Tube Bending for Solar Mounting Systems: Effectively Tackling Industry Pain Points

2025 07/28

In the manufacturing of solar mounting systems, springback deformation of metal tubes after bending has long been a critical issue affecting product quality. Brackets processed using traditional cold bending techniques often exhibit an angle deviation of 3-5 degrees after pressure release, leading to misalignment and stress concentration during assembly.

The latest solution from Zhangjiagang Heshun Machinery Co., Ltd. is highly innovative. They integrated an electric heating ring system into their tube bending equipment to precisely heat specific parts of the metal tube before bending.

The heated section cools and sets naturally after bending, fundamentally eliminating springback. This technological breakthrough significantly improves the overall installation accuracy and structural stability of PV mounting systems.

Heshun's R&D team also addressed the problem from the support aspect. Their bending processing device is equipped with an adaptive lifting support system. This system synchronously raises the support component as the sheet metal bends upwards during the process.

"This design effectively prevents deformation caused by the sheet's own weight, making it particularly suitable for processing large-scale solar mounting structures," stated the company.

Zhangjiagang Heshun Machinery Co., Ltd. also focused keenly on precision. Their bending equipment employs hydraulic-rod controlled press blocks working in coordination with a lateral bending mechanism. This setup secures the bracket while performing precise bending, preventing adhesion issues during processing and simultaneously enhancing forming accuracy.
