Off-Axis Bending

Off-axis bending is a process that takes a material, bends it out of square, and then introduces a radius to it.  Ordinarily, this type of bending would take place only on a single plane, and off-axis bending presents a unique set of difficulties, since non-round materials can easily experience deformation during the bending process. 

Commonly used for roofs and domes, off-axis bending can provide shapes bent from angles, bars, beams, channels and tubes, as well as plate and sheet metal.  Industrial funnels, transitions and stacks are other common uses for conical steel bending.

Because of the difficulty involved in multi-axis bending, specialized tools are needed for a company to correctly bend metal to specification.  Deformation can be a real problem for inexperienced companies, and it’s a good idea for you to ask a company for distortion estimates in order to be sure that the final product will meet all of your requirements.
