What is a Panel Bender?

The Panel Bender is a highly automated machine for bending and forming sheet metal. It is similar to a press brake, but offers more versatility and efficiency. These machines have been around for more than 40 years and offer several advantages over traditional press brake machines, including labor savings, speed, good repeatability and consistency, and the ability to position the sheet for bending on all four sides in one pass.

Equipped with a highly intelligent operator control system, the Panel Bender can efficiently bend different workpieces, making it ideal for companies looking to automate and improve their production processes. Despite the high one-time investment cost, the efficiency and intelligence of the Panel Bender machine make it a revolutionary alternative to traditional press bending machines.

In conclusion, the Panel Bender is an effective metal deformation machine that quickly completes complex parts that require precise radius formation, folds or curves. It works with virtually no tool changes, making it a versatile and efficient option for sheet metal forming.

Types of Panel Bender

There are several types of Panel Bender, each designed to meet the specific needs of the sheet metal forming industry. Here are some examples:

1000 x series Panel Bender: with molding lengths up to 1000 mm, it is particularly cost-effective for the production of small parts.

1400 x series Panel Bender: with a forming length of up to 1400 mm.

2000P series Panel Bender: Molding lengths up to 2000 mm.

2500P series Panel Bender: forming lengths up to 2500 mm.

Each type of panel bender has a unique structure and features, but they all have some common characteristics. They use universal, adjustable tools with upper and lower bending knives, eliminating the need for a large number of bending tools depending on the shape and size of the workpiece.

The choice of Panel Bender depends on the specific requirements of your production process. Our experts can provide you with a customized Panel Bender for your specific industry.

Panel Benders vs Press Brakes

Press Brakes and Panel Benders are both used in the metalworking industry to bend sheet metal, but they have different mechanisms and are suitable for different applications.
