Sheet metal chassis examples from our factory in Fareham, Hampshire
CNC bending chassis plates
CNC bending chassis plates
Great image of our 2 Trumpf 7036 CNC press brakes here in Fareham, Hampshire in the process of bending chassis plates used in the lighting industry. These chassis plates have been CNC punched from 0.9mm thick mild steel and de-burred before being CNC bent here. The tooling used to bend the chassis plates is part of our standard bend tooling range so there was no tooling charge for our customer. The CNC bend program was also written at no charge to our customer making it a very flexible manufacturing method if design changes are needed from batch to batch. Each bend has been formed into the sheet metal at a time in a sequence that has been programmed into the machine. The sequence is repeated again and again until the batch is finished producing consistance results across the batch. These chassis plates were made in a batch of 250 and this type of work is typical of the sheet metal work that we regular manufacture for our UK customers. If you have similar sheet metal projects for chassis plates, boxes, covers, front panels, brackets etc we would be very happy to quote you for your prototypes and volume manufacturing or perhaps you need some help with your designs, please just give us a call.
Chassis waiting to be bent
Chassis for a light fitting
Mild steel chassis plate for a light fitting manufactured right here in the UK. The stand off dimples and the electrical knockout features as well as all the holes and outer profile were CNC punched on our Trumpf 3000R CNC punch press in one punching cycle and completely designed using Radan sheet metal software. The radiating pattern of obround slots was easily produced with the Trumpf’s rotating single head design. The chassis plate will be bent up and create the back of a larger fitting using LED lighting on one of our Trumpf 7036 CNC press brakes.
Audio electronics chassis
Audio electronics chassis components
Here we have a batch of sheet metal chassis components that will be used to house electronics for an audio company. The top face shows countersink forms that have been pressed in place rather than drilled. The finished chassis components were finally wet sprayed and silk screened.
