• Measure and cut the materials to the correct size before bending.
• Inspect the material for defects before starting the bending process.

3. Quality Control:

• Check and verify the bend angle and dimensions of the material after each bend to ensure they meet engineering specifications.
• Use measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, or gauges to ensure accuracy.
• Perform visual checks for surface defects or imperfections.

4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

• Perform routine maintenance on the bending machines to ensure they are operating efficiently.
