CNC Panel Bending and Laser Cutting Solution for Electrical Cabinet Manufacturing

An electrical cabinet manufacturer in Turkey needed to upgrade its sheet metal production process to improve daily output, reduce manual bending dependence, and maintain stable cabinet quality across repeated production batches.

To support this production upgrade, STON CNC integrated a CNC Panel Bender and a Laser Cutting Unit into the customer’s electrical cabinet production workflow. The new solution replaced traditional manual bending, helped solve the labor shortage problem, and increased the customer’s daily output by 40%.

Contexte du projet

Electrical cabinet manufacturing requires accurate sheet metal cutting, stable bending angles, clean cabinet profiles, and reliable part consistency. Products such as distribution cabinets, control cabinets, switchgear enclosures, electrical boxes, door panels, side panels, and mounting plates usually require multiple holes, cutouts, flanges, and multi-sided bending.

Before the production upgrade, the customer faced several common challenges:

• Manual bending limited production speed and output capacity.
• Skilled labor shortage made it difficult to maintain stable production.
• Repeated cabinet parts required consistent bending angles and dimensions.
• Manual positioning increased the risk of cumulative bending errors.
• Electrical cabinet panels required clean edges and accurate profiles before assembly.
• Growing order demand required a more automated and scalable production workflow.

STON designed the solution around the customer’s cabinet structure, sheet metal processing route, production capacity target, and workshop operation needs.

STON CNC Solution

STON provided an automated sheet metal fabrication solution combining laser cutting and CNC panel bending.

The laser cutting unit processes cabinet panels, cutouts, openings, and sheet metal blanks with flexible cutting capability. It helps the customer prepare accurate flat parts before bending, especially for different cabinet models and changing production orders.

After cutting, the CNC panel bender completes multi-sided bending, door flange forming, side panel bending, cabinet profile shaping, and repeated enclosure part forming. Compared with traditional manual bending, the CNC panel bender reduces manual repositioning and helps maintain more consistent bending results.

This solution is especially suitable for electrical cabinet manufacturers that need to process:

• Electrical cabinet door panels
• Side panels and back panels
• Distribution box components
• Switchgear enclosure panels
• Control cabinet shells
• Mounting plates and internal structures
• Sheet metal covers and cabinet frames

Résultats après l’installation

After integrating the STON CNC panel bender and laser cutting unit, the Turkish customer achieved a more efficient and stable electrical cabinet production process.

The upgraded production line helped the customer:

• Replace traditional manual bending with CNC panel bending.
• Increase daily output by 40%.
• Reduce dependence on skilled manual bending operators.
• Improve bending consistency for repeated cabinet panels.
• Reduce manual repositioning during sheet metal forming.
• Improve cabinet assembly accuracy and production stability.
• Build a stronger foundation for automated electrical cabinet manufacturing.

Why This Solution Fits Electrical Cabinet Manufacturing

Electrical cabinet production requires both flexible cutting and precise bending. Different cabinet models may have different cutouts, mounting holes, ventilation structures, door flanges, and panel profiles. If cutting and bending are not well coordinated, the factory may face slow production, rework, assembly gaps, and unstable quality.

The combination of a laser cutting unit + CNC panel bender creates a practical production flow for cabinet manufacturers. Laser cutting provides flexible blanking for different panel structures, while CNC panel bending improves bending repeatability and reduces manual adjustment.

For manufacturers producing distribution cabinets, electrical enclosures, control cabinets, low-voltage cabinets, switchgear boxes, and industrial sheet metal cabinets, this solution can improve production efficiency and reduce labor pressure without sacrificing part consistency.

Valeur du projet

This Turkey project shows how STON CNC supports electrical cabinet manufacturers with practical sheet metal automation, not just single-machine supply.

By integrating laser cutting and CNC panel bending into the customer’s production workflow, STON helped the customer solve manual bending bottlenecks, improve daily output, and build a more stable production process for cabinet manufacturing.

For electrical cabinet manufacturers planning to reduce labor dependence, improve bending consistency, and increase output capacity, STON’s automated sheet metal fabrication solution provides a scalable upgrade path.
