In a sheet metal workshop, a worker equipped with heavy-duty protective gloves is carrying out a precision bending procedure using a press brake — a critical piece of equipment for sheet metal fabrication. This process is specifically tailored to produce metal components for a range of lighting products, including Indoor Lighting, Outdoor Garden Light, and Flush Mount fixtures. First, the worker carefully positions a flat sheet metal blank against the press brake’s backgauge, a precision positioning component, ensuring the blank is aligned accurately to achieve the target bend angle. Next, the machine’s upper tool (called the punch) lowers to engage with the lower tool (the die), exerting controlled pressure to form the metal sheet into the intended angular shape. Small strips of tape are applied on the sheet surface to prevent scratches during the bending operation, a key step to maintain the aesthetic and functional quality of parts used in lighting assemblies. Meanwhile, wrenches and calibration tools are placed on the adjacent worktable, ready for any real-time adjustments to ensure the bent components perfectly match the design specifications of the lighting products.
