Bending & Forming

Bending and forming turn flat blanks into finished, three-dimensional parts. Whether you need a CNC press brake for tight, repeatable angles, a plate roll for cylinders and cones, or an automated panel bender for lights-out box forming, the right machine matches your tonnage, your length, and your production volume.

Buyer Guidance

How to Choose

Tonnage and bending length drive the decision first. Size the machine to the heaviest, longest part you bend regularly, not the average, so you are never fighting the press to make a part. Once the envelope fits, the drive system decides how the machine earns its keep.

If you run high volume and watch your energy bill, servo-electric is the move. Durma's AD-ES delivers 40% less energy consumption and 17% more productivity than a conventional hydraulic brake, which adds up fast on a machine that runs all day. The AD-Servo line carries the same servo-electric drive into high-volume production where cycle time and repeatability are everything.

Hydraulic brakes still own the heavy and the flexible end of the range, where deep tonnage and varied work matter more than cycle time. And when your work is boxes and panels in volume, a panel bender automates the forming entirely, turning flat blanks into finished four-sided parts with minimal handling. Pick the drive that matches how you actually run.
