A panel bender is an automated sheet metal bending machine that efficiently forms complex parts with high precision and minimal setup time. It uses a combination of upper and lower bending blades, an automatic blankholder, and a counterblade to bend sheet metal into desired shapes and angles.
The MachineMFG panel bender represents the pinnacle of sheet metal bending automation and flexibility. With bending lengths ranging from 1400mm up to 2500mm and the ability to handle aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel, it can accommodate virtually any bending requirement.
At the heart of the system are 13 precisely controlled axes and an advanced bending unit capable of achieving bends in as little as 0.2 seconds. This incredible speed, combined with automatic tool setup and adjustment, allows the MachineMFG panel bender to maintain high productivity even when frequently changing over between unique part geometries.
Bending precision and repeatability are guaranteed thanks to the rigid pressure arm design, eccentric load detection system, and real-time plate thickness monitoring. Automatic feeding and part manipulation streamline the bending process and minimize manual intervention.
The MachineMFG panel bender also leads the industry in terms of safety. The advanced collision detection system actively prevents tool crashes, even with the most complex parts. At the same time, the ergonomic design and fully enclosed bending area protect the operator.
With its unmatched combination of performance, flexibility, and safety, the MachineMFG panel bender is the ultimate solution for forward-thinking fabricators. It enables profitable production of both high-mix low-volume and high-volume low-mix parts, with seamless transitions between the two. Discover the future of sheet metal bending with MachineMFG.

John Carter –
As a long-time user in the metal fabrication industry, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with various bending machines, but the MachineMFG Panel Bender Machine truly stands out. Its fully automated bending process, which clocks in at a swift 0.2 seconds per cut, not only boosts productivity but also significantly cuts down on labor costs. Unlike traditional CNC bending machines that require skilled operators, the MachineMFG machine is user-friendly, allowing even less experienced workers to achieve high-quality results after just a couple of hours of training.
One of the most impressive features is the machine’s safety. The automated process eliminates the need to manually handle the workpiece, reducing the risk of accidents significantly. Additionally, the machine’s high positioning accuracy, up to 0.001mm, ensures consistent and precise bends, making it ideal for mass production where uniformity is key.
However, no machine is without its drawbacks. While the MachineMFG Panel Bender excels in speed and automation, the initial cost and setup might be a consideration for smaller shops. But for those looking to scale up their production capabilities, the investment is well justified by the efficiency and reduction in manual labor.
Overall, the MachineMFG Panel Bender Machine is a game-changer for any serious metal fabricator looking to improve throughput and product consistency. It’s a solid investment that pays dividends in productivity and safety.
