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?

Setups for staging include various angles and operations in one setup; for example bending an offset, a 30-degree, 90-degree, and flattening operations can be loaded side by side.

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 stop the press brake to create the desired angle.

Quality Inspection

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

after testing the sheet metal offset tool, the 1.5mm Aluminum bending profile should be inspected to fit the sizes before dispatch.
