Três dobradeiras de painéis CNC para a fabricação de armários e móveis na Turquia

A cabinet and furniture manufacturer in Turkey selected three STON Dobradeiras CNC de painéis for its sheet metal bending operations.

The equipment is intended for processing repeatable cabinet, drawer and metal furniture components with multiple folded edges. Installing three panel benders provides the customer with three CNC bending workstations for its cabinet and furniture production.

Panel Bending Requirements in Cabinet and Furniture Manufacturing

Sheet metal cabinets and furniture contain components with multiple folded edges. According to STON’s published product information, CNC panel benders are suitable for repeated production of cabinets, drawers and other box-shaped sheet metal parts.

Relevant components may include:

• Cabinet doors
• Cabinet side panels
• Painéis traseiros
• Shelves
• Drawer bodies
• Divisórias internas
• Tool cabinet components
• Filing cabinet components
• Metal furniture enclosures

These are general applications identified by STON for its dobradeira de painéis CNC range. The exact components produced in this Turkish project were not specified.

Cabinet and furniture parts may require several bends around one workpiece. A CNC panel bender uses a programmed sequence to form these edges while reducing repeated manual rotation and repositioning between bends.

A solução da STON

STON supplied three Dobradeiras CNC de painéis for the Turkish customer’s cabinet and furniture production.

The machines are designed for automatic multi-edge bending of thin sheet metal components. Depending on the selected configuration, STON panel benders can support:

• Positive bending
• Dobra positiva e negativa
• Multi-edge forming
• Multi-angle panel profiles
• Programmed bending sequences
• Automatic workpiece positioning
• Repeated processing of cabinet and drawer parts
• Integration with automatic loading and unloading equipment

The exact configuration of the three machines has not been provided. It is therefore not possible to confirm whether they are press-arm models, suction-cup feeding models or a combination of both types.

Why CNC Panel Benders Are Suitable for Cabinets and Furniture?

Automatic multi-edge bending

Cabinet panels, shelves and drawer bodies can contain several folded edges. A panel bender performs repeated upward and downward forming according to the programmed part profile.

Reduced workpiece repositioning

Traditional multi-step bending may require the operator to reposition the sheet between individual bends. STON panel benders are designed to control workpiece movement and complete multiple edges through an automatic bending sequence.

Repeatable part processing

Cabinet and furniture manufacturers often produce recurring product families. Once the machine has been correctly configured for a part, the corresponding program can be used for repeated production of that component.

Flexible product applications

STON identifies panel benders as suitable for both standard cabinet components and high-mix OEM sheet metal production. Equipment selection should be based on the part drawing, flange geometry, material, thickness, batch size and required automation level.

Automation expansion

STON panel benders can be connected with robotic, gantry or truss-type loading and unloading systems when a manufacturer needs automatic sheet pickup, feeding, unloading, transfer or stacking.

Three-Machine Configuration

The confirmed project scope consists of three CNC panel benders.

A three-machine installation gives the manufacturer multiple independent bending workstations. However, the customer’s actual production allocation has not been disclosed. It cannot be confirmed whether the machines process different product families, operate with the same parts or serve separate production lines.

The project should therefore be described factually as:

A cabinet and furniture manufacturer in Turkey selected three STON CNC Panel Benders for sheet metal panel bending.

The following project details remain undisclosed:

• Customer name
• Panel bender models
• Press-arm or suction-cup configuration
• Bending length of each machine
• Sheet metal materials
• Material thicknesses
• Workpiece dimensions
• CNC control configuration
• Loading and unloading method
• Production capacity
• Cycle time
• Installation date
• Measured production results

STON CNC Panel Bender Range

STON’s panel bender range includes two main configurations.

Press-Arm CNC Panel Bender

The press-arm type is designed for stable handling of common cabinet components and repeated panel production. STON lists A2, B2, C2, D2 and F2 as press-arm model families.

Suction-Cup CNC Panel Bender

The suction-cup type uses suction-based feeding for flexible panel movement. STON lists A1 and B1 as suction-cup model families.

Published specifications for the overall product family include:

Cabinet and Furniture Components Supported by Panel Bending

STON states that its CNC panel benders are intended for automatic bending of parts used in:

• Filing cabinets
• Tool cabinets
• Drawers
• Metal storage furniture
• Armários elétricos
• Server racks
• Laboratory furniture
• Medical furniture
• Gabinetes personalizados de chapa metálica

For cabinet and furniture production, the equipment can be evaluated for doors, sides, shelves, drawer bodies and internal partitions.

Final equipment selection depends on representative part drawings rather than one general catalogue specification. Flange size, bend direction, material, thickness and workpiece dimensions must all be checked before choosing a machine configuration.
