What is Press Brake Bending or Forming?
A press brake, also known as a brake press, is a machine tool for bending sheet and plate material, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching punch and die. Bending process; typically, two C-frames form the...
What is Pressing and Stamping?
The Presswork process is a key element of various manufacturing businesses including car manufacturing. Even though plastics are widely used, they do not always offer the same strength or versatility that metal can and that’s why metal presswork is still key. The...
What are the Different Types of Welding Processes we Offer?
TIG – Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) TIG welding also goes by the names of Heliarc and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). With this type of welding, the electrode is non-consumable and made of tungsten. It is one of the few types of welding that can be done with no...
What is Metal Fabrication?
Metal fabrication is a critical part of the manufacturing process. From paperclips to plane parts, it’s used to create a wide variety of products. Metal fabrication is an essential step in creating everything from hardware and tools to car parts and pipes. Although...
What is Resistance Spot Welding?
Resistance Welding is a thermo-electric process where heat is generated at the interface of the parts to be joined by passing an electrical current through them or a precisely controlled time and under a controlled pressure (also called force). The name...
What Material Thickness can be Laser cut?
We have recently invested in an Amada FO11 3015 4.0KW Laser, allowing us to cut up to 20mm mild steel at a much faster pace. Capabilities below;
Why use Laser Manufacturing Process Over Presswork?
Laser cutting can be used for producing flat blanks of almost any shape and its versatility lends itself to applications in a wide variety of industries from model making to shipbuilding but one of its most important features is its ability to produce blanks without...
Metal Punching Services – A Machine Breakdown
A Punch Press is a computer programmable power press which can be programmed to punch and form shapes from sheet metal materials. In lighter gauge materials the use of a punch press can result in a cheaper alternative of product manufacturing when compared to “hard...
