Why is v-grooving necessary for metal sheets?
![]() |
![]() |
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.
GSTM vertical back&forth 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. And it's widely used in the metal fabrication.

The dual-head vertical grooving machine has a grooving speed of up to 120 m/min, a repeatability of ± 0.02 mm, and is compatible with various plates such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Hydraulic automatic clamping system, 15 inch industrial touch screen with one click programming, assists in efficient and precise pre bending processing.

Vertical structure
The Vertical V Groove machine with two heads adopts a frame structure and a low-alloy, high-strength structural steel worktable. The integrated bottom film is formed in one go and can be processed on the mirror plate without leaving any marks; The whole machine is tempered in an electric furnace to eliminate welding stress, and is clamped and formed in one go through an imported CNC machining center to ensure that each installation surface is parallel and perpendicular; Sandblasting treatment to ensure coating quality; When working, the knife holder remains stationary, and the sheet is driven to move by the feed. The groove depth and groove distance are precisely controlled, and the overall rigidity is excellent, durable and stable.

Double tool holders
The vertical V grooving machine with two heads adopts a dual tool holder design to achieve back and forth processing, fully utilizing the return time and power, and increasing the efficiency of thick plate processing by 50%. Each tool holder is equipped with three knives, evenly distributing the cutting amount and reducing the risk of workpiece deformation. Support the selection of micro cooling devices to extend tool life and reduce costs; The universal tool clamping interface is compatible with both white steel and alloy knives, meeting various processing needs and ensuring efficient and stable production.
Workbench surface
The vertical reciprocating cutting machine adopts a carbon tool steel worktable. After high-frequency quenching, the hardness reaches 55-60HRC, much higher than stainless steel, effectively preventing scratches and deformation, ensuring the flatness of the worktable is ≤± 0.03mm, improving V-groove accuracy and extending equipment life. Equipped with dense pressure feet and hydraulic system, the clamping force is stable and reliable.


High precision transmission
The vertical high-speed groving machine is equipped with a full servo motor and planetary gearbox, which provides high torque, high precision, low energy consumption, and rapid 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.
