Aluminium bending

Kersten Europe bends client-specific extrusion profiles with the aid of the most modern CNC-controlled machines. The bending of profiles with several radii or 3-dimensonal bent profiles is not exceptional.
Our bent profiles are used in a number of sectors, including train building, the automobile industry, and the medical sector. Series sizes vary from 1 to 10,000 pieces. Kersten Europe can also supply complete system components.

Thermal treatments such as soft annealing and ageing of your bent segments are carried out in our own oven. We have also mastered several welding processes geared to aluminium in accordance with various standards. The surface treatment of bent sections completes our package of services.

We advise you to contact our specialists during the design phase of the extrusion profile in order to discuss the bending technology options and restrictions of the profile shape. This creates a profile cross section that is geared optimally to the bending process and reduces distortion and deviation to a minimum.

In short:

The cold bending of standard and client-specific aluminium profiles.

• CNC bending of aluminium extrusion profiles in standard alloys (ENAW6063) and special alloys (including EN-AW7020).

• The bending of large extrusion profiles with a diameter of 800 mm
  maximum.

• Experience in the bending of standard system profiles from suppliers such as Schuco, Hueck and Item.

• Specialist in the bending of profiles with several radii or 3D bent
  profiles.

• Application of our bent profiles in sectors including train
  construction, the automobile and construction industry, wall building and the medical sector.
