Rounding

Sheet Metal Edge Rounding

Better coating performance starts at the edge

Rounding is used to create a defined radius on sharp sheet metal edges. It removes sharp cutting edges and creates a smooth transition between surfaces.

Key benefits

Why manufacturers round edges before coating

Improve handling safety of sheet metal components

Prepare edges for painting and surface treatment

Remove sharp edges after laser, plasma or other cutting processes

Produce visually appealing and precisely finished components

Reduce the risk of damage to protective coatings around the edge

Why edge rounding matters

Improve coating coverage

A rounded edge also allows for more uniform application of paint or protective coatings. This is particularly important for components exposed to corrosion, where sharp edges can be critical areas with insufficient coating thickness.

Higher productivity, consistent quality

Mechanized rounding with N.KO Machines enables a consistent radius to be produced along the entire edge while significantly reducing the need for manual grinding. The result is higher productivity, consistent quality and reduced operator workload.

Significant savings in time, manual labor

The main benefit of the technology is significant savings in time and manual labor, especially when processing long edges and large volumes of sheet metal components.
