Sheet Metal Edge Forming

Sheet metal edge shapers make different edge styles on your sheet metal with these forming tools.

Sheet metal edge forming.

In curling the initial edge is rolled into the formed circle whereas in the tear shaped hem the initial edge is still exposed. Curling is the process of forming a circular ring at the edge of the metal sheet to make it safer for handling. We look forward to discussing your sheet metal needs. The curled edge provides strength to the edge and makes it safe for handling.

They come with rollers for turning wiring burring beading and crimping. Hemming is a technique to join parts together improve the appearance or increase the strength and reinforce the edge of the part. Cleaveland tool s edge forming tool how to adjust and use the edge rolling tool. There is a difference between a curled edge and a tear shaped hem.

For over a decade we have supported our customers with specialized precision production sheet metal parts and assemblies prototype to production. Curling is different than a tear drop hem because in a curl the edge finishes inside itself where a hem leaves the initial edge exposed. Sheet metal edge shapers make different edge styles on your sheet metal with these forming tools. The edges of the sheet metal are folded over itself or folded over another piece of sheet metal in this forming operation to achieve a tight fit or a stronger rounded edge.

Extruded hole to part edge b 3t d 2. Sheet metal bending methods design tips k factor bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Therefore the minimum distance between the extruded hole to edge if maintained. Center of extruded holes a 5 hole dia 2t extruded hole and bend edge c 3t r d 2.

This is done through the application of force on a workpiece. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. We are an iso 9001 certified sheet metal facility and can ensure your product is fabricated to your specifications. Extruded holes very close to the part edge can lead to sheet metal deformation or tearing.
