Forming

Press Brake Forming Services

CNC press brake forming up to 200 tons / 4 m bend length. ±0.5° bend angle, ±0.1 mm bend position. Hemming, offsets, and Z-bends in-house.

Press Brake Forming — Nevatronix Sheet Metal

Press brake forming is the central operation in most sheet metal assemblies. Every chassis, enclosure, and bracket spends time in front of one of our brakes, and many arrive already carrying the louvers, embosses, or hole patterns cut by our CNC metal punching services. The cell is sized for both prototype responsiveness (rapid program changes, single-piece runs) and production throughput (overnight unattended bending on locked-in jobs).

What we run

Our brake lineup spans 50 to 200 tons with up to 4 m bend length, with crowning compensation for consistent angle across the full length. We air-bend to the material’s natural radius by default; per-material minimums, in mm and inches, are on the sheet metal bend radius chart.

Quality system

Bend angle is verified on first article and at intervals throughout the run. CMM verification of finished assemblies is available on parts requiring tight stack tolerances. Most parts ship with a brake-cell inspection sign-off attached to the PPAP packet.

Where we serve: quoting and shipping from Las Vegas, NV, Henderson, NV, and Phoenix, AZ — plus nationwide shipping.

Frequently asked questions

What's the maximum sheet thickness you can bend?
10 mm aluminum or 8 mm mild steel at 4 m length on our 200-ton brake. Thicker sections at shorter lengths are possible on a case-by-case basis — confirm with engineering before quoting.
How tight a bend radius can you produce?
We work to the material's air-bend radius by default — typically the punch tip radius. For tight inside radii, hard tooling or rolling pre-form is available. We do not recommend bending tighter than the material's minimum bend radius without warming or annealing.
Do you do hemming and offset bends in-house?
Yes. Hem tooling, gooseneck punches for return flanges, and special offset/Z-bend tooling are all in-house. The press brake cell handles them in the same setup as the primary bends when geometry allows.
How do you ensure consistent bend angle across a production run?
All brakes are CNC with angle measurement at the back gauge. We run a first-article confirmation bend, lock the program, and sample-inspect every 25–50 pieces depending on lot size. Springback compensation is built into the program from the material certification.
Can you bend pre-painted or coated sheet without damaging the finish?
Yes. Protective film handling and urethane-faced bottom dies preserve the cosmetic face. We accept supplied film or apply our own when geometry permits.
