Sheet Metal Bending

A true one-stop profiling shop, orders are delivered complete and ready for assembly with sheet metal bending services.

Procuring quality and accurate parts has never been easier with a comprehensive range of in-house profiling services.

Sheet metal bending, also known as profile bending or press forming, combines operator skill and quality tooling to deliver the consistent quality downstream assembly teams need. At The Laser Cutting Co., ergonomic and efficient machines allow operators to achieve superior quality for customers.

Operating  press brake machines to meet a range of project and material requirements. Sheet metal forming capabilities extend to 3100mm width with up to 125-tonne force. TLC suite of CNC brake press machines are capable of both high volume and high complexity profiling.

Complete Metal Profiling

Sheet metal forming uses a brake press machine to apply bends on a range of metals including mild and stainless steels, and aluminium. Combining the latest metal pressing technologies, including dynamic crowning and laser measuring, delivers exceptional bend accuracy. The Laser Cutting Co. maintain a program of continuous investment to ensure its metal profiling service is second-to-none:

Extensive range of quality tools

Highly skilled operators

Laser angle measuring

Die and panel forming capabilities.

With a dedicated CAD team, we use the latest software to support you from the design stage. The old adage, measure twice and cut once, is an essential part of the design process. TLC team ensure parts are correct, accurate, and on time.

Benefits of Press Braking

One of the key benefits of sheet metal bending is the reduction, or eradication in many cases, of joining processes such as welding. As a result, bending delivers greater part strength and simplified assembly.

Outsource to avoid machinery investment

Tooling is expensive to maintain

Low to medium volume projects don’t justify stamping tools

Talented brake press operators can be hard to find

Enormous profiling flexibility.

Press brake operators are able to produce a wide variety of part geometrics, fast and with high repeatability. Press forming capabilities are of considerable use to product developers in particular. This level of profiling complexity also cuts down on part weight, reducing storage and transportation costs.
