Precision Hemming for High-Volume Manufacturing

Robotic roller hemming is a critical process in closure assembly, directly impacting structural integrity, cosmetic quality, and dimensional performance.

MBE Hemming Systems Support: Doors — Hoods — Decklids — Liftgates — Mixed-material Closures

Each system is engineered to maintain repeatable gap & flush performance under real production conditions — not just initial validation.

Steel, Aluminum & Mixed-Material Hemming

Modern vehicle programs increasingly incorporate lightweight materials to improve efficiency and EV range performance.

Hemming aluminum and mixed-material closures requires:

  • Controlled roller pressure

  • Multi-pass forming strategies

  • Surface protection considerations

  • Springback management

  • Adhesive coordination

MBE systems are engineered to accommodate material-specific characteristics while maintaining cosmetic integrity and dimensional stability.
