Compare bending machine and roll forming machine
Comparison of Bending Machines and Roll Forming Machines Working Principle - Bending Machine: Uses localized force (e.g., press brake with punch and die) to create bends at specific points. Can achieve sharp angles and simple curves. - Roll Forming Machine: Passes metal through successive roller dies to incrementally shape it into a continuous profile. Ideal for complex cross-sections with gradual curves. 2. Applications - Bending: Single or few bends (e.g., brackets, enclosures, panels). - Roll Forming: Long, continuous profiles (e.g., gutters, roofing, structural components). 3. Material Considerations: - Bending: Handles thicker materials (e.g., steel plates) and various alloys. Suitable for pre-coated metals. - Roll Forming: Better for thinner materials; efficient with coils. Works well with pre-painted or coated metals. 4. Production Volume & Speed: - Bending: Lower to medium volume...
