Doors, mounting plates, side panels and plinths in 1.0–2.0 mm — punched, formed and stacked on one line. Built by an original manufacturer, not a trading company.
An electrical cabinet is a set of flat sheet-metal parts, each carrying many holes and each folded on all four sides. That shape decides the equipment. Blanks are cut on a laser a fibra or punched on a pressa punzonatrice a torretta CNC — which also produces louvres, cable entries, embossed ribs and threading preparations in the same clamping. The blanks then go to a Curvatura pannelli CNC, which folds all four sides without the operator lifting or turning the panel. A pressa piegatrice stays in the shop for brackets, DIN rails supports and anything thicker than 2 mm.
STON CNC (Qingdao Ston Mechanical Technology Co., Ltd.) è un produttore originale cinese di piegatrici a pannello CNC e punzonatrici a torretta, fondata nel 2006 a Qingdao, Cina. STON CNC manufactures all four machine types listed above in a 20,000㎡ in-house factory and integrates them into a single line with shared control, automatic loading and stacking. Machines carry ISO 9001 quality certification and CE marking under Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and are exported to more than 80 countries. View certifications and patents →
Roughly 80% of the sheet-metal content of a typical wall-mount or floor-standing cabinet is four-sided folded panels between 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm. That is exactly the window a panel bender is built for.
Mounting plates and ventilated doors carry hole patterns that take a long time on a laser and cost tooling time on a press. A CNC turret punch press completes punching, louvring, embossing and rib forming in a single clamping, then hands a finished blank straight to bending.
On a press brake, a 2 m door skin is lifted and rotated four times. Two operators, four handling steps, four chances to scratch a painted-grade surface. A panel bender clamps the blank once and folds all four sides in sequence.
Enclosure work is high-mix by nature. Press-brake changeover — tool swap, back-gauge reset, first-article check — quietly eats a shift. Program recall and rapid compensation adjustment bring changeover down to minutes instead of shim-and-retry.
Pick by your current monthly output and the number of cabinet variants, not by budget alone. An oversized line on low mix is the most common mistake in this industry.
We would rather lose an inquiry than sell a machine that cannot make your part. These are the working limits our engineering department confirms against every drawing.
| Parametro | Panel bender — welded frame | Panel bender — cast-iron frame | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acciaio laminato a freddo | ≤ 1.5 mm | ≤ 2.0 mm | A tutta lunghezza di piegatura |
| Acciaio inox | ≤ 1.0 mm | ≤ 1.2 mm | Above this, use a press brake |
| Alluminio | ≤ 2.5 mm | ≤ 2.5 mm | Dipendente dalla lega |
| Dimensione massima di formatura | 1000 × 1000 up to 2800 × 1500 mm (models A to D+) | Longer panels need a press brake | |
| Altezza di piegatura | 5 mm minimo / 170, 300 o 400 mm massimo | In base alla configurazione | |
| Min. four-sided inner size | approx. 140 × 190 mm | Smaller parts need a custom setup | |
| Bending angle | 0–180° | Positive and negative bending | |
| Precisione angolare | approx. ±0.5°/m | Rettilineità: circa 0,2 mm/m | |
| Dimensional accuracy | approx. ±0.1 mm/m | Verified at commissioning | |
| Utenze | Trifase 380 V, aria 0,6 MPa | Configurato per tensione di destinazione | |
Four-sided folded panels, 0.5–2.0 mm, up to 2800 mm long, repeated across many cabinet variants. This is where a panel bender pays back fastest.
Roll-formed profiles such as 19″ rack uprights and frame sections, deep-drawn parts, and anything above 2.0 mm cold-rolled. Different process, different machine.
Brackets, gland plate returns, one-off prototypes and small parts under the minimum forming size. A panel bender complements a press brake, it does not fully replace one.
