This is the most common method of sheet bending, as it is used for most bending projects. It uses a tool called a punch and a V-die to bend the plate at the desired Angle. In this process, the bending punch is stamped on a metal plate placed above the V-shaped die. The sheet metal forming Angle depends on the punch pressure point. This makes the method simple and effective, as it can be used to bend steel plates without changing their position.Roll bending is a method used to bend a sheet of metal into a roll or curved shape. The process uses a hydraulic press, a bending machine and three sets of rollers to create different bends or large bends. It can be used to form conical, tubular and hollow shapes because it uses the distance between rollers to create bends and curves.This bending method has an advantage over wipe bending or V-bending because it does not cause scratching of the material surface. It is also ideal because it can bend the material into sharp angles. For example, it is used to bend angles greater than 90.
Wipe bending is another method used to bend metal edge plates. The process depends on wiping the mold. For example, the metal plate must be pushed correctly onto the wipe mold. The wiper is also responsible for determining the inner bending radius of the sheet metal.A U-bend is similar to a V-bend. It uses the same instrument (except for u-shaped molds) and process, but the only difference is that the shape formed is U-shaped. U-bend is very popular. However, other methods have the flexibility to generate shapes.
