CNC Bending

CNC Bending Services

Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Also known as press braking, die bending, folding and edging, this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape.

We take pride in our ability to meet our customers’ needs across a wide range of services. That’s why we offer metal bending services that make use of CNC hydraulic press brakes in the same facility where we offer machining, welding, laser cutting and more.

Step Project’s bending and forming tools can accommodate everything from the simplest to the most complex bends for your fabrication project.
We can provide custom metal bending services for a wide range of industries.

Advantages

- An ideal solution for variable lot sizes and complex tool layouts
- A cost-effective near net shape process when used for low to medium quantities
- Quick tool setups. The Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) can load even the most complex tool layout within three minutes
- Four independent tool manipulators
- Automatic and safe tool locking by hydraulic clamps
- Possible reverse orientation of tools
- An integrated bend sensor that guarantees consistent bend angle accuracy
- TDS: detection of the thickness of the sheet material (discrepancies between the thickness determined and a previously specified reference value are detected and the entry depth of the die is adjusted)
