Metal Bending Services from Acier Lachine

Beyond the extensive inventory of steel, aluminum, and other metal products, Acier Lachine offers a range of metal fabrication and finishing services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clientele. One of our most sought-after services is metal bending, a specialized process that requires precision, expertise, and the right equipment.

Two Types of Metal Bending Techniques Used at Acier Lachine

The metal industry employs various bending techniques, each suited to specific applications and materials. At Acier Lachine, we have honed our expertise in the following two methods:
1. Roll Bending: This method uses bending rolls to shape metals into curved sections. Metal roll bending is particularly effective for bars, pipes, tubing, and various structural sections such as angles, channels, and beams.

2. Press Braking: A versatile technique, press braking is used to bend metal sheets and plates. By applying force via a punch and die mechanism, we can achieve precise bends tailored to our customer’s specifications.
