Aluminium sheet metal workers manufacturing in the UK – 2019

Simple aluminium sheet metal frame starts out as a laser cut blank. Producing the parts by laser cutting gave us the opportunity to produce nice clean inner and outer edge profiles. The parts were cut on our Trumpf 3030 fibre laser machine using pure nitrogen to a clean edge cut. The laser cut blanks required virtually no edge de-burring.

Being a small part the aluminium sheet metal frames were perfect for bending on our Trumpf 7036 CNC press brakes. We make so many small sheet metal parts that we have 3 of these small productive machines. They can cope with work up to 1M long but are mainly in the work shop to produce all the smaller brackets, channels, trays etc.

We have common CNC press brake tooling across these small press brakes and our larger 3M Safan CNC press brake. This enables us to move work around in the work shop to suit our customers order requirements.

Trays like these demonstrate just how easy it is to manufacture sheet metal components with standard tooling. Powerful CAD/CAM tools and a wide range of CNC punching and bending tools makes it easy for us to accommodate your design ideas. Interested in talking to sheet metal workers based in the UK with over 30 years’ experience. Send us your drawings and we will be happy to produce quotes of chat through your designs. Please send your drawings to sales@vandf.co.uk or call us on 01489 577786.
