In traditional bending processes, molds often leave dents or scratches on the sheet metal surface. This issue is especially pronounced when processing stainless steel mirror panels, aluminum sheets, or decorative components, significantly reducing the product’s appearance and overall value, and sometimes even leading to rework or scrap. With the increasing demand for surface quality in manufacturing, scratch-free bending tools have emerged.

Types of  Mark-Free Press Brake Tool：

  Scratch-free bending tools are designed with special structures or materials to prevent scratches and dents. Common types include：

Ball-bearing scratch-free tools: These support the sheet metal through ball bearings, significantly reducing friction, effectively preventing scratches, and making the bending process smoother.

Flipping-type scratch-free tools: The support surface can flip according to the bending angle, avoiding surface damage. This flexible flipping mechanism ensures the sheet metal is evenly supported throughout the bending process, preventing localized dents.

Polyurethane pad scratch-free tools: Using flexible pads to protect the sheet metal, these tools are particularly suitable for high-precision and high-surface-quality sheet metal processing.

Advantages of Scratch-Free Bending Tools:

  Compared with traditional tools, scratch-free molds offer clear advantages in sheet metal processing:

Protect sheet metal surfaces: Prevent dents and scratches, ensuring high-quality appearance.

Reduce material costs: Minimize rework and polishing, improving production efficiency.

High adaptability: Suitable for various materials and thicknesses, meeting diverse process requirements.

Extend mold life: Ball-bearing or pad structures reduce wear, prolonging tool lifespan.

Applicable Materials and Industry Fields:

  Scratch-free bending tools are widely used for metal sheets that require extremely high surface quality, including stainless steel mirror panels, aluminum sheets, galvanized sheets, and coated or painted decorative panels. They are applied across multiple high-end manufacturing industries, such as:

Elevator and architectural decoration: For elevator panels, metal curtain walls, and various stainless steel decorative components.

Kitchenware and home appliances: For manufacturing housings of cookware, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., ensuring smooth and attractive surfaces.

Medical and precision equipment: For sheet metal parts of medical devices, testing instruments, and other applications with strict surface integrity requirements.

High-end custom sheet metal: Such as aerospace components or luxury interiors, where surface detail and quality are extremely critical.

  In summary, scratch-free bending tools not only enhance the surface quality of products but also help sheet metal processing companies reduce production costs and improve efficiency. In recent years, Golin Tooling has kept pace with the times in the scratch-free bending field, developing and launching multiple scratch-free bending tools, which have been sold to Europe, South America, and parts of the Middle East, receiving consistent praise from customers. Looking ahead, the demand for scratch-free bending in high-end manufacturing will continue to grow, and Golin will continue providing professional and efficient tooling solutions to customers worldwide.
