At R&G Metal Shaping, we have always been committed to innovation and the search for solutions that improve our metal bending processes. For this reason, in recent years we have bet on a technological advance that has revolutionized the metal bending industry: the implementation of CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) systems.
Working process with the CNC bending machine:
- Design and programming: We start by analyzing the customer's specifications and the design required for the part to be bent. Using software Our experts translate these requirements into a specific bending program for the CNC machine.
- Preparation of the material: We measure and cut the material according to the required dimensions, making sure it is clean and free of impurities that may affect the bending.
- Machine configuration: We adjust the parameters such as bending tool length, bending pressure and bending speed according to the material characteristics and the specific design.
- Placement of sheet metal: We carefully place the sheet metal in the machine, making sure that it is well positioned and fastened to avoid unwanted movements during the bending process.
- Execution of the bending program: We initiate the bending program on the CNC machine. This automated technology guides the bending arm to perform the precise movements and programmed bends. The machine bends the sheet metal according to the coordinates and angles set in the program, ensuring exact reproduction of the desired design.
- Inspection and quality control: Once the bending process of each part is completed to verify its quality and accuracy. We ensure that the angles and dimensions meet the required specifications before moving on to the next stage of the manufacturing process.
This process of working with the CNC bending machine allows us to achieve consistent, accurate and efficient results on every project. We are committed to taking full advantage of the capabilities of this state-of-the-art technology. This allows us to be able to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of our customers in the field of metal bending. In addition, this process allows us to ensure maximum precision, efficiency and versatility in our bending operations.
Advantages of the CNC for metal bending
The implementation of CNC in metal bending has allowed us to achieve unmatched levels of accuracy. With advanced CNC systems, we can program the exact coordinates and angles of the bends. This ensures accurate and repeatable reproduction of desired shapes on every part. This is especially beneficial for projects that require high precision and consistency on every component. We have proven our bending accuracy in the "Precision Sheet Metal Technology Fair". where we present a bench structure We received an award for our 3 mm thick stainless steel (316), with dimensions W300 x D300 x H530 mm and received an award.
Metal bending using CNC has expanded our capabilities and given us greater versatility in production. The CNC systems allow us to bend in different directions, angles and radii, giving us the ability to create a wide range of custom shapes and designs. In addition, programming bending operations is quick and easy, giving us the flexibility to adapt to our customers' changing requirements.
The implementation of CNC systems has significantly improved our metal bending efficiency. Automating operations reduces manual intervention and minimizes the possibility of human error. In addition, the CNC systems are able to perform tool changes and bending setups quickly and accurately, which speeds up production times and reduces downtime.
Metal bending using CNC has also enabled better optimization of material utilization. CNC systems are able to accurately calculate required material quantities and bending positions, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency in sheet metal utilization. This not only reduces production costs, but also contributes to more sustainable and environmentally conscious management.
The implementation of CNC systems in metal bending has been a key step in the evolution of our industry. At R&G Metal Shaping, we have embraced this cutting-edge technology to offer our customers the best possible results: unmatched accuracy, design versatility, increased efficiency and optimized material usage. We are committed to continuing to explore new ways to improve our processes and remain at the forefront of the metal forming industry.
