Rounding Sheet Metal Edges

Most customers require edge rounding or at least edge breaking of the edges of metal workpieces.

Rounding sheet metal edges.

Rounding the edges of the sheet metal apparently increases the surface area of the products giving you more room in terms of powder coating it anodizing it metal plating it and the like. Loeser is building machines for deburring edge rounding grinding and polishing of flat material like fine stamped parts or fine blanking parts as well as profiles. Standards have been derived from these findings e g. Otherwise the staff members in manual assembly processes and end users may injure their hands.

Rounding off sharp edges with radius cutters good and accurate rounding of steel constructions according to en 1090 iso 12944 iso 8501 or imo pspc is becoming more and more important in the metal working industry. For steel construction which require a radii of 2 0 mm and more on the edges for certain components. Rounding edges with minium radius 2 mm is a necessity for good adhesion of coating or paint to protect against corrosion. We integrate widebelt grinding systems as well as planetary cup brush technology.

Check out the. Fabrication tips making radius rounded edge. One thing that is important to note is that we do not have some kind of burs on sheet metals. Therefore they must be extremely careful when manoeuvring the workpieces so they cannot work quickly.

Rounded edges reduce the risk of injury and optimize downstream processing whether they are being welded or coated. This helps to ensure that the downstream process functions in a much smoother way. Only edge round when necessary. Step 2 is to tack weld the cornerfill into place.

Step 1 is to design the corners like shown in above image. Nevertheless numerous practical applications have shown that good paint adhesion is often achieved with a rounding of just 0 5 mm on the sheet metal edge. Edge rounding is indispensable in order to achieve a high quality final part. One of the main reasons why the process of sheet metal edge rounding is carried is to try and eliminate any left on the sheet metal parts.

Learn some basic metal working techniques on how to make perfect round corners and radius edges. Step 3 weld all seams. Step 4 grind flush.
