There are several types of bending machines, including pipe bending machine, sheet metal bending machine, sheet folding machine, hydraulic bending machine, mechanical bending machine, electric servo bending machine, electric pipe bending machine, and cutting and punching machine, among others.
1. Pipe bending machine
Pipe bender is a machine that is used for bending metal pipes and profiles into various shapes. The profiles are usually square or rectangular in shape and are made of thick metal. Bending is a stretching process that generates friction between the pipes and the bending tools.
2. Metal Sheet Bending Machine
A sheet metal bending machine is suitable for shaping sheet metal into specific profiles. The metal sheet is positioned on the lower die of the workbench and then pressed by punches to complete the bending process.
3. Plate Rolling Machine
A pyramid-type mechanical plate bending machine is utilized for bending and forming metal plates. The bottom roller is powered by a motor and gear and can rotate. The upper roller's required bending radius can be adjusted manually up and down.
4. Press Brake
Press brake is a type of bending machine that is used for metal forming andbending a sheet metal plate. There are various types of press brakes that are powered by different systems. The press brake has at least three shafts on the rear gauge, which allows for control over the accuracy, speed, and stroke of the machine. It is equipped with a CNC controller for precise bending. Thus, the machine can make the metal to the desired angle, which is easy to operate, and can process workpieces in bulk.
