HD 1500 4000 CNC V Grooving Machine
The HD 1500 4000 CNC V Grooving Machine is a 5-axis four-side sheet metal grooving solution for stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum composite panels, copper and other metal sheets, with a 1500 × 3200 mm processing range and 0.4–2 mm sheet thickness capability.
Advanced 5-Axis Four-Side V Grooving for Precision Sheet Metal
The HD 1500 4000 CNC V Grooving Machine is designed for precision V-groove machining before sheet metal bending.
V-grooving removes a controlled amount of material along the intended bending line. This allows the following bending process to create a smaller outside corner radius, which is particularly useful for architectural panels, decorative stainless steel and precision sheet metal products.
The machine can process stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum composite panels, copper and other suitable metal sheets within its rated working range.
Why Choose the HD 1500 4000 CNC V Grooving Machine?
Five-axis CNC control, automatic tool-holder rotation and a three-tool cutting system create an efficient four-side grooving solution for precision sheet metal fabrication.
5-Axis CNC Control
Five independently driven servo axes support controlled tool movement, workpiece positioning and four-side grooving operations.
Automatic Tool Holder Rotation
The rotating tool-holder system allows different sides of the sheet to be grooved without manually rotating the workpiece between every machining direction.
Three-Tool Cutting System
Three cutting tools distribute the grooving load during machining, helping reduce workpiece deformation and support an efficient cutting process.
0.001 mm Display Resolution

Three-Tool V-Grooving for Controlled Metal Removal
The machine uses three cutting tools during the grooving process. Cutting load is distributed across the tools, supporting a controlled material-removal process and reducing unnecessary deformation of thin sheet.
The cutting depth and groove position are managed through CNC-controlled machine movement. After V-grooving, the sheet can be transferred to the bending process to form sharper decorative edges and smaller outside corner radii.
Five Servo Axes for Four-Side Grooving
The HD 1500 4000 CNC V Grooving Machine combines multiple servo-controlled movements with automatic tool-holder rotation to reduce manual sheet repositioning.
X-Axis Beam Movement
Servo-driven longitudinal beam movement uses precision reduction, rack-and-pinion transmission and linear guideways, with maximum travel of 3200 mm.
Y-Axis Tool Movement
Tool-holder lateral movement provides up to 1500 mm travel with a maximum speed of 50 m/min and specified positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm.
Z-Axis Cutting Depth
Vertical tool-holder movement supports grooving-depth positioning, with 50 mm maximum travel and specified positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm.
Clamping Movement
The clamping mechanism supports controlled sheet positioning during machining, with a specified U-axis maximum speed of 10 m/min.
Automatic Rotation
Automatic tool-holder rotation helps complete four-side groove processing while reducing the need to manually rotate large sheets.
Touchscreen Operation
CNC control provides machine-position information and parameter management for repeated sheet metal grooving production.
How CNC Four-Side V Grooving Works
The production process combines sheet positioning, clamping, CNC-controlled cutting and automatic directional changes for multiple-edge grooving.
1. Load and Position the Sheet
The metal sheet is placed on the worktable and positioned according to the programmed groove dimensions and processing requirements.
2. Clamp the Workpiece
End and side clamping devices hold the sheet during machining to reduce unwanted movement while the groove is being cut.
3. Perform CNC V-Grooving
Servo-controlled movement positions the three-tool cutting head while the programmed machining path creates the required V-groove.
4. Process Additional Sides
The automatic rotating tool-holder system supports four-side processing without requiring the operator to manually rotate the sheet for every grooving direction.
Applications of the HD 1500 4000 CNC V Grooving Machine
Precision V-grooving is especially useful where sheet metal parts require sharp bending lines, decorative appearance and controlled corner geometry.
