Aluminum profiles come in various sizes and specifications, and their bending capability depends on several factors (bending method, equipment, and bending radius). For example, extrusions with wall thicknesses from 2 to 15 mm can be bent, with bending radii as small as 300 mm. These are all possible.
When handling larger profiles, using the right machinery is crucial. This machinery carefully applies controlled force during the bending process to maintain the profile’s structural integrity.
The most common aluminum extrusion bending processes are roll bending, stretch bending, and mandrel bending. The method you choose should depend on the type of profile you’ve designed, its application, and production quantity.
