Our Press Brake Services
We provide metal folding and bending solutions for a range of commercial, industrial and engineering applications.
CNC Press Brake Folding
CNC press brake folding uses computer-controlled machinery to bend sheet metal and plate into specified shapes and angles.
The process allows components to be formed with consistent dimensions, making it suitable for both individual parts and repeat production orders.
CNC press brake folding is commonly used to manufacture brackets, channels, enclosures, panels and structural components.
Sheet Metal Bending
We provide sheet metal bending services for customers requiring accurately formed metal components.
Sheet metal can be bent into different angles and profiles depending on the material thickness, component dimensions and required specifications.
Our sheet metal bending services are suitable for engineering, manufacturing, construction and fabrication projects.
Steel Folding
We offer steel folding services for mild steel sheets and plates used in commercial and industrial applications.
Steel can be formed into a range of profiles, including angles, channels, brackets and other fabricated components.
The appropriate bending method depends on the steel grade, material thickness and required bend radius.
Stainless Steel Bending
We provide stainless steel bending solutions for components used in industrial, commercial and manufacturing environments.
Stainless steel can be folded into specified shapes and angles, with consideration given to material properties, bend allowances and the required finish.
Applications include equipment components, enclosures, brackets and fabricated assemblies.
Aluminium Folding
We offer aluminium folding services for lightweight metal components used in engineering and fabrication.
Aluminium sheets can be formed into a variety of profiles, depending on the material grade, thickness and required bend specifications.
Bespoke Metal Folding
We provide bespoke press brake services for customers requiring components manufactured to individual specifications.
Whether you need a single prototype, replacement component or a batch of folded metal parts, we can discuss your technical drawings, material requirements and production quantities.
Press Brake Services for Different Industries
Our press brake folding services are suitable for a range of commercial and industrial sectors.
Engineering and Manufacturing
We provide metal folding solutions for engineering companies and manufacturers requiring accurately formed components.
Applications include machine parts, equipment housings, brackets, panels and fabricated assemblies.
Construction and Structural Steelwork
Press brake folding is commonly used to manufacture metal components for construction and structural steelwork projects.
These can include connection brackets, folded plates, channels, angles and other components manufactured to project specifications.
Metal Fabrication
We provide press brake services for fabrication contractors requiring folded metal parts for welding, assembly and further processing.
Components can be manufactured from supplied drawings and incorporated into larger fabrication projects.
Automotive and Transport
Press brake bending can be used to manufacture metal components for vehicle bodies, trailers, transport equipment and associated fabrication work.
Agricultural and Industrial Equipment
We provide metal folding solutions for agricultural machinery, industrial equipment and maintenance projects.
Applications may include guards, brackets, panels, supports and replacement components.
What Materials Can Be Press Brake Folded?
Press brake machinery can be used to bend a range of sheet metals and plates.
Common materials include:
- Mild Steel: Suitable for structural components, brackets, channels and general fabrication.
- Stainless Steel: Used for components requiring corrosion resistance and durability.
- Aluminium: Suitable for lightweight engineering and fabricated components.
- Galvanised Steel: Can be folded for various commercial and industrial applications, subject to material and coating requirements.
- Other Sheet Metals: May be suitable depending on the material grade, thickness and equipment capabilities.
The maximum material thickness, bend length and achievable tolerances depend on the machinery, tooling and component design.
What Are the Benefits of CNC Press Brake Folding?
CNC press brake folding offers several advantages for metal fabrication and manufacturing projects.
Accurate and Consistent Bending
Computer-controlled press brake equipment allows bend angles and positions to be programmed according to the required component specifications.
This helps maintain consistency across repeat production orders.
Suitable for Complex Profiles
Press brake folding can be used to produce components with multiple bends, angles and formed sections.
The achievable profile depends on the component geometry, tooling and machine capabilities.
Efficient Production
CNC programming allows bending sequences to be prepared and repeated, making the process suitable for both individual components and batch production.
Versatile Material Options
Press brake folding can be used on various metals, including mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
Reduced Need for Welding
Where suitable, components can be formed from a single piece of metal rather than assembled from multiple sections.
This can reduce the number of welded joints required and simplify fabrication.
How Much Do Press Brake Services Cost?
The cost of press brake folding depends on the material, component design and production requirements.
Factors affecting the overall price include:
- Type and grade of metal
- Material thickness
- Length and dimensions of each component
- Number of bends required
- Complexity of the bending sequence
- Required bend angles and tolerances
- Tooling and setup requirements
- Number of components required
- Material supply requirements
- Additional cutting or fabrication work
- Delivery and collection arrangements
Simple components produced in larger quantities may have a lower folding cost per item than complex, one-off parts requiring additional setup and programming.
We can review your drawings and specifications to provide a quotation based on the work required.
How Does the Press Brake Folding Process Work?
The process begins with a review of the customer’s requirements, including material type, thickness, component dimensions and quantities.
Technical drawings or CAD files are assessed to establish the required bend angles, radii and tolerances.
The appropriate tooling and bending sequence are then selected based on the component design.
During the folding process, the metal is positioned between a punch and die within the press brake.
The machine applies controlled force to bend the material into the required shape.
For CNC press brake folding, programmed settings help control the bending sequence and maintain consistent results.
Once folding is complete, components can be checked against the agreed dimensions and specifications.
Depending on the project, additional processes such as cutting, welding, drilling or finishing may be required.
