Simple designs are often the most attractive. This sentence can explain the application of curved panels in home furnishing well, and it also makes people's aesthetics more diverse. Many home furnishing companies have begun to explore new materials and technologies, and bring the new experience "art + quality + practicality" to consumer.

Next, JYC High Frequency will share with you the production of curved panels that are often used in the whole house customization, compare a small, modular plank bending tool with a mass-produced, one-step curved panel press-former.

Traditional tools and methods for bending wood

Generally, Traditional methods for bending wood basically be divided into the following three types:

1. Steam box bent wood

Preparation: Prepare the steam box. The steam box can be a wooden box or a PVC pipe, and needs two holes to pump steam, control internal pressure and drain water.

Set up a shelf. Fix the nail at the interface of the curve and the straight line to form an effective clamp for shape fixing.

Processing: heating wood. According to the thickness of the wood, steam for 1 hour more for every 2.5 cm thicker.

Take out the wood and start to operate to bending. Quickly put the heated wood on the shelf, and carefully bend it to a fixed position according to the desired shape to avoid cracking of the wood until the wood is dry.

2. Multi-layer veneer glued, pressed and bent

Preparation: The required wood need to longer than the preset length value, and marks before cutting, to distinguish different woods. Cut along the edge of one of the straight grains of the board for a nicer and more stable bend.

Adopt a cork pad as an intermediate layer to fixing of two layers of planks, and it can also eliminate irregularities in the shape of the sawn timber and make the curved surface smoother.

Multi-layer bonding: Use a roller to spread the special glue on the curved surface on the wooden board evenly, and bond the cork interlayer to the wooden board.

As soon as possible place the wood on the prepared formwork or on a fixed rack before the glue dry, followed by another glued wood strip. Repeat this process until the desired thickness you need, and finally fix between the panels.

3. Notch cutting and press method to bend wood

Preparation: Cut notches or curves 2/3 of the thickness of the board, each cut should be the same depth and distance from the other.

Bending and pressing: bend the board in one direction, fill the gap in the curved mouth with glue, and at last bend the board to the desired arc.

veneer lamination: paste the veneer or other decorative materials on the surface to hide cuts on the wood surface.

modern technology of bentwood - one-step bending wood forming

Both the industrial revolution and the scientific and technological revolution have brought a significant impact on traditional industry, and at the same time brought a qualitative leap in industrial technology. Mechanized and streamlined production equipment and production technology make up for the uncontrollable quality of the way of the manual fixture and have higher efficiency. At the same time, it also makes the batch customization of curved panels a reality and promotes the vigorous development of customized home furnishing in recent years.

In the way of industrial mechanized production of bentwood, the medium heating method of high-frequency heating is widely known, and then there are hot oil presses, cold presses, etc. The “one-step bending wood forming" technology of JYC has helped many home furnishing companies produce high-quality products, which stable, mass production of curved panel household products

Features of JYC High-Frequency Bending Wood Press Machine:

1. High-frequency low-heating at the same time inside and outside of the materials, the glue is quickly curing;

2. Energy saving and environmental protection;

3. Low cost of wooden molds, low heat loss, easy to replace;

4. One HF generator drives two, one for work and one for material preparation, higher efficiency

5. High bending and shaping yield and do not rebound.

Production range

It is suitable for gluing and bending thin boards, veneers, density boards（MDF）, plywood, etc. It can be used for manufacturing office tables and chairs, sofa armrests, keel beds, board furniture headboards, bending parts of musical instruments, curved panels for cabinets, etc.

The upgrading of individual needs of consumers in the home furnishing industry, as well as other market factors, are promoting the innovation of traditional hand-made manufacturing techniques and the upgrading of modern machinery production technology.
