Bendmak Plate Bending Roller

Bendmak Plate Bending Roller

This large automated roller is used to roll-form aluminum honeycomb, usually as a preliminary step in the heat-forming process. Capable of handling honeycomb up to 80″ in width, 3″ thick, and any length, this device can also be adjusted to create a non-circular curvature. It is also used to fabricate curved templates and fixture components.

Quality and efficacy are paramount in machining honeycomb components for aerospace applications. Each part that goes on the CNC requires precise material removal to achieve tight tolerances to meet stringent aerospace requirements. ✅📏

The significance of tool path optimization cannot be overstated. The tool path determines how the CNC machine moves the cutting tools across the honeycomb part, affecting both quality and efficiency. An optimized tool path can enhance manufacturing outcomes in several ways:

1️⃣ Improved Quality: By strategically planning the tool path, we can minimize tool deflection, vibration, and material tear-out, thereby reducing the risk of surface imperfections and dimensional inaccuracies. This translates to superior part quality, ensuring structural integrity and reliability.

2️⃣ Enhanced Efficiency: Optimized tool paths enable faster cutting speeds, reduced machining time, and improved material utilization. By reducing unnecessary tool movements, we can achieve shorter cycle times and maximize productivity without compromising on precision.

3️⃣ Extended Tool Life: The tool path optimization process takes into account factors like tool engagement, chip evacuation, and heat dissipation. By minimizing tool wear and tear, we can prolong the life of cutting tools, reducing production costs and downtime for tool changes.

With 30 years of honeycomb fabrication experience, MachineTek continues to advance our honeycomb and foam fabrication techniques. Let us help provide support for your honeycomb parts!

Forming an aluminum honeycomb part using a roller requires a special process and technique to minimize common issues like disbonds, cell wall failure, scratches, surface depressions, and cell wall buckling.

At MachineTek LLC we have perfected the process over 30 years to reduce these common defects, ensuring a high-quality end part.

With the ability to handle honeycomb up to 80" in width, 3" thick, and any length, and the added benefit of adjustable non-circular curvature, our tools and process is the perfect choice for fabricating curved templates and fixture components.

Don't settle part that may pass inspection but a part that meets your specific requirements and tolerances.
