Press Brake Forming

Metal Forming Services

Precision press brake forming for complex, high-quality metal components

BERMO delivers advanced metal forming services using a large fleet of CNC press brakes, extensive tooling resources, and skilled operators capable of producing complex shapes with accuracy and repeatability. Our forming department supports everything from prototypes to high-volume production runs, helping customers achieve shapes that stamping or other methods cannot cost-effectively produce.

Expertise in Complex Press Brake Forming

Customers often come to BERMO with challenging geometries such as multi-bend components, long parts, or shapes that demand tight tolerances. Our advanced CNC press brakes, combined with offline programming and experienced forming technicians, allow us to produce these complex parts consistently and efficiently.

We routinely form:

  • Multiple-bend components
  • Large or long parts
  • Tight-tolerance shapes
  • Complex profiles that require skilled sequencing

This capability is enabled by both our equipment and the extensive forming knowledge within our team.

Press Brake Forming Services at Bermo

Powered by CINCINNATI CNC Press Brakes

BERMO operates 18 CNC press brakes from CINCINNATI, giving us exceptional forming capacity and production flexibility. This large equipment base allows us to support high-volume demand while maintaining short lead times and fast turnaround. Our depth of equipment ensures we can match the right press brake to every job.

Our forming department benefits from:

  • A broad range of tonnage for both small and heavy-gauge parts
  • Bed sizes up to 12 feet for large components
  • 6-axis back gauges for precise positioning and repeatability
  • Multi-shift operation to support customer schedules
  • Skilled operators experienced in complex forming sequences

Extensive Tooling Resources

One of BERMO’s biggest strengths in forming is our large inventory of stock press brake tooling, allowing us to handle a wide range of bend radii, angles, and profiles without long lead times.

Additional advantages include:

  • In-house tooling support for modifying or creating special dies
  • Quick adaptation for unique part requirements
  • Reduced downtime waiting on tooling suppliers
  • Greater flexibility across material types and thicknesses

Our tool room gives us the ability to solve forming challenges internally and respond quickly when engineering adjustments are needed.

Offline Programming for Accuracy and Speed

BERMO uses offline programming to optimize bend sequences before the job reaches the machine.
This approach:

  • Reduces setup time
  • Ensures tool selection and sequencing are correct before production
  • Improves first-piece accuracy
  • Shortens lead times for both prototypes and production runs

Offline programming also supports consistency across multiple shifts and operators.

High-Volume Capacity With Consistent Quality

With 18 press brakes, multi-shift operation, and a team skilled in both manual and CNC-controlled forming, BERMO can support production volumes ranging from small runs to long-term, high-volume programs.

This flexibility helps customers consolidate suppliers and reduce bottlenecks — especially when forming is part of a larger workflow that includes laser cutting, stamping, welding, or assembly.
