A Flexible Bending Machine, also known as an Intelligent Panel Bender or Automatic Panel Bending Center, is a CNC-controlled sheet metal forming system designed to perform multiple bending operations automatically without frequent manual tool changes. Unlike conventional press brakes, it uses universal bending tools and servo-driven mechanisms to complete positive, negative, flattening, and arc bending in one continuous process.
Typical processing specifications include:
| Item | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Material Thickness | 0.35–3.2 mm |
| Max Bending Length | 2500–4000 mm |
| Position Accuracy | ±0.03 mm |
| Repeatability | ±0.02 mm |
| Servo Motors | 8–16 Axis |
The technology significantly improves productivity while reducing labor requirements, making it ideal for electrical cabinets, elevator panels, stainless steel furniture, HVAC ducts, kitchen equipment, and precision enclosures.
