Automated Panel Bending – Advantages of CNC Sheet Metal Forming
Factory automation is the key to offering precision, consistency, and cost-effectiveness in the modern field of industrial sheet metal fabrication. Compared to conventional / manual metal forming operations, the repeatability of CNC sheet metal forming services can provide higher quality products at higher volumes with quicker turnaround times.
As one of the leading sheet metal fabrication service providers throughout the Upper Midwest region and beyond, J&E utilizes one of the industry’s most capable automated panel bending systems to deliver superior metal formed solutions.
THE ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATED PANEL BENDING SERVICES
Automated bending operations combined with universal tooling means there is virtually no set-up time. This improves project turnaround time and reduces labor requirements.
There is no need for re-tooling between jobs, further increasing efficiency while minimizing labor costs.
Higher precision, accuracy, and repeatability – especially for complex, close-tolerance components and/or high-volume contract manufacturing projects.
You can rely on consistent results regardless of part size or complexity. Suitable for both small complex workpieces and large industrial panels.
J&E’S PRECISION CNC SHEET METAL FORMING SERVICES
J&E Companies’ state-of-the-art facilities encompass over 450,000 sq. ft and can efficiently accommodate virtually any industrial sheet metal fabrication requirements – from low-volume to high-volume contract manufacturing projects. We utilize one of the industry’s latest automated panel bending systems to deliver the highest quality and most cost effective CNC sheet metal forming services possible.
Our facilities are capable of working with a wide range of sheet metal material gauges sizes – from 26 GA to .5”. We can process a maximum panel size of 60.0” width by 144.0″ length, giving you the design freedom you require for your custom industrial sheet metal components and assemblies.
Our Automated Panel Bending System
At J&E, we utilize the cutting-edge Salvagnini P2lean automated panel bender system. We have found this technology to offer the increased productivity and tooling flexibility that many of our clients’ custom sheet metal fabrication projects require. Some standout features of the P2lean system include automatic panel bending and handling cycles, as well as the system’s universal bending tool compatibility.
Controlled by Salvagnini’s full-featured MAC2.0 software system, J&E’s CNC panel bending machine automatically adapts to changes in material thickness as bends are performed. This ensures precise bends with close tolerances as well as an extremely high degree repeatability from one product to the next.
