Performance Highlights
Key Advantages
Heavy-duty gantry rigidity, CNC servo precision and high-speed multi-groove programming — delivering flawless V grooves for sharp bending and premium surface finish.
Heavy-Duty Gantry Frame
Rigid gantry with cross-beam design eliminates vibration during high-speed grooving. FEA-optimized welded steel body maintains groove straightness within 0.05 mm/m across full 6000 mm sheets.
CNC Servo Precision Control
AC servo motors with C3 ball screws deliver ±0.001 mm accuracy on all axes. Automatic tool compensation ensures consistent groove depth across the entire working length.
High-Speed Multi-Line Grooving
Up to 99 groove lines per sheet with auto positioning. X-axis at 90 m/min and Z-axis at 30 m/min process a full 1500 × 6000 mm panel with 20+ grooves in minutes.
Perfect Bend Quality
Reduces bend-line thickness by up to 70% for sharp 90° bends with near-zero radius. Laser-sharp edges with no cracking or distortion — the gold standard for decorative panels.
Reduced Bending Force & Tonnage
V grooving cuts press brake tonnage by 50–70%. Thicker sheets bend on smaller brakes, extending equipment capacity and reducing capital expenditure.
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.
Not Sure Which Model Fits Your Sheet Size?
Our V grooving specialists will analyze your sheet dimensions, material type and groove pattern requirements to recommend the optimal machine configuration for your production needs.

How It Works
4-Step V Grooving Workflow
From CNC programming to perfectly grooved sheets — every stage is servo-controlled with automatic depth compensation and optimized tool paths.
1
Program & Setup
Create patterns on the CNC or import DXF files. Set positions, depth, angle and speed per line. Install V-angle insert and verify Z-axis zero.
2
Load & Clamp
Place the sheet on the worktable and align against stops. Pneumatic clamps secure the sheet flat. CNC confirms position before cycle start.
3
Groove & Cut
Gantry traverses at 90 m/min (X) while the tool plunges at 30 m/min (Z). ±0.001 mm servo cuts each groove to exact depth. Multi-pass for deep 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.
