A Revolution in Electrical Cabinet Door Manufacturing with Cold Forming Technology
PAYAPRESS introduces the ColdForm Corner Machine, a breakthrough in the manufacturing of electrical cabinet doors. By completely eliminating the welding process at the corners and using advanced cold forming technology, this machine not only improves the final product quality but also significantly enhances production efficiency.
Innovation in the Manufacturing Process
In conventional methods, sheet metal corners are cut to create the desired angle and then welded together. This approach causes visible seams, requires additional finishing processes like grinding, and increases production time and cost.
The ColdForm Corner Machine forms the corners precisely and continuously, without any cutting or welding. This process results in seamless surfaces, greater structural strength, and the elimination of time-consuming post-processing steps.
