At first glance, a C-channel doesn’t look complicated. It’s just a simple open profile—two flanges and a web. But once bending begins, the behavior quickly becomes unpredictable. The flanges tend to wrinkle, the web can buckle, and the entire section… Read More »C Channel Bending Machine: How to Bend C Channel with PBC Series Profile Bending Machine
Stretch forming has become one of the most reliable methods for shaping aluminum and other ductile metals into smooth, high-quality curves. Whether you’re forming aerospace skins, automotive body panels, or architectural components, stretch forming offers accuracy, cleaner surfaces, and less… Read More »Stretch Forming: Applications, Advantages, and Key Limitations

Armed with a thorough understanding of bend allowance principles, you’re well-equipped to tackle complex bending challenges with confidence and expertise.
To determine if a steel section can be curved you need to first determine its section modulus and then see if you have the correct bending equipment. Section modulus VS elastic section modulus Section modulus is the direct measure of… Read More »How is section modulus used in section bending processes?
Beams and wide flange are both bent by BIT series section bending machine, from the very small sizes to the very large sizes. Its ability to bend wide flange and I-beam the easy way (against the weak axis) and the hard way (against the strong axis).
