Meeting demand for arched and curved aluminium frames has become a priority for many fabricators and installers. Projects with character features or heritage requirements often rely on structural components that follow traditional forms, yet still need consistency, speed and accuracy.
At Sheerline Bespoke, our in-house profile bending service delivers this through advanced bending technology that allows us to produce perfectly curved frames at scale. Central to this capability is our state-of-the-art TIM-ING profile bending machine, designed for great precision and repeatable quality.
What sets our profile bending machine technology apart?
Our bending process is built around machinery manufacturing principles that focus on high drive torque, precise control and a wide range of applications. The TIM-ING machine plays a very significant role in enabling efficient bending processes for cold bending of profiles of various shapes, including arches, curves, circles and gothic arches.
Its reinforced construction and three electric engines deliver a combined torque of 2,453 Nm across all three axles, giving maximum flexibility when working with structural elements such as flat bars, sashes and wider aluminium profiles up to 120 mm in height.
Each frame is manufactured from high-grade aluminium for structural integrity and long-term performance. The TIM-ING machine offers some of the most advanced bending technology for aluminium profiles in the world, ensuring consistent results with every aluminium frame that is precision-engineered.
How does the bending process ensure consistent, high-quality curved frames?
Several key steps and main components work together to achieve reliable results:
3D camera guidance
Integrated 3D cameras monitor every movement enables it to be automated for efficiency to ensure repeatable quality, providing real-time data that supports precise control throughout such bending processes.
Programmable control panel
Operators use a digital display and intuitive control panel to set parameters for different machine types and different shapes, supporting proper training and optimal performance.
Cold bending method
Cold bending avoids stress points and allows the final product to retain strength, a crucial role when manufacturing frames used in both heritage settings and modern builds.
This combination ensures each frame meets exact specifications, whether for decorative production, structural components or various applications across the aluminium window and door market.
Why does advanced bending technology matter for fabricators and installers?
A recent industry trend shows a continued rise in demand for arched aluminium windows as homeowners seek character-led designs that still deliver energy efficiency and durability. According to the latest UK home renovation insights, interest in heritage-style features has grown year on year across both rural and urban regions.
Our in-house bending machines support this shift by offering:
- 10 distinctive architectural styles, including arches, curves, circles and gothic arches
- Stepped, contemporary or no sash options
- Flush or standard outerframes, including small, intermediate and large variants
- Standard, custom or dual colour finishes, including woodgrain foiling
By keeping the entire process under one roof, we deliver fast lead times and consistent quality, ensuring installers receive products ready for straightforward, accurate installation.
Where does this technology make the biggest difference?
- Heritage refurbishments
- Contemporary builds with custom design requirements
- Projects needing unusual radii or complex shapes
- Applications involving varied profile sizes and structural demands
Whatever the brief, the precision of our profile bending machine ensures dependable results every time.
Key takeaways
- Our TIM-ING profile bending machine provides high drive torque and great precision for a wide range of applications
- 3D camera systems and a programmable control panel guarantee repeatable, accurate bending
- In-house manufacturing shortens turnaround times and maximises consistency

FAQs
What profiles can be formed using your profile bending machine?
Our TIM-ING profile bending machine can cold bend aluminium profiles up to 120 mm in height, including sashes, T-profiles, flat bars and wider structural components used in window and door fabrication.
How do you maintain accuracy across different shapes and sizes?
The machine’s 3D cameras, high drive torque and digital control panel work together to provide precise control, ensuring repeatable results for arches, curves, circles and gothic designs.
Do curved frames affect installation times?
No. Because all curved frames are fabricated in-house with consistent bending technology and checked throughout the process, installers receive products ready for straightforward fitting with no onsite adjustments needed.
