Generally speaking, flexible bending centers are suitable for the following products:
1. Box-shaped workpieces
When producing traditional box-shaped sheet metal parts, flexible bending centers operate at speeds several times faster than conventional bending equipment. Their operating principle enables rapid and precise fabrication of boxes, lids, and other similar shapes, with the ability to bend an entire box side in a single pass.
While conventional press brakes can also produce box-shaped sheet metal parts with target angles and dimensions, the process is labor-intensive, incurring excessive labor and time costs. Compared to bending centers, achieving the same dimensions and angles often requires significantly more time.
However, bending centers are constrained by bending height and throat depth limitations. In certain cases, they must be used in conjunction with CNC press brakes.
2. Large Panels/Electrical Door Cabinets/Elevator Door Cabinets/Ceiling Panels and Other Sheet Metal Components
Flexible bending centers are typically ideal for large components. This preference often stems not from bending complexity but from the sheer size of the sheet metal parts, which may require multiple operators working simultaneously on the same table or using follow-up vehicles to complete the process.
In such scenarios, flexible bending centers offer significant operational advantages. Components can be manually or robotically loaded onto the workbench, after which the equipment automatically completes the required processes. This approach is considerably more convenient than traditional CNC press brakes.
3. Small, Complex Profiles
Certain small geometric sheet metal parts pose significant safety risks when manually operated on traditional CNC press brakes, as operators risk finger injuries. Flexible bending centers eliminate this hazard, preventing potential accidents caused by process-related finger pinching.
When bending more complex geometries, bending centers offer distinct advantages. Operators can manipulate parts during the process, enabling the machine to achieve narrower profiles.
Hogi flexible bending centers effortlessly handle batch bending of components such as fire doors, decorative hardware for doors and windows, aluminum panels, refrigeration equipment like refrigerators and freezers, engineering machinery enclosures, electrical cabinets, filing cabinets, and other box-type structures. Their rapid bending speed significantly reduces labor costs by eliminating the need for multiple operators to manually lift panels. The machines operate autonomously, delivering fully automated bending.

In metal fabrication, bending centers serve as core equipment. With their high precision, efficiency, and automation, they have become indispensable tools in manufacturing enclosures, cabinets, automotive components, and more. Hogi Machine, with years of industry expertise, consistently prioritizes user needs. Through continuous technological innovation and rigorous manufacturing processes, we deliver bending centers that offer significant advantages in performance, longevity, and user experience.
I. Comprehensive Protection for Electrical Control Stability: Cabinet Air Conditioning System
The core control system of a bending center typically integrates multi-axis servo drives, which are highly sensitive to ambient temperature and humidity. HOGI’s standard cabinet air conditioning for bending centers is not merely a “standard feature,” but stems from deep consideration for equipment reliability throughout its entire lifecycle. In high-temperature, high-humidity conditions, electronic component lifespans are significantly shortened. While failures may be rare during warranty periods, post-warranty repair costs fall entirely on the user. HOGI proactively adds this configuration to fundamentally enhance long-term operational stability, delivering genuine “peace of mind” for customers.
II. Eliminating Pipe Burst Risks: Metal Lubrication Piping
The lubrication system is critical for sustained, stable equipment operation. HOGI bending centers exclusively employ metal tubing throughout internal lubrication pathways, eliminating the risk of bursting caused by plastic tubing degradation. Particularly at deep lubrication points within the equipment, the metal tubing’s lifetime maintenance-free nature drastically reduces future repair complexity and costs. Despite higher expenses and more intricate manufacturing processes, Shengtong persists with this approach solely to ensure reliable equipment operation for ten years or longer.
III. The “Invisible Guardian” of Precision Equipment: Guide Rail Clamping Blocks
As the motion core of the bending center, the installation method of guide rails directly impacts equipment precision and lifespan. Drawing inspiration from high-precision equipment manufacturing principles (e.g., lithography machines, medical imaging devices), HOGI incorporates clamping block structures into all guide rail systems. This design effectively resists external impacts and off-center loads, prevents screw loosening and rail deformation, thereby significantly enhancing stability and precision retention under heavy-duty, high-frequency usage conditions.
IV. Intelligent Adjustment, Precise Compensation: Bending Die Compensation Device
To meet the trend of multi-variety, small-batch production requiring frequent workpiece changes, HOGI bending centers feature an innovative bending die compensation adjustment device. Utilizing a wedge block structure and multi-point micro-adjustment design, it enables users to rapidly and precisely adjust die curvature to accommodate bending requirements for varying sheet thicknesses and dimensions. Compared to traditional makeshift solutions like “canned food can shims,” HOGI’s compensation system not only simplifies operation but also significantly enhances setup efficiency and finished product consistency.
V. Core Transmission, Lasting Precision: Grinding Screws Standard Across All Models
The precision and lifespan of ball screws directly determine the long-term performance of bending centers. HOGI insists on using ground ball screws in all spindles, achieving positioning accuracy at the 0.01mm level—far exceeding the 0.1mm standard of cold-rolled ball screws—with a service life over three times longer. Despite significantly higher costs, Shengtong believes this is a necessary investment to ensure equipment maintains high precision under heavy-load, high-speed conditions.
VI. In-House Manufacturing, Full Process Control: Machining and Tolerance Management
HOGI possesses comprehensive in-house R&D and machining capabilities, with all bed bodies and structural components fabricated in its own workshops. This advantage delivers three key practical benefits:
Rapid Iteration: Design improvements are immediately reflected in machining, accelerating product optimization;
Cumulative Tolerance Control: Through process adjustments and matched assembly, tolerances are maintained within optimal ranges;
Full Lifecycle Support: Customers need not worry about component supply disruptions, and custom requirements receive faster responses.
VII. Invisible Process, Visible Quality: Full-Process Stress Relief Treatment
Internal metal stresses are the “invisible killer” affecting long-term precision stability. HOGI performs tempering on all bed bodies and implements tempering + natural aging treatment on critical components like motor mounts and lead screw seats to fully release internal stresses. Notably, Shengtong offers “full-process tempering documentation” services, allowing customers to specify markings and receive complimentary video records of the entire process—a testament not only to our process confidence but also to our respect for customer trust.
HOGI bending centers not only adhere to “high-standard positioning” in configuration but also embody true long-termism in manufacturing processes, detailed design, and user service. We believe that only by perfecting every aspect of the equipment lifecycle can we truly create value for customers and become a trusted partner in China’s high-quality manufacturing development.
