Horizontal V grooving machines are specialized tools designed for precise V-shaped grooving of metal sheets prior to bending. By creating a V groove where the bend will occur, these machines enable the formation of sharp, well-defined bends, corners and radii while minimizing material deformation.
MachineMFG’s horizontal V groovers are built to the highest standards, with heavy-duty steel construction and advanced CNC controls from top brands like Mitsubishi. Servo-driven axes provide fast, precise positioning, while hydraulic clamping securely holds the workpiece in place. This results in exceptional grooving accuracy and repeatability.
With the ability to process sheets up to 6mm thick and 6 meters long, our machines are well-suited for a wide range of applications. Stainless steel, iron, copper and other metals can be grooved efficiently with minimal setup time. The horizontal configuration allows the workpiece to remain stationary, preventing scratches and making chip evacuation simple.
By V grooving prior to bending, fabricators can achieve tighter bends with smaller radii, improving the fit and appearance of the finished pieces. At the same time, grooving reduces the bending force required, allowing thinner materials to be formed on standard press brakes. This can significantly lower material, transportation, and installation costs.
MachineMFG’s horizontal V groover is the perfect solution for sheet metal workshops serving the decoration, transportation, electronics, and home appliance industries. With its combination of precision, stability, efficiency and ease of use, it will elevate your bending capabilities to the next level. Experience the MachineMFG advantage and see why customers worldwide rely on our V grooving expertise.
Robert Thomas –
As a seasoned user of MachineMFG’s machinery, I’ve had the pleasure of working with their Horizontal V Grooving Machine and it’s been a game-changer for our sheet metal projects. The precision of the V-grooves it produces is top-notch, allowing us to achieve sharp bends and clean corners, which is crucial in our decorative metalwork. The robust steel construction and advanced CNC controls make it a reliable workhorse in our shop, handling everything from stainless steel to copper with ease. Plus, the horizontal design means no more scratches on our materials and easier chip removal – a small but significant detail that makes a big difference. It’s not just about the grooves; it’s about the efficiency and quality improvements we’ve seen in our transportation and electronics projects. If I had to nitpick, I’d say I’d love to see even more automation to streamline our workflow further. Overall, MachineMFG’s equipment is a solid investment for any serious metalworking outfit.
