Introduction
Bend machined parts are in high demand across multiple industries due to the versatility of material options, various bend diameters and radius options, as well as a variety of finish options. With CNC machining, bend machining works seamlessly in order to provide our customers with parts that are customized and made precisely according to their requirements. Bend machining is not simply limited to regular bends, v-bends, and u-bends, but can also include complex multi-bend machined parts.
What are Bend Machined Parts?
Bend machined parts are metal or plastic parts produced in different shapes and sizes with bends as necessary. They are typically machined to tight tolerance requirements, with size options ranging from 2-10 mm (0.078-0.394”) in diameter, and radius options ranging from 1-30 mm (0.039”-1.18”). In terms of finish, many options are available, such as satin, brushed, or electro-polished, depending on the particular requirements of each part.
What Types of Bend Machining Are There?
There are different types of bend machining, depending on the particular needs of the product. All bend machining processes begin with the material being bent along an established radius or curvature.
Regular bends, also known as single-bend machining, is used for machining parts with uniform bends along the entire length of a material. Internal bend machining is used for machining parts with inner bends along the entire length. V-bend machining is used for machining parts with V-shaped bends on the external surface. U-bend machining is used for machining parts with U-shaped bends along the length.
Multi-bend machining is used when a single bend is not enough to create the desired part profile. This type of machining process is used to create complex shapes by combining multiple bends and angles in one part. This type of process is typically done with CNC machines in order to ensure precise and accurate control over the bend angles and radii.
Why Choose Bend Machining?
There are a number of advantages to choosing bend machining for your precision parts. First, it is a cost-effective option for creating customized parts at various sizes and shapes. Bend machining is also precise and accurate, allowing for tight tolerances and exact radii controls. Additionally, bend machining is more efficient than other machining processes, allowing for fast turnaround times. Finally, it is versatile, as it can be used to create complex shapes and size requirements.
Conclusion
Bend machining is a versatile and precise machining process that can be used to create parts in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes. With CNC machining, complex parts can be machined quickly and accurately to tight tolerances. Bend machining is an efficient and cost-effective solution for creating precision parts.
