Polyurethane Metal Forming Pads
The new SMARTPAD™ tooling system are urethane pads for metal bending and forming, designed to create large radius bends in any gauge thick & type of sheet metal (up to 3/8” thick stainless steel) can be formed to virtually any radius, just by changing the punch. Up to 8 inches of surface area can be bent in a single hit, leaving to possibility of turning a 38 hit process into 3.

Learn MoreWatch the Process
Watch as the SmartPad tooling system is used to create a 4” radius 180 degree bend in 3 hits. Our customer was taking over 37 hits to create his 180 degree bends, without receiving consistent radii, and having multiple distorted bend lines throughout the piece. With the smart pad we were able to offer our customer smooth, mar-free bends with the ability to produce the parts in 1/16 of the time.
