A quick preview of the main manufacturing facilities here at V and F Sheet Metal
CNC laser cutting
Using a Trumpf 3030 3KW fibre laser able to cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper. Maximum sheet size is 3M x 1.5M, please ask for thickness details as this depends on material type.
CNC punching
Using both Trumpf 200 and 3000 CNC punch presses to punch out all the same materials covered by laser cutting but also anodised reflector materials, pre-painted steels and plastic coated materials. Maximum sheet size is 3M x 1.5M, please ask for thickness details as this depends on material type.
CNC bending
Using both Trumpf 7036, Edwards Pearson and Guifil CNC press brakes to bend all the materials cut by laser cutting and CNC punching. Maximum bend length is 2.5M.
TiG and MiG welding
Using the latest Kempi equipment to TiG and MiG mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium sheet metal fabrications.
Spot welding
Spot welding facility with new machines being added early 2015.
Fly presses and drilling facilities
Used to pierce, drill and form all sorts of small brackets, sheet metal panels and lighting reflectors.
Insertion of sheet metal studs and bushes
Using a Haeger bush inserter in a range of sheet metal materials and thicknesses.
CAD/CAM
Using Radan software to 3D model complex and simple sheet metal work, create flat patterns and tool items with full production programs for laser cutting and CNC punching.
