There is a limit to bending processing using a general press brake for Aluminum Composite panels. If bending of a smaller R is necessary, the V-groove processing method may be used.
(Special bending process)
-
V-groove cut processing
V-groove cut processing can be made by fitting a V-groove blade to a NC router, electric trimmer, or circular saw. V-groove cut processing shall be made with the bottom of the groove left with a 0.2mm – 0.4mm resin portion of the core material.
-
Bending processing
Bend evenly in order not to cut the aluminum sheet of the surface proceed with the V-groove cut.
-
Method of reinforcement
Since the bending portion does not have its original strength, reinforce the groove side of bent portion with a reinforcing material, such as an aluminum angle attachment with a bonding agent. According to necessity, the inside of V-groove shall be filled with a sealant.
