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 of tooling required. SweBend builds dedicated machines for both methods, as well as machines that combine capabilities.

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 machines are available with the SEVEN CNC control system.
