U Channel Forming Machine FAQs

Will there be springback or deformation when forming thicker U-channels?

The machine design includes gradual bending transitions and a leveling module to minimize residual stress and maintain profile accuracy.

Is it complicated to switch between different U-channel sizes?

The machine is equipped with fast-change tooling and recipe memory, allowing typical size changes in under 10 minutes.

Can punching be integrated into the production line?

Yes, multiple punching solutions are available, including single-head, multi-head, and servo-tracking punching units.
