- How Can You Become an Aluminum Bending Master in Just 6 Hours?
Only 6 hours, novice to aluminum curve master!
PBA-CNC Aluminum Bending Machine: smart, user-friendly, and efficient, consistent repeat precision and minimal reject rates, it delivers reliable performance for individual parts or high-volume series.
Powered by quiet, clean, and powerful servo motors, the X-axis and Y-axises of PBA aluminium bending machine, and with precise CNC
control ensures smooth transitions between radii and straight sections, and ensure precise radii and repeatability. - What information should I prepare before inquiry an aluminum bending machine?
Before inquiring about an aluminum bending machine, it’s essential to gather pertinent information to ensure we recommend an informed decision aligning with your specific bending requirements.
Aluminum Alloys: Note the specific aluminum alloys you’ll be bending (e.g., 6061-T6). The hardness state of aluminum is important.
Drawings: Drawings of aluminum extrusions and bending process drawings. - Which aluminum profiles can be bent?
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.If you have aluminum bending requirements, you can consult the BIT aluminum bending team. With over 20 years of experience, we can help you achieve the perfect aluminum bend.
- What Alloys Are Best for Aluminium Bending?
In the industry, several commonly used aluminum alloys are ideal for bending due to their properties:
- 6063: Known for its superb formability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for architectural applications.
- 5052: Offers high strength and good formability, commonly used in marine and automotive industries.
- 6061: Versatile with strong mechanical properties, suitable for structural applications when bent with the right techniques.
- 3003: Good for general-purpose bending, with decent formability and corrosion resistance, though not as strong as other alloys.
- 5083: Exceptional strength makes it ideal for marine use, though it requires specialized equipment for bending.
- Do the moving or rotating parts of the PBA machine need lubrication and what lubricant should be used?
The lead screw that moves back and forth needs to be lubricated, and the rotating ones are not used.
Just use a mixture of gear oil and butter.
