A method for forming a metal beam may comprise: clamping first and second portions of the metal beam in a substantially fixed and in a position whereat the metal beam is rotatable about three axes; applying a net bending force to the clamped second portion of the metal beam at a predetermined angle; sensing twisting of the second portion of the metal beam resulting from the net bending force; and modulating the angle at which the net force is applied to reduce the twisting of the metal beam. As a result, the net bending force is moved toward the shear center and toward being along the principal axis of the metal beam.

Method for forming a metal beam or stringer

An apparatus for bending metal beams and methods of using the same are provided herein.

Stringer forming device and methods of using the same

An apparatus for bending a metal work piece, the apparatus including a press support frame and a bending anvil disposed on the press support frame. A clamp press can be mounted to the press support frame, the clamp press positioned to selectively clamp the work piece over the bending anvil when the work piece is positioned on the bending anvil. A bending press unit can be mounted to the press support frame, the bending press unit including a bending roller oriented to engage the work piece during a bending operation when the work piece is clamped over the bending anvil. The bending press unit is operable to move the bending roller with respect to the press support frame in a first direction and a second direction, the first direction being substantially perpendicular to the second direction. A method of bending a metal work piece with the bending apparatus.
