Press Brake Folding for your Project

Are you looking to take your metal fabrication to the next level? A press brake is the ultimate tool for precise and efficient metal folding, for one off and production work. Whether you’re crafting custom brackets, machinery guarding, or intricate structural components, a press brake delivers unmatched precision and versatility.

With our CNC press brake, we can create/fold quality components for engineering projects in such industries as construction, Landscape, manufacturing, just to name a few. Outsourcing this process is far more cost effective than investing in expensive equipment and having to train staff. Let’s build something great!

Why Press Brake Folding?

  • Cost-Effective: Reduce waste and labour costs by automating complex bending tasks.
  • Exceptional Accuracy: Achieve perfect angles and folds every time.
  • Time-Saving Efficiency: Streamline production with repeatable results, reducing manual adjustments and rework.
  • Versatility: Handle a wide range of materials and thicknesses, from thin sheets to heavy plate.

What is Press Brake Folding?

Smartweld’s sheet metal folding services involve a metalworking process used to bend or shape sheet metal into specific angles or forms using a press brake machine. It involves placing the sheet metal or plate between a moving top blade and stationary die to form the shape required. The top blade is normally hydraulically driven and applies pressure, forcing the metal into the die to achieve the desired bend or fold.

Advantages of Press Brake Folding

  • Customizable top blades and dies for diverse applications.
  • High precision and repeatability.
  • Can handle various materials and thicknesses.

Applications of Press Brake Folding

  • Creating formed parts for structures, and enclosures.
  • Manufacturing brackets and metal supports.
  • Shaping components for mass production where repeatability in key.

This process is crucial for producing durable and accurately shaped metal components.
