A panel bender is a specialized machine used in the production of appliance doors, particularly for bending and shaping metal panels. This equipment is designed to efficiently and accurately bend metal sheets or panels, creating the desired shape for appliance doors. The bending process is crucial in forming the structural and aesthetic components of the doors. Panel benders are equipped with various features and tools to handle different types of metal and achieve precise bends. These machines often have computer numerical control (CNC) capabilities, allowing for programmable and automated bending processes. CNC panel benders can be programmed to produce consistent and complex bends, ensuring uniformity in the manufacturing of appliance doors.
