What is the difference between section bending and plate rolling

Section bending shapes structural profiles (beams, angles, channels, tubes) by passing them through driven rolls that apply force along the profile's cross-section. Plate rolling bends flat metal plates by feeding them between large-diameter rolls that apply a distributed bending force across the plate width. The machines differ in roll configuration, force distribution, and the type

Can a bending machine be retrofitted with CNC control?

- Yes. SweBend's SEVEN CNC control system can be installed on most existing bending machines - both SweBend machines and machines from other manufacturers. The upgrade includes the control unit, sensors, and operator training. Most retrofits are completed within three days (including on-site training). The CNC system provides program storage, repeatable positioning, and a graphical

How do I choose the right bending machine for my production?

The right machine generally depends on four factors: what material you are bending (sections, plates, or tubes), the thickness and dimensions of the material, the required output geometry (curves, cylinders, cones, or custom shapes) and the production volume. SweBend's technical team evaluates your production requirements - including material type, batch size, and precision tolerances -

What types of bending machines does SweBend manufacture?

SweBend manufactures section bending machines, plate bending machines (plate rolls), and custom forming machines. Section bending machines handle beams, profiles, angles, and tubes. Plate rolls bend flat metal plates into cylinders, cones, and curved shapes. Custom forming machines are designed and built for specific materials, geometries, or production requirements that standard configurations cannot meet. All

We want to roll a special material with a customized shape, is it possible?

–Yes, With our standard range of models as a foundation, we design and produce custom-built and adapted plate rolls for specific customer needs. This can mean producing a machine with a unique roll diameter, special roll length or even a customized shape of the rolls. Request help with integrating the machine in your product line,

Can you really eliminate flat ends?

–Through Swedish engineering SweBend has proven to be THE best at virtually eliminating flat ends. Our machines produce high enough forces from the bending rolls to reduce the flat ends to a bare minimum. No matter what anyone tells you, in the end, reducing the length of flat ends comes down to raw bending force,
