Maximum flange length

Bending is cheaper and more hygienic than welding. Therefore, in design, preference should be given as much as possible to bending instead of welding. Especially for trays, it’s often a question of which flanges can still be bent.

Everyone intuitively understands that a tray with four 100 mm high flanges can have all flanges bent. But what if that same tray requires four 300 mm high flanges? Many design mistakes are made here.

Below are the possibilities at Alinco. We have always selected press brake configurations and bending tools based on broad technical bending capabilities. These capabilities differ for each designer.
