Frequent questions about aluminum bending

What is aluminium bending?

This is the industrial technique consisting of subjecting the different types of profiles to a controlled deformation process that avoids excessive stresses on the pulled and compressed sides of the profile. The most common aluminium bending system is the cold process, which uses a set of three hydraulically controlled rollers or deforming cylinders. There must be a set of rollers or jaws that can be adapted to each type of profile and for each size.

What technology does Mabelux Technic use to bend aluminium?

Mabelux Technic uses its own design and manufacturing machinery in all its bending projects , both for aluminium and steel profiles. The constant innovation work carried out by our engineers allows us to bend very small radii and all types of profiles, in many cases even previously lacquered. The bending machine used can work manually, automatically and semi-automatically.

What do I have to do to request a quote for aluminium bending?

You can send us an e-mail with the profiles you want to bend, the sizes, technical information and the service you want us to quote (Basic, Optima, Complet). If our technical office has any questions, they will contact you in your language.

What are the minimum radii at which aluminium can be bent?

The minimum bending radius of an aluminium profile depends on the section and dimensions of this profile. Due to the type of machinery we have, we can achieve unimaginable minimum radii. If you want to know the bending possibilities, you only have to send us the sections of the profiles you want to bend and the size of the piece.
