Press braking of sheet metal
Press braking of sheet metal
Alumbra Tunnplåt can offer press braking in thin sheet metal such as steel, aluminium, stainless steel, or aluzinc. For small components, advanced sheet metal work and folding are often required. Sheet metal products are used for several purposes. This may involve sheet metal products for construction or small sheet metal parts in industrial components.
Manufacturing of sheet metal products
Our semi-automatic bending machine, Salvagnini, is specialised in performing hems, radii and other advanced sheet metal details at lightning speed. The flagship of the press brake department’s modern and extensive machine fleet—which also includes 13 press brakes from 40–230 tonnes, of which 4 are robotised—our latest investment is a Trumpf Trubend press brake cell and a Trumpf 5000. Alumbra Tunnplåt has both the expertise and the machinery to manufacture advanced sheet metal details.
How press braking of sheet metal works
To shape a strong material such as sheet metal, special methods are required to preserve the material’s strength. This, combined with components whose design is both attractive and practical. A primary technique used in shaping sheet metal parts is press braking. This is a method specifically designed for lighter metals.
Press braking is one of the most flexible methods in today’s industry when it comes to bending sheet metal. Because press braking has been so well adapted to thinner sheet metal parts, its flexible design can be fully utilised.
At Alumbra Tunnplåt, we have solid technical expertise in press braking and can participate at an early stage of the project to make production adaptations, from prototype to production.
We regularly invest in our operations to increase product quality and shorten lead times. We have a complete machine fleet for press braking of sheet metal products—from simple to complex sheet metal parts.
We continuously strive to improve and optimise our capacity, organisation and customer relations. All to deliver clean, durable results.
