The application of bending machines in this field is mainly reflected in the production of aircraft fuselage structural parts, engine components, wing brackets, etc. Aerospace materials are usually high-strength alloys, such as titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, etc. These materials require extremely high pressure and precise control during processing. Through its powerful pressure system and precise CNC technology, the bending machine can ensure that these high-strength materials maintain their mechanical properties during the bending process, while meeting the high-precision requirements of parts in the aerospace industry.

3. Construction Industry

In the construction industry, bending machines are mainly used to produce steel structures, curtain wall frames, stair handrails, railings, etc. Metal materials used in construction are usually steel plates, steel sections, etc. These materials need to be bent before they can be used in building structures. Bending machines can achieve precise bending of these materials through different molds and process parameters to ensure the stability and aesthetics of the building structure. In addition, bending machines can also be used to produce building decorations, such as metal doors and windows, decorative lines, etc. These parts usually require complex bending shapes, and bending machines can efficiently complete these processing tasks.

4. Home appliance manufacturing

In the home appliance manufacturing industry, bending machines are mainly used to produce the housings, brackets, internal structural parts, etc. of home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. The housings of home appliances are usually made of metal sheets, and the appearance shape can only be formed after multiple bending processes. The bending machine can ensure that the housing of home appliances maintains its appearance quality and dimensional accuracy during the bending process through its efficient processing capabilities and precise control system. In addition, the bending machine can also be used to produce metal brackets and structural parts inside home appliances. These parts usually require complex bending shapes, and the bending machine can efficiently complete these processing tasks.

5. Electronics Industry

In the electronics industry, bending machines are mainly used to produce electronic equipment housings, heat sinks, brackets, etc. The housings of electronic equipment are usually made of thin metal sheets, which need to be bent multiple times to form their appearance. The bending machine can ensure that the electronic equipment housing maintains its appearance quality and dimensional accuracy during the bending process through its efficient processing capabilities and precise control system. In addition, the bending machine can also be used to produce metal brackets and heat sinks inside electronic equipment. These parts usually require complex bending shapes, and the bending machine can efficiently complete these processing tasks.

6. Metal furniture manufacturing

In the metal furniture manufacturing industry, bending machines are mainly used to produce metal frames for furniture such as tables, chairs, bookcases, and bed frames. The frames of metal furniture are usually made of metal pipes or plates, and need to be bent multiple times to form a structural shape. With its efficient processing capabilities and precise control system, the bending machine can ensure that the metal furniture frame maintains its structural stability and aesthetics during the bending process. In addition, the bending machine can also be used to produce decorative parts of metal furniture, such as armrests, backrests, etc. These parts usually require complex bending shapes, and the bending machine can efficiently complete these processing tasks.
