At Depósitos Villarrobledo we carry out a process that offers the most effective and fastest solution to obtain the most appropriate folding based on the client’s needs with a 4-meter, 260-ton folder.
What is Numerical Control Folding?
CNC folding is a technique that allows us to fold metal sheets, being able to repeat work with precision and reducing possible errors. Since our technologies allow us to visualize, before the production of the product, the final result thanks to the use of 3D CAD.
With this preview and forecast of what the final result will be like, we manage to reduce costs and advance the production procedure, since it is not necessary to carry out a testing phase. Therefore, we manage to reduce the investment necessary in the manufacturing of the part, offering a final product that meets all guarantees and requirements.
Performing CNC folding involves exerting pressure on the flat metal sheet, which results in different angles at which we can fold.
It must be kept in mind that depending on the angle required for folding, it is necessary to exert more or less pressure. And it is depending on this that the sheet may or may not suffer wear, as well as stresses that act on the interior and exterior face of the folded sheet. The pressure exerted will permanently deform the outer part of the sheet, while the inner part will return to its initial shape.
The result is incredible
Through CNC folding we can offer different results depending on the needs of each client, therefore, we can perform:
- Deep fold: This is a very common procedure but the elastic return of the material must be taken into account. For this reason there are different tools with similar angles.
- Partial folding: This name is related to the fact that the sheet is in contact with three points during the bending process. Although it is necessary to know exactly the thickness of the sheet to be folded to take into account the force that the upper board can withstand.
We put our technology and knowledge at the service of our clients with a folder.
