Metal Bending - Up to 21 Feet Wide Brake Forming

Metal bending is the process of deforming sheet metal to various angles. Sheet metal is forced by a press brake between an upper and lower tool. The punch is the upper component and the die is the lower tool. The press brake is what manipulates the punch and die to apply a bending force which is what bends the part.

Below are just a few samples of the incredible diversity and complexity of bending we offer. From parts that are so small that they can fit in the palm of your hand to parts that are 20-feet long and have extremely high tonnage.

Metal bending with 20 foot wide CNC machine

Deep trough parts requiring a special custom made gooseneck over 17 feet long which is something very few fabrication shops are able to do.
An amazingly complex 21 bend part with non-parallel bends. The employee is doing a final check of the part prior to shipping 200 units to a customer.
Employee checking fit-up of 2 different cone sections rolled for an oven used in the steel mills.
Impressive weldment showing complex heavy metal assembly, not requiring any stress relieving prior to taking into use, and ready to ship to an OEM client.
Tiny 15 bend part that fits in the palm of your hand. This is an excellent example of the complexity of tiny parts made at VeriForm.
VeriForm uses proprietary bending software to check that your parts fit the machine used for bending. We even check for collisions; this helps us to choose the correct tooling from over $1 million worth of stock brake press tooling that we have on hand to bend almost anything your engineers can design.
Titanium part, with not only folded bends, but also multiple radii and complex geometry. This shows the variety of bending possible at VeriForm.
This part shows step form-roll bending and regular bending being combined to create a half a clamp for communication towers.
VeriForm employee bends a part with over 30 bends in it.
