Aluminium Punching, Aluminium Bending, Aluminium Plasma Cutting & Aluminium Shearing explained…


Aluminium Punching

Involving massive degrees of force Aluminium Punching can produce great end results. Aluminium Punching can be used to either puncture the Aluminium or deform the Aluminium in the desired manner.

Our Aluminium Punching service involves using a great force to stamp threw the Sheet Aluminium and in to a die. The force required is massive and generated by hydraulic, pneumatic, or even electrical processes

Aluminium Bending

The most common form of metal work is the simple Bend. Often we don’t really think about Aluminium Bending as a form of Metal Fabrication, but it is. Aluminium Bending involves the use of a die in a similar way to punching, the metal is formed or Bent around the template that is the die. This is why the Aluminium Bending product will take the perfect shape every time.

Aluminium Plasma Cutting

The ability to cut threw metal in an instant is harnessed and utilised with our Aluminium Plasma Cutting service. The process of Aluminium Plasma Cutting is in theory quite simple. The Aluminium Plasma Cutting tool, sometimes called a gas axe cuts by melting the metal and blowing the molten metal away from the cutting area. Great heat and pressure is generated by inducing Plasma, this is done by arching a voltage across a mix of gas and air at high pressure. The result is an efficient and quick Aluminium Plasma Cutting tool.

Aluminium Shearing

The process of Aluminium shearing is generally used when working with Sheet Aluminium, and is similar to the process of using a pair of scissors. Aluminium shearing uses a blade that is held at an angle and is used to slice rather than chop, thus decreasing the surface area of the cutting edge resulting in a more efficient use of force.
