Product Overview
Vertical Clamping Design. Precision V Grooves. Maximum Versatility.
The KAVDO Vertical V Grooving Machine (ProGroove HSVC Series) features a vertical sheet-clamping design that delivers precision V-shaped grooves for sharp, crack-free bending. The vertically clamped sheet is grooved by a horizontally traversing tool head, combining high efficiency with excellent groove quality on stainless steel, aluminum, copper and mild steel from 0.4 to 8 mm thick with ±0.01 mm accuracy on all axes.
Ideal for workshops seeking high-precision grooving with efficient space utilization. One machine replaces manual scribing and reduces press brake tonnage requirements by up to 60%.
- Vertical clamping design for efficient space utilization
- CNC multi-line programming — dozens of grooves per cycle
- ±0.01 mm precision on X, Y and Z axes
- Sheet thickness 0.4–8 mm with X-axis speed 90 m/min
- Quick-change carbide tooling for 30°/45°/60°/90° groove angles
Performance Highlights
Key Advantages
Vertical clamping design, CNC servo precision (±0.01 mm) and high-speed multi-groove programming — delivering flawless V grooves for sharp bending on sheets up to 8 mm thick.
Vertical Clamping Design
Sheet is clamped vertically against a precision reference surface, allowing the tool head to traverse horizontally. This unique design provides efficient space utilization and natural gravity-assisted chip clearance during grooving.
CNC Servo Precision Control
AC servo motors with C3 ball screws deliver ±0.01 mm precision on all axes. Automatic depth compensation on the Z-axis ensures consistent groove depth from the first cut to the last across the full working length.
High-Speed Multi-Line Grooving
Program up to 99 groove lines per sheet with independent depth, angle and spacing. X-axis at 90 m/min and Z-axis at 30 m/min with auto-sequenced cutting paths minimizes cycle time and maximizes output.
Flawless Bend Quality
V grooves reduce bend-line thickness by up to 70%, enabling razor-sharp 90° bends with near-zero inside radius. No cracking, no distortion — perfect surface finish on decorative stainless steel and aluminum panels.
Reduced Bending Force
Pre-grooving cuts press brake tonnage by 50–70%. Thicker sheets bend on lighter brakes, extending your existing press brake capacity without additional capital investment.
Material & Cost Savings
No welding or polishing on grooved bends. Near-zero scrap from cracked bends. One operator replaces manual scribing, saving 60–80% on labor costs per panel.
Need Help Choosing Between Vertical & Gantry Models?
Our V grooving engineers will evaluate your sheet sizes, production volume and workshop layout to recommend the best-fit machine — vertical for compact spaces, gantry for large-format sheets.

How It Works
4-Step V Grooving Workflow
From CNC programming to perfectly grooved sheets ready for bending — every step is servo-controlled with automatic depth compensation.
1
Program & Setup
Create groove patterns on the CNC touchscreen or import DXF files. Set groove positions, depth, angle and speed for each line. Install the correct V-angle carbide insert.
2
Load & Clamp
Position the sheet vertically against the reference surface and activate pneumatic clamps. The CNC confirms alignment and sheet presence before cycle start.
3
Groove & Cut
The tool head traverses at 90 m/min (X) while the tool plunges at 30 m/min (Z). ±0.01 mm servo cuts each groove to exact depth. Multi-pass for deeper grooves.
4
Unclamp & Bend
Clamps release, grooved sheet removed. V grooves guide the press brake for 50–70% less force and sharp, crack-free edges every time.
Customize Your Machine
Optional Equipment
Tailor your vertical V grooving machine with a range of optional accessories to maximize efficiency, sheet handling capability and operational convenience for your specific application.
Sheet Support
Foldable Supportor

- Adjustable height & position
- Quick deployment & retraction
Material Handling
Back Support Device
Rear-mounted support device that stabilizes the sheet from behind during vertical clamping and grooving. Prevents sheet deflection and vibration, ensuring consistent groove depth and surface quality on long sheets.
- Prevents sheet deflection
- Improves groove consistency
- Suitable for long & thin sheets
- Easy height adjustment
Clamping System
Hydraulic Clamp
High-pressure hydraulic clamping system that securely holds sheets in the vertical position with uniform force distribution. Provides stronger, more reliable clamping than standard pneumatic systems for thicker and harder materials.
- Uniform clamping force distribution
- Handles thicker & harder materials
- Stronger than pneumatic clamping
- Automatic pressure adjustment
