CNC Panel Bender
Built for productivity: 0.5s per bend, 2500 mm capacity, 14-axis intelligent control, and effortless 360° sheet metal forming.
- Eliminate Tool Changes and Downtime: Traditional bending requires frequent tooling changes and manual setup. The panel bender uses automatic blankholding and adaptive tool length, enabling continuous production without re-tooling.
- Servo-Controlled Precision for Consistent Quality: Servo system ensures accurate motion control and stable bending performance.
- Handle Complex Parts with High Flexibility: Complex multi-side bending is difficult with conventional machines. The coordinated blade system enables efficient forming of complex geometries in one setup.
CNC Panel Bender's Product Overview
The CNC Panel Bender is a highly automated sheet metal forming machine designed for panel bending and edge forming.It adopts a servo control system for high-precision and high-efficiency continuous bending.It is ideal for mass production and complex part forming, serving as an efficient alternative to traditional press brakes.
How CNC Panel Bender works?
Bending is performed by the coordinated movement of upper and lower blades, controlled by the CNC system. The automatic blankholder works simultaneously to clamp and position the sheet accurately during the bending cycle.The counterblade supports clamping during the process, ensuring stable bending. The system automatically adapts the clamping length according to part size, without downtime or manual re-tooling,enabling complex part geometries.

CNC Panel Bender's Role in the Production Line
The CNC Panel Bender is used for automated bending and forming of sheet metal parts.
After laser cutting, sheet metal parts are transferred to the panel bender for forming.
Compared with traditional press brakes, it reduces manual operation and improves automation efficiency.
After bending, parts proceed to punching or assembly processes.
