Rounding Sheet Metal Edges

Learn some basic metal working techniques on how to make perfect round corners and radius edges.

Rounding sheet metal edges.

Step 3 weld all seams. In addition to that it also reduces the complete and overall risk of rust corrosion and the chipping off of the coat that it has. However it is important to consider which degree of edge rounding is necessary for your business purposes depending on corrosion protection requirements. Only edge round when necessary.

We integrate widebelt grinding systems as well as planetary cup brush technology. Step 1 is to design the corners like shown in above image. Step 4 grind flush. Therefore they must be extremely careful when manoeuvring the workpieces so they cannot work quickly.

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. Edge rounding is indispensable in order to achieve a high quality final part. This helps to ensure that the downstream process functions in a much smoother way.

One thing that is important to note is that we do not have some kind of burs on sheet metals. Standards have been derived from these findings e g. Rounded edges reduce the risk of injury and optimize downstream processing whether they are being welded or coated. Most customers require edge rounding or at least edge breaking of the edges of metal workpieces.

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. 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. 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. 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.

Step 2 is to tack weld the cornerfill into place. Fabrication tips making radius rounded edge. Otherwise the staff members in manual assembly processes and end users may injure their hands.
