Sheet Metal bending for Appliances Manufacturing
Appliances are typically made of pre-polished 304 or 316 Stainless Steel.
MAR-FREE bending is an essential feature for any quality Appliance manufacturing process. Sharp 90 degree bends, as well as radius bends are formed by using Urethane Tooling as the bottom die. High volume production tools are used by many Appliance Manufacturing Companies all over the world.
URETHANE V-DIES are the most popular Tooling used in the appliance industry for mar-free bending 90 degree bends.
Solid Urethane V-Dies are commonly used by most premium grade appliance manufacturers.
Urethane V-Dies are molded to shape, using a very hard and durable grade of Urethane and are used just like steel V-Dies, for high volume 90 degree bends. Depending on the gauge of metal being bent the V-openings of 8 times the metal thickness are recommended for Non-marring applications.
V-Dies with a molded tang for American Press brakes are available in ¼” to 2” V-openings, and in lengths of up to 8 Ft.

QUICK CHANGE URETHANE 2V-DIES
Urethane 2V-DIES are made of a very hard, tooling grade Urethane for SCRATCH-FREE bending of pre-polished stainless steel, aluminum and pre-finished surfaces (painted, vinyl coated).
- Available in lengths: L=835mm( 32.87"); S=415mm(16.34")
- Just drop it on a Quick Change Die Rail and the dies line up with the centerline of the machine and changing sizes is just as easy as turning the 2-V die around or putting in a new 2-V die.
- For AMERICAN style Press Brakes, the 2-V die is used with a special Rail, Part Number PQCR2.
- For TRUMPF Style Press Brakes , the 2-V die is used with a special Rail, part Number PQCR2T
- For AMADA Style Press Brakes, the 2-V die is used with a Quick change Rail, mounted on a 2-V die holder.
URETHANE 4V-DIES & V-DIES IN STEEL HOLDERS
4V-DIES are molded to shape using a very hard tooling grade Urethane for SCRATCH-FREE bends in pre-polished stainless steel, aluminum and pre-finished surfaces (painted, vinyl coated)
- 4-V Dies are square shaped, designed to fit in steel holders. Acute angle and 90 degree bending V-Dies are available to fit in the same steel holders.
- Standard lengths available are up to 48". For longer bends, butt pads end to end in a longer steel holder.
- Steel Holders with mounting tangs for AMERICAN, AMADA & TRUMPF PRESS BRAKES are available in the following sizes, in Working heights of 50mm (1.96") and 100 mm (3.93").

Radius bending for APPLIANCES Manufacturing
POLYURETHANE DIE PADS
Polyurethane Die Pads for radius forming come in two type of configurations that can create 90 or 180 degree bends in 1 hit:
- POD - Designed for sharp or radiused V-Bends.
- PUD - Used for making 180 degree U-Bends in one hit.

Bull nose bends are formed by using a special Urethane bottom die designed to form a full 180 degree radius bend on the edge of a wide sheet metal, in 2 hits, without the sheet metal hitting the ram of the press brake.
