ROUTING AND FOLDING TECHNIQUEGeneral--ALUCOBOND ® composite panels can be shaped by means of asimple processing technique. This procedure, the routing and foldingtechnique, enables a variety of shapes and sizes to be manufactured.----V-shaped or rectangular grooves are routed on the rear of theALUCOBOND ® panels using disk or end milling cutters, whereby thealuminium cover sheet at the front and part of the polyethylene coreare retained. The small thickness of the remaining material then allowsfolding by hand. A brake press is not required. The groove shapedetermines the bend radius. The grooves can be produced with a panelsaw with routing device for ALUCOBOND ® , on a CNC machiningcentre, with a panel routing machine or a hand routing machine. Therouting and folding technique can be used for composite panels ofall standard surfaces.Routed / folded elementsAdvantages--The convincing advantages of the routing and folding technique are:--Minimum investment--Simple operating technique--Folding need not be done in the workshop, it can be done on site; thismeans low transport costs--Low-cost manufacture of shaped parts like façade elements, frames,fascia claddings and roof edgings, corner pieces and many more arepossible--Versatile formability--Good economy--Shapes are not restricted by machine dimensions.--Tension-free folding, therefore no buckling in the corner area and thuseven elements.Groove (V-shaped) for edges up to 90°Groove (V-shaped) for edges up to 135°Rectangular groove for edges up to180° depending on panel thicknessNot suitable for ALUCOBOND A2r = 3 mmr = 3 mmr = 7 mmImportant: With ALUCOBOND ® with anodised surface and ALUCOBOND ® with naturAL Reflect surface, theformation of micro-cracks leads to brightening in the edges.Edition 1ALUCOBOND ® Processing and Technical Data GB15
