bent panels is the &#8220;corner radius.<br \/>\nThe bending process inevitably creates an R shape in the bent area.<br \/>\nIn the case of normal bending<br \/>\nIn general, a radius of [board thickness x 2] is created.<br \/>\nFor example<br \/>\nIn the case of a 1.0 mm plate thickness, 1.0 mm disregards 2 = 2R<br \/>\nIf the plate thickness is 2.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 2 = 4R.<\/p>\n<p>The thicker the plate, the larger the radius becomes.<br \/>\nTherefore, there is a bending processing method in which the thickness of the bent part is made thinner by inserting grooves on the inside to prevent the radius from becoming larger.<br \/>\nIt is generally called planer bending or sical bending.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2377 size-full\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>In the case of butt-joining bent panels, a gap will inevitably appear because of the bending radius on both sides.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Butt_of_flat_cut_panel_type\">Butt of flat cut panel type<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, what happens when you use a cut panel without bending?<\/p>\n<p>Since it is not bent, the cut end is basically a right angle.<\/p>\n<p>The most commonly used material for this method is aluminum cut panel, which is about 5mm thick.<\/p>\n<p>In this column, I will introduce some examples of thin cut panels.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2379 size-full\"

titanium and stainless steel, the price of the base material is determined by the weight and unit price, so the thinner the material, the more cost effective it becomes.<\/p>\n<p>However, on the other hand, due to the thinness of the material, insufficient strength and shape defects may occur.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, there are products with very high performance adhesives and double-sided tapes, and some of them boast strength comparable to welding.<\/p>\n<p>Welding and bending are done in a factory, and it is very difficult to work on site, but with this method, it is possible to install on existing equipment, fixtures, walls, and ceilings.<\/p>\n<p>However, with this method, it is possible to install on existing equipment, fixtures, walls, ceilings, etc. It is relatively easy to install by cutting according to the measurements taken beforehand and obtaining the cut surface processed.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2380 size-full\"