Guarding and control-system design follow the recognised machinery safety framework rather than in-house rules. Risk assessment is carried out to EN ISO 12100; le funzioni di controllo relative alla sicurezza come l'interruzione della barriera fotoelettrica e l'arresto di emergenza sono specificate secondo EN ISO 13849-1. Press brakes supplied into the EU are built against EN 12622 for hydraulic press brakes, and machines placed on the EU market carry CE marking under Direttiva Macchine 2006/42/CE con il relativo fascicolo tecnico. La gestione della qualità è certificata secondo ISO 9001, and dimensional tolerances on machined structural parts follow ISO 2768.
On the machines themselves this means fully enclosed rear fencing, protective covers on all protruding moving parts, laser guarding that halts the ram when the protected zone is broken, over-tonnage protection on turret punch presses, and grating-ruler offset-load detection on panel benders.
Most enclosure factories need two of these three, not one. The question is which parts go where — and it is decided by part geometry, not by machine price.
| Curvatura pannelli CNC | Piegatrice CNC | Profilatura a rulli | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geometria del pezzo | Pannelli piatti piegati su tutti e quattro i lati | Any bend line, any sequence | Constant cross-section profiles only |
| Typical cabinet parts | Door skins, mounting plates, side panels, plinths | Brackets, gland plate returns, prototypes | 19″ rack uprights, frame members, C-profiles |
| Thickness window | 0.5–2.0 mm CRS / ≤1.2 mm SS | Up to 320 t machine capacity | Set by the roll set, not the machine |
| Max length | 2800 mm | 4100 mm | Effectively unlimited |
| Operatori per macchina | 1, o 0 con caricamento automatico | 1–2 depending on panel size | 1 for a whole line |
| Cambio tra varianti | Program recall, minutes | Cambio utensile e reimpostazione calibro | Roll set change, hours to days |
| Dimensione lotto economico | Small to very large, high mix | Da una sola volta a medio | Very large, low mix only |
| STON lo fornisce? | Sì | Sì | No — different process |
If your cabinet range is built mainly from roll-formed frame profiles with panels bolted on, a panel bender still covers the panels — but the frame line is a separate investment from a different supplier, and we will tell you that at the drawing-review stage rather than after the order.
Figures below describe the direction and mechanism of the change. Actual results depend on your part mix, batch size and shift pattern — we model them against your own drawings before quoting.
| Voce | Solo presse piegatrici | Turret punch + panel bender cell |
|---|---|---|
| Operatori alla postazione di piegatura | 2 per machine on large panels | 1, oppure in modalità automatica con caricamento automatico |
| Handling per four-sided panel | 4 sollevamenti e rotazioni | 1 load, machine handles the rest |
| Ciclo di flessione | Ritmo operatore | 0,2 s per piegatura, oltre 5.000 piegature al giorno (dati pubblicati da STON) |
| Cambio tra varianti | Tool swap, gauge reset, first-article check | Richiamo del programma e regolazione rapida della compensazione |
| Consistenza dell'angolo in un lotto | Operator-dependent | Closed-loop servo, ±0.5°/m |
| Surface damage on painted-grade sheet | Risk at every manual lift | Vacuum pick-up, patented 360° rotating suction feeding |
| Skill dependency | Experienced brake operator required | Program-driven, shorter operator training |
Payback logic we use with customers: (annual labour released + reduction in rework and scrap + additional saleable output) ÷ installed equipment cost. We build this with your real numbers rather than publishing a headline figure that would not match your plant.

Uncoiling, levelling, laser blanking, punching and bending under one control system. 0.5–2.0 mm, coil width 200–1500 mm, coil weight ≤10 T, levelling accuracy ±1 mm/m².
View production line →Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Qingdao, one hour from major export ports and the airport. Every stage — casting, heat treatment, machining, welding, assembly and inspection — happens inside our own 20,000㎡ factory. That is why configuration changes for a cabinet line do not become a six-month subcontracting problem.
Cabinet production runs to delivery dates. Downtime on a bending cell stops the whole shop, so response time matters more than any specification on the datasheet.
