Frequently Asked Questions
Press braking is a metal forming technique where a press brake machine bends sheet metal using a punch and die. It’s vital in industries like automotive and manufacturing for shaping precise components with specific angles and bends. By adjusting parameters like force and tool positioning, operators achieve accurate results. Press braking is efficient for both mass production and prototyping due to its versatility and ability to create complex shapes.
Press braking provides numerous advantages. It enables the precise bending of sheet metal, allowing for the creation of intricate shapes with high accuracy. This process is versatile, suitable for both mass production and prototyping, thus offering cost-effectiveness by minimising material waste and reducing the need for additional machining. Press braking also offers flexibility in handling various materials and thicknesses. Additionally, it ensures consistency and repeatability in producing components, making it indispensable in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
The laser tube cutting machine even cuts complex contours effortlessly and without actually touching the tube producing a scratch free component. Due to the high edge quality of our laser cut tubes, there is virtually no refinishing required.
Compared to conventional processes such as sawing, drilling or milling, our tube laser cutting service enables you to increase productivity, therefore reducing costs and lead times for all your laser cut parts.
