What happens here
Steel sheets are bent and formed using large hydraulic press brakes, including 150-ton and 350-ton machines. An operator carefully positions the metal sheets, which can be up to 1 1/2 inches thick (including AR400 material for high-strength applications), into the press. The machine then applies immense pressure to create precise bends and curves, shaping components like the snowplow's moldboard. This process requires skill to handle the heavy materials and operate the powerful machinery.
Goal: Bend and shape heavy gauge steel sheets into curved components such as moldboards.
