Aluminium Sheet Pressing

Pump arm of hydraulic jack to advance lower platen which rests on the head screw of the jack to press the die and metal padded with flexane against upper platen as far as it will advance.

When enough force penetration is applied the material reaches its yield point and permanent deformation of the metal begins to occur. The table plate or the flat surface that you place your work materials on.

A standard arbor press is made up of three basic components. During air forming the workpiece springs back slightly when released from pressure as it attempts to. The air forming zone shows that when the press brake exerts pressure on the sheet the metal begins to bend. Pieces of flat sheet metal typically referred to as blanks is fed into a sheet metal stamping press that uses a tool and die surface to form the metal into a new shape.

Mill finish self colour powder coating to any ral colour. This tool allows you to determine tonnage internal radius v die opening and minimum flange you just have to insert the characteristics of the sheet metal to be bent. Metal stamping is a cold forming process that makes use of dies and stamping presses to transform sheet metal into different shapes. Stamping includes a variety of sheet metal forming manufacturing processes such as punching using a machine press or stamping press blanking embossing bending flanging and coining.

An arbor press is a type of compact hand operated press used to install and shape small pieces of metal or similar materials. Stamping also known as pressing is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. The tool can calculate the required bending force for bending aluminum stainless steel mild steel and weldox or strenx high strength steels. The anvil which is the piston like arm that exerts pressure on your materials.

Extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf and pieces thicker than 6 mm 0 25 in are considered. All of our pressings are made of 2mm aluminium sheet as standard. Maximum size is 3000mm or additional sheet can be welded together for a seamless look. There are two options of finish.

Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin flat pieces. Hillman 12 in x 24 in cold rolled steel expanded sheet metal.
