Forming Corners Sheet Metal

Our sheet metal corner former machine is used throughout the world in the fabrication of different parts as panels doors or road signs.

Forming corners sheet metal.

A new flexible state of the art technology known as. A forming process for producing sharp corners in sheet metal workpieces and a press brake useful in carrying out such a process involving a male forming die incorporating a nipple for extruding the sheet metal stock material into the adjacent region defined by the female coining die for forming a sharp corner in the workpiece. For example we can create a pan shaped part from a solid rectangle metal sheet in one process. No size limitation of parts with corner former machine.

The flexible corner former for panel and door fabrication allows you to create high quality. Similar to tucking the corners of a bedsheet these benders twist and wrap the metal into triangle shaped folds to form corners. The corner forming radius can be. Flange heights up to 15 x material thickness can be formed.

Video describes the basic function and process of corner forming for sheetmetal pans. The flexible acf cornerformer multiflex is a sheet metal corner rounder which provides the best solution for cold rounded corners in doors panels and other flat sheet metal parts in a consistent perfect quality. Corners up to 10x faster than welding which reduces cost. This technique eliminates all welding and very often also finishing as a secondary process.

The part does not need to be transported to the welding department and then again to the grinding department. Flexible corner forming gives new opportunities in sheet metal production of panels or doors. Cold forming of corners on doors or panels in any material formable mild steel stainless steel aluminum alloys and others allow us to use any material thickness and individual flange heights. Economy sheet metal benders make bends up to 90 in metal sheets.

Operators move the part once to the corner former. It offers completely new opportunities in metal sheet production of doors panels and road signs without welding of corners or grinding them cold forming of corners for these applications in any formable material mild steel stainless steel aluminium allow you to use nearly any material. No welding no grinding no finishing. In addition corner forming eliminates the need for stacking to weld and restacking to grind.

The new tooling design allow to form corners in any flange height in connection with any material thickness up to 5 mm. This new flexible corner forming machine makes corner welding obsolete.
