We undertake both
fine limit and heavy gauge sheet metal forming as well as
sheet rolling. Our primary brake presses are:
1
x Megoform 2m 50 Tonne CNC brake press. The Megoform
is perfect
for
smaller,
close tolerance, multi-bend components.
1 x AFM 3m 160
Tonne CNC brake press. The AFM press allows us to form
components
up to 3100mm long and deal with thicknesses up to 25mm.
We hold a large library of tooling suited for a wide
range of folds including heavy gauge and fine limit
forming. Tooling includes standard 90 dies as
well as specialist
dies for Dutch bending, radius forming and joggling.
Other specialist tools can be manufactured to
customer specification.
Sheet
rolling can be undertaken upto 1m wide and 2mm thick.
Below
are examples of the type of work we undertake.
