A bending machine is a machine used to bend and shape workpieces. There are many types and functions of bending machines, which can either serve as a press or a bending machine. Some bending machines can process sheet metal directly without the need for clamping tools, while others require clamping tools to assist with bending. The metal sheet is secured by the clamping device and remains in place throughout the entire processing process. The bending machine uses the bending tool to shape the metal plate and create the desired profile. The body and tools of the bending machine must be made of special materials to ensure that they can withstand the pressure applied during processing without being damaged.

The metal sheet is positioned on the lower die of the workbench and then pressed by punches to complete the bending process. The movement of the slider, which is driven by the power system, results in the downward movement of the punch. This type of machine can bend metal sheets or pipes to any angle.
