This aluminum profile, intended for the manufacture of boat windows, presented a very specific challenge: keeping its internal groove intact, where an insulating rubber seal would later be fitted.
During the bending process, the groove could lose width, something the customer needed to avoid at all costs.
The solution was to design a special die and insert a nylon piece inside the profile to prevent deformation during the process.
In addition, the die was hardened and given a low-friction coating to achieve smoother, more controlled, and less aggressive bending.
The entire job was carried out using the CC60 mandrel-free tube and profile bending machine, equipped with CNC control, which automates the process and guarantees flawless, fully repeatable results.
