Metal Components Cutting and Forming Processes Low Volume

What processes are used for creating sheet metal products CBM members do these processes Low Volume For 2D components. • Punch press / turret press high speed punching op. • Alternative Laser cutting (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) Can be programmed to cut any shape. No tools needed. • Or • Water Jet Cutting A water jet cutter , is a tool capable of slicing into metal using a jet of water at high velocity and pressure, or a mixture of water and an abrasive substance. There is no heat affected zone. • Press brake forming V raise folding ops. • Both ops use standard or low cost tooling. • Max length of components in UK 5 metres long. • Up to 5mm thick. 1 company in UK does 10mm LATEST DEVELOPMENT • Bystronic are laser cutting 1mm thick cr4 mild steel at 22m/min on a 6kw Co2 laser and at 45m/min on a 3kw fibre laser.

Press Brake and Folding Process press brake , also known as a brake press , is a machine tool for bending sheet and plate material, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching punch and die. CBM have members who do this process.

Examples of Metal forming in Construction The £193m Library of Birmingham towers over Centenary Square in the heart of the city with capacity to accommodate more than three million visitors a year, The Birmingham Selfridges store, designed by architects Future Systems, is covered in 15,000 spun aluminium discs.
