Bending with cut-outs near the bend line

WILA offers multiple solutions for bending with cut-outs near the bend line.

Avoid deformations and other distortions

Holes, slots or cut-outs can be deformed when positioned too close to the bend line. For best practices on how to avoid deformations when bending near cut-outs, read our guide: "Best practices: positioning holes, slots and cut-outs away from the bend line". If repositioning is not an option, check our solutions below for minimizing and reducing deformations.

Two ways to bend with cut-outs near the bend line

RotaBend Tooling

WILA's RotaBend tooling is designed for bending short flanges and producing clean bends when bending near holes, slots and cut-outs.

Tools for bottom bending

When bottom bending, the sheet metal is enclosed between the top and bottom tools. This reduces deformation of holes and cut-outs. Check out our tools for bottom bending.
