Shearing – (Sheet Metal Cutting)
Shearing is a metal fabricating process used to cut straight lines on flat metal stock. During the shearing process, an upper blade and a lower blade are forced past each other with the space between them determined by a required offset. Normally, one of the blades remains stationary. Characteristics of the shearing process include: Its ability to make straight-line cuts on flat sheet stock Metal placement between an upper and lower … Read More...
Braking and Bending – (Sheet Metal Forming)
Brake forming is one of the oldest mechanical metal deformation process. During the process, a piece of sheet metal is formed along a straight axis. This may be accomplished by a "V"- shaped, "U"-shaped, or channel-shaped punch and die set. Although press braking appears a simple concept, maintaining accuracy can often be quite difficult. Precision bending is a function of both the press, the tooling, and the work-piece material. Material … Read More...
