Machine Technology
Mechanical structure, drive systems, CNC control and positioning work together to support reliable sheet metal bending.tum sed varius at, adipiscings vitae est. Sed nec felis pellentesque, lacinia dui sed, ultricies sapien.
How the machine works?
01/Machine Technology
Every system has a role in the bending process, from positioning the sheet to forming the finished part.
- Structure — Supports the machine during operation.
- Control— Coordinates programmed machine movements.
- Forming-Punch and die shape the sheet metal
A Stable Structure for Bending
02/Mechanical Structure
The machine frame supports bending loads. The upper ram moves the punch, while the lower bed supports the die and workpiece.
- Frame — Supports the machine during bending operations.
- Upper Ram-Moves the upper punch to form the sheet metal.
- Lower Bed + Worktable-Supports the lower die and workpiece during bending.

Turning Bending Requirements into Machine Actions
03/CNC control system
- Programming - Enter bending requirements and define the bending sequence.
- Motion control -Coordinate configured axes and machine movements.
- Progress Support - Support bending sequence planning and machine operation.
Positioning the Sheet for Each Bend
04/Backgauge & Positioning
- Servo Drive -Drives the configured positioning axes.
- Linear Guides - Guide the movement of the backgauge assembly.
- Backgauge Fingers - Provide contact points for sheet positioning.

Supporting Consistent Bending Along the Length
06/Bending Compensation
Compensation helps address deflection under bending load and supports more consistent results along the workpiece.
How it works?
- 01 / Bend Load - Bending force acts on the machine structure and tooling.
- 02/Deflection - The structure and tooling may flex under load.
- 03/ Compensation - The configured system helps counteract the effect of deflection.
Available compensation methods depend on the machine configuration.
Without Compensation
Deflection may cause variations in the bend angle along the workpiece.
With Compensation
The compensation system adjusts the working profile to help achieve a more consistent bend.
The Objective
More consistent bending results across the working length through appropriate compensation and machine configuration.
Safety Integrated into Machine Operation
07/Safety Preoteciton
Safety devices help reduce operational risks when correctly installed and used according to their instructions.
Safety Standard
- 01 -Laser Safety Protection
- 02 - Side + Rear guarding
- 03 - Door interlocks, where equipped
- 04 - Emergency stop controls
Control, Measure and Verify
Feedback and quality check
Position feedback helps the configured control system monitor machine movement. Inspection of the finished workpiece helps verify the bending result.
Automatic bend-angle measurement and correction are available only when supported by the selected configuration.
One Machine. Connected Technologies.
Mechanical structure, drive systems, CNC control, positioning and inspection work together to support the bending process.
The right configuration depends on the workpiece, material, thickness, bending length and production requirements.
