V-grooving, also known as V-cutting, is a process for cutting grooves in flat sheet metal and serves as an auxiliary step to shearing and bending. After V-grooving, the sheet has clear reference lines for shearing and bending; following the bend the fillet can be removed to achieve a true right-angle bend.
V-grooving is an auxiliary forming operation: at the intended bend line special equipment and tooling cut a V-shaped groove so the material can be bent more easily and the outer bend radius is minimized. The bent part is then formed on a press brake or manually. The V-groove’s depth, width, and angle are determined and controlled by the cutter geometry and the cutting/feed depth during the grooving operation.
GSHM horizontal high-speed v grooving machine is a professional v grooving equipment, which is applicable to all metal plates, such as stainless steel plates, copper plates, aluminum plates, galvanized plates and so on.

Horizontal structure
Horizontal grooving machine is based on a horizontal gantry frame, and the machine base and crossbeam are tempered by an electric furnace to eliminate welding stress, ensuring high rigidity and stability of the machine tool; The overall rack undergoes CNC precision machining for one-time clamping, ensuring that the installation surface is parallel and perpendicular; Low alloy, high-strength steel countertops are processed by self planing to be flat and smooth. During processing, the plates remain stationary to avoid wear and tear, making them particularly suitable for precision machining of decorative and mirror finish plates.
Integrated tool holder
Horizontal V Cut adopts an integrated tool holder and a fully automatic self-lubricating system. The tool holder moves up and down synchronously for lubrication, effectively reducing friction loss and extending service life; Unique four blade distribution design, evenly distributing cutting amount, reducing workpiece deformation; Optional micro cooling device can further extend tool life and reduce production costs; The universal tool clamping interface supports the exchange of white steel tools and alloy tools, meeting various processing needs and assisting in high-precision, efficient and stable production.
Front clamp
The Horizontal V Cut machine is equipped with an extended movable presser foot, which can achieve more stable plate fixation during pre cut corner workpiece processing; The entire machine adopts a hydraulic balanced clamping system, combined with high-precision guidance and position measurement, to achieve adjustable material pressure and reliable clamping, and protect the board surface in all directions; The hydraulic circuit is equipped with an accumulator compensation and adopts a motor no-load starting mode, which not only saves energy but also stabilizes the oil temperature, ensuring long-lasting and efficient operation.
High precision transmission
The Horizontal V Cutting machine is equipped with a fully servo motor and driver, which has high torque, high precision, low energy consumption, and fast response; The crossbeam transmission adopts a double guide rail structure of grinding helical gears and high-precision helical racks, with stable and efficient variable frequency speed regulation, achieving high-speed chip feed and stable processing, and meeting various processing needs, significantly improving production efficiency.
