Corner Forming Sheet Metal

The new tooling design allow to form corners in any flange height in connection with any material thickness up to 5 mm.

Corner forming sheet metal. Bending sheet metal by hand is a manageable task if the piece of sheet metal is small and thin enough to handle. Edgemaster products feature an extremely unique process to form corners. 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. The part does not need to be transported to the welding department and then again to the grinding department.

Similar to tucking the corners of a bedsheet these benders twist and wrap the metal into triangle shaped folds to form corners. The flexible corner former for panel and door fabrication allows you to create high quality corners up to 10x faster than welding which reduces cost. Economy sheet metal benders make bends up to 90 in metal sheets. No welding no grinding no finishing.

The sheets for doors and tops of metal junction boxes can be very large. This technique eliminates all welding and very often also finishing as a secondary process. For example we can create a pan shaped part from a solid rectangle metal sheet in one process. In this video lazze demonstrates his metal shaping techniques to create a cab corner using his shrinker and english wheel.

In addition corner forming eliminates the need for stacking to weld and restacking to grind. Quick video about bend radius watch more tech tip videos bend radii minimum bend sizes. It is most economical to use a single bend radius throughout the design but if necessary you can utilize multiple radii. Video describes the basic function and process of corner forming for sheetmetal pans.

A new flexible state of the art technology known as. Operators move the part once to the corner former. Most frequently expensive sheet metal bending tools called brakes are used to bend sheet metal but you can also complete this task without one. Flange heights up to 15 x material thickness can be formed.

The corner forming radius can be. Bend radii minimum bend sizes. Flexible corner forming gives new opportunities in sheet metal production of panels or doors.
