Metal forming and folding
We form sheet, plate, tube, angle and box section in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. The forming cell runs two shifts a day, with operators cross-trained across machines to hold lead times when demand swings. Ring +44 (0)1795 479284 or send a drawing pack to discuss your parts.
Machines, tooling and what they can do
The forming work centre combines CNC press brakes, section rollers and plate rollers, run by operators with deep experience across each machine. The tool library is extensive, holding both air-bend and bottoming dies. That lets us produce standard 90-degree folds, corrugations, roll beads, crush folds and more complex geometries without outsourcing tooling or losing control of the finish.
Capacity, angle accuracy and tolerances
Press brake capacity handles 3mm mild steel folded at 90 degrees across a 3-metre length. Both press brakes are fully CNC, so we verify angles down to 0.5-degree accuracy as part of standard procedure. That combination of machines, tooling and operator skill is what lets us hold tolerance on formed parts across a full production run, piece after piece.
