Quality, Repeatable, Forming Services
Metal forming in Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and the UK
Our two Guimadira CNC programmable press brakes allow us to achieve a high degree of consistent accuracy in press forming of our sheet metal fabricated products. These machines allow us to quickly change from job to job and still maintain quality. This saves time and possible operator error as individual information does not need to be input each time we form a product part. Furthermore, it ensures accuracy from one production batch to the next. The two machines have allowed us to improve our sheet metalwork and fabrication facility here in Nottinghamshire. The CNC programmable nature of the machines allows us to drop CAD data straight from the design stage onto the machine itself. This further increases manufacturing and forming accuracy.
Metal forming and bending, is an integral and very important part of sheet metal fabrication at our factory here in Nottinghamshire. Without the facility to accurately and consistently form sheet metal fabrications we would not be able to achieve the high quality of products required by our customers. A testament to our consistent quality and accuracy is the many repeat order we receive and the longevity of our customer base, some who have been trading with us for over twenty-five years.

- Bending Capacity (kN): 1350
- Max. working length (mm): 3000
- Throat depth (mm): 400
- Motor power (kW): 15
- Approach speed (mm/s): 150
- Working speed (max.) (mm/s): 10
- Return speed (mm/s): 100
Our smaller machine is the PM6020 from Guimadira.
- Bending Capacity (kN): 1350
- Max. working length (mm): 2000
- Throat depth (mm): 400
- Motor power (kW): 15
- Approach speed (mm/s): 150
- Working speed (max.) (mm/s): 10
- Return speed (mm/s): 100
Our press brakes allow us to bend pre-cut materials cut by 3rd party laser cutters if required. We are pleased to offer our press brake bending services to those who may have pre cut metal in need of forming.
We are also pleased to offer our cut and bend service for those who do not have pre cut material. For this service we can offer both our press brake bending, and our Salvagnini panel bender. With the panel bender, we can only offer cut and bend services due to the calculation of the bends required for that machine.
Our Salvagnini P2 natively combines productivity, with its automatic bending and handling cycles, and flexibility, with its universal bending tools. It has the following capabilities:
- Maximum length of incoming sheet (mm) – 2495
- Maximum width of incoming sheet (mm) – 1600
- Maximum diagonal that can be rotated (mm) – 2500
- Maximum bending force (kN) – 330
- Maximum clamping force (kN) – 530
- Maximum bending length (mm) – 2180
- Maximum bending height (mm) – 203
- Minimum thickness (mm) 0.4
- Maximum thickness and bending angle steel, UTS 410 N/mm2 (mm) – 3.2 (±90°) / 2.5 (±120°) / 2.1 (±135°)
- Maximum thickness and bending angle stainless steel, UTS 660 N/mm2 (mm) – 2.5 (±90°) / 2.1 (±120°) / 1.6 (±130°)
- Maximum thickness and bending angle aluminium, UTS 265 N/mm2 (mm) – 4.0 (±120°) / 3.5 (±130°)
- Average Consumption (kW) – 3.0
