A folding metal machine is specialized sheet metal equipment used for bending and forming metal plates into precise angles and shapes. Unlike traditional press brakes, sheet metal folding machines use folding knives and CNC control systems to bend metal without leaving scratches, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
An automatic sheet metal folding machine greatly improves efficiency by reducing manual handling, offering fast setup, and ensuring consistent bending angles. It minimizes labor costs, increases productivity, and is especially suitable for both small-batch customized sheet metal production and large-scale manufacturing.
Our CNC sheet metal folding machines can process a wide range of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, cold-rolled steel, and galvanized steel.
