called a back gauge then slides forward to hold the workpiece in position as it is bent. Machines are equipped with different tonnages that determine the force with which they press the material. The material used, thickness, and angle or shape to achieve all determine the appropriate tonnage. 

Press brakes also have maximum lengths of material they can accommodate ranging from a few feet to 12 ft. or more. As a result, many metal fabricators operate several press brake machines in order to expand their capabilities.

Most modern press brakes are operated with hydraulics and CNC programming to repeat the same bends over and over for a high degree of repeatability and minimal variation. Bends of different angles and different effects are created with a variety of dies. Some common shapes and profiles include:

  • Acute, obtuse, 90 degree angles
  • U-bends and channels
  • Corrugation
  • Tubes and pipes
  • Hemming (i.e., flat single or double fold)
