How to Bend an Offset in Sheet Metal?

What are offset bends? An offset bend is two equal bends in opposite directions. It is used to are used to form multiple bends on sheet metal at the same time. and to create a flat surface when connecting two panels or to strengthen the sheet metal. Offset bending( Z-bending), This technique allows the operator to bend two angles in one stroke, without having to turn the workpiece around.

 

 

What is the Offset bends working principle?

The offset bends consist of two equal opposing bends.  The offset process in sheet metal is bending a sheet metal workpiece in an equipment unit or offset bender. Bend the metal by 20° to 30° using the formers. Release the part, turn it over, and joggle sheet metal to bend it again. Repeat till the correct height of the section or the joggle in sheet metal is achieved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to bend an Offset in sheet metal?

Machine Setups include various angles and operations in one setup. How to bend sheet metal such as bending an offset, 90 degree offset, 30 degree offset, and flattening operations can be loaded step by step.

Step 1: Choose the right tool for the required drawing.

Step 2: Set the press brake to where we want it to come down on the piece of metal.

Step 3: Manually adjust the press brake to create the desired angle.

Quality Inspection–Bending sheet aluminum with 1.5mm thickness

The offset bending(Z-bend or joggles) is normally two equal 90 degree bends to form a Z shape.

If you want to know more, please contact us for more joggle bends such as how to bend sheet metal for a 30 degree offset.

 

How to bend an offset on aluminum material

after the sheet metal offset tool is finished, It is necessary to be tested on the machine with the 1.5mm Aluminum steel. and each size should be inspected and satisfied before dispatch.

Custom requires: The one measurement of the offset dimension is 4mm and one side is 3mm. and the bending angle is 90 degrees offset with a straight line.
