CNC Sheet Metal Bending
Our bending department is engineered for maximum precision, repeatability and consistent quality, on both custom parts and series production. Advanced control systems deliver accurate results from the very first bend, cutting lead times and error margins.
Key strengths
- Usable length up to 3230 mm for large components
- Bending force up to 170 t across a wide range of materials and thicknesses
- Maximum stroke up to 445 mm for deep bends and special tooling
- Multi-axis CNC back gauge for precise, fast positioning
- Active ACB Laser angle control: part conformity on the first stroke
Why choose FDM
We coordinate this process within a complete production cycle: that means fewer suppliers, faster lead times and quality controlled at every stage, from prototype to series.
Frequently asked questions
What accuracy do you achieve when bending?
The active angle control system with ACB Laser technology automatically measures and corrects the angle during bending, ensuring part conformity on the very first stroke and keeping tolerances consistent even across repeat production.
What are the maximum bending length and force?
The usable bending length reaches up to 3230 mm, allowing large components to be processed, while the bending force of up to 170 tonnes ensures high performance across a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
Can you bend complex geometries and deep bends?
Yes, the maximum stroke of up to 445 mm offers great flexibility on complex parts, including deep bends or special tooling, and the high-speed multi-axis CNC back gauge ensures extremely precise, fast positioning.
What are the working speeds?
Speeds are optimised to maximise productivity: approach speed up to 200 mm/s and working speed from 1 to 10 mm/s, improving efficiency and repeatability on every batch.
Do you coordinate bending with cutting and punching?
Yes, we integrate bending into the cycle with laser cutting and punching to deliver ready components.
