Aluminum Profile Double-Head Bending Machine
A double-head bending machine forms both ends of aluminum profile parts in one cycle - simultaneous rotary bends for fast, repeatable bracket production.
Key Specifications
- Materials
- Aluminum profile and extruded bar
Key Features
- Two bending heads form both ends of the part in one stroke
- Center clamp holds the profile square for accurate spacing
- Handles plain and wood-grain coated aluminum profile
- Bend angles stay matched left to right, cycle after cycle
How Are Both Ends of an Aluminum Profile Bent in One Cycle?
Short answer: On a double-head bending station. This video shows opposed bending heads forming both ends of an aluminum profile part simultaneously, so brackets and frames come out with matched bend angles and accurate leg spacing in a single stroke.
What the Video Demonstrates
| Stage | Equipment | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Load | Profile laid against center stops | Square position, equal overhang |
| Clamp | Center clamp block | Part held without marks |
| Form | Twin bending heads, one cycle | Both ends bent at the same time |
| Check | Finished parts fanned in hand | Matched angles, clean faces |
Key Applications
- Aluminum profile brackets and corner pieces
- Coated and wood-grain extrusion parts
- Frame hardware for doors, windows and furniture
- Small-batch production needing matched double bends
Double-Head vs. Single-Head Bending of Profiles
| Criterion | Single-head station | Double-head station |
|---|---|---|
| Bends per cycle | One end | Both ends at once |
| Leg spacing accuracy | Two setups, cumulative error | Fixed by one clamp position |
| Cycle time | Doubled for two-end parts | Halved |
| Angle matching | Operator re-set | Inherently symmetric |
FAQ
Which profile sizes can the double-head machine bend? The video shows slim aluminum profile parts; dies and stops are matched to your section size and bend radius.
Does it mark coated or wood-grain profiles? The clamp and dies support the profile through the bend so coated faces stay clean, as seen on the finished parts.
How fast is a two-end cycle? Both heads stroke together in one cycle - the operator only loads, clamps and unloads.
