Aluminium Sheet Pressing

During air forming the workpiece springs back slightly when released from pressure as it attempts to.

Aluminium sheet pressing.

Maximum size is 3000mm or additional sheet can be welded together for a seamless look. Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin flat pieces. Mill finish self colour powder coating to any ral colour. When enough force penetration is applied the material reaches its yield point and permanent deformation of the metal begins to occur.

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. Discover all our calculation tools in the calculators section of the top menu. This action will force the flexane a rubber or urethane compound to push the sheet metal into the die.

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. Thicknesses can vary significantly. Extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf and pieces thicker than 6 mm 0 25 in are considered. Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal.

The anvil which is the piston like arm that exerts pressure on your materials. The tool can calculate the required bending force for bending aluminum stainless steel mild steel and weldox or strenx high strength steels. There are two options of finish. The air forming zone shows that when the press brake exerts pressure on the sheet the metal begins to bend.

All of our pressings are made of 2mm aluminium sheet as standard. 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 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.
