Advantages of Precision Press Brake Forming

You’ll benefit in numerous ways from our press brake forming services, experiencing the following:

Reliable precision.
Our equipment can achieve tight tolerances, delivering components per your exact specifications every time.
Affordability.
With inexpensive tooling and decreased material waste, precision press brake forming can be a cost-effective option for your business.
Scalability.
Press brake forming is compatible with everything from prototyping to high-volume manufacturing, allowing us to scale our operations based on your needs.
Automation and speed.
Incorporating automation into our press brake forming processes adds a high level of accuracy and speed to our operations, boosting productivity and shortening lead times compared to manual processes.
Versatility.
In comparison with progressive dies, the multi-station tooling involved in press brake forming can achieve more complex part configurations. We can make adjustments based on your required part thickness, dimensions, angles, and more.

Understanding the Different Types of Press Brake Forming Options

Depending on your requirements, we’ll use the optimal press brake forming method for your project. We offer:

Channel and U-bend forming.
An ideal solution for enclosures or structural applications, the G.E. Mathis Company team uses this technique to form highly accurate channels and U-shaped components with reliable angle and leg length consistency.
Coining and air bending.
For optimal project versatility, we utilize coining to generate sharp, tight-tolerance bends whereas we’ll use air bending for broader applications for which softer radius bends are preferable.
Bottom bending and radius forming.
By reproducing punch radii, our forming equipment is capable of creating reliably repeatable bends through bottom bending. Whatever your design specifications, we can form the necessary radius bends for your project.
Hemming.
By folding the edges of a metal sheet over, we can enhance the strength of your component while achieving a smooth finish for a pleasing, polished aesthetic.
Angular bends and multi-axis forming.
We can generate complex bends and angles as well as unique part configurations with precision using angular bends and multi-axis forming.
