Good bends come from good control. Control begins where the machine grips or drives the profile. In rotary draw and stretch forming, that happens at the clamp and tooling. In section and roll bending, driven pinch rolls provide the grip and feed.

Modern bending machines rely on electronic systems to function properly. These include servos, sensors, control units, and PLCs. When exposed to dirty air or coolant mist, these sensitive components can fail gradually or suddenly. Either way, it leads to errors,...

Even with the correct alloy, radius, and tooling, bending inevitably changes the shape of an aluminum profile. Corners flatten, outer walls stretch, inner walls compress, and once-round sections start to become oval. These distortions affect stiffness, aesthetics, and...

Aluminum bending is becoming more precise and demanding. To keep up, manufacturers are using digital twins, which are real-time virtual models that match their machines and production lines. These systems let teams simulate bends, track machine behavior, and catch...
