LVD introduces panel benders to its portfolio

Belgium-based LVD Company nv, a leading manufacturer of sheet metalworking equipment, has added panel benders to its portfolio of flexible solutions for sheet metal processing. The new product line offers a comprehensive range of panel-bending equipment, including high-speed versions.

Panel benders and systems expand LVD’s scope as a solutions provider, offering users a broad array of leading metal fabricating products from a single source. Panel bending technology can process large and complex geometries, quickly and efficiently with high productivity in medium to high volumes. For certain applications, panel bending is faster and more efficient than traditional die bending.

LVD panel benders are engineered as cost-effective machines that can be customised to expand capacity and performance. Their servo-driven design requires minimal service and is nearly maintenance-free. A universal set of folding blades permits processing of a wide range of profiles and bends. Most profiles can be formed using a single set of tooling. LVD panel benders boast an output capacity two- to three-times that of comparable systems.

Panel bending technology is ideal for producing large electrical cabinets, panels and cabinet components, shelving, clean rooms, steel furniture, architectural building panels, photo-voltaic components, trailer side panels, lighting as well as other industrial equipment panels featuring complex geometries with radius bends, short side lengths, and narrow profiles.

LVD will initially offer three models of panel benders: PB 21/12, PB 25/12, and PB 32/12 to handle panel sizes up to 3,200 x 1,250mm.
