Hemming - Hem edges

Hemming, also known as "Fold flat press," "Flat press fold," or "flat press bending," refers to folding or doubling a plate edge to create a smooth, finished edge using special bending tooling.

The following configurations are possible:

Self-edges up to 1.5 mm

  1. Max. length 3000 mm
  2. Hemmed edge: height 7 mm (larger is possible)

Self-edges up to 2 mm: with free choice, preferably a 15 mm edge.

  1. Max. length 4000 mm.
  2. Up to 2 mm, hemmed edge 14 mm inward.
  3. Unfolded length with self-edge: do not subtract sheet thickness for the self-edge, e.g., U 50/100/50 with 2 self-edges of 15 mm and thickness of 1.5 mm.
  4. Unfolded length = 15 + 48.5 + 97 + 48.5 + 15.

Self-edges up to 3 mm.

  1. Max. length 2000 mm.
  2. 3 mm is already quite thick, resulting in a fairly rounded top edge.
  3. A better option from 3 mm onwards is a double-folded edge, for example, 30/30.
