What is Metal Punching, Metal Bending, Metal Plasma Cutting and Metal Shearing?

Metal Punching

The art of Metal Punching involves the production of a die and a punch. In Metal Punching the punch takes the form of a cast, a positive impression of the desired shape, and the die the female image of the shape – like a mould or imprint. The die and mould are then used with great force and pressure to either puncture the Sheet Metal, or deform the sheet metal in the image of the die and punch set.

Metal Bending

The first and most important part of the Metal Bending process is the production of the die. The die is often a jig like arrangement that acts as a template in the Metal Bending process and insures that for each item under going the Metal Bending procedure the final product identical.

Metal Plasma Cutting

Cutting metal can be a labour intensive and time consuming task. The process of Metal Plasma Cutting can take a great deal of time and effort out of this task. Put simply Metal Plasma Cutting equipment uses the heat produced in the creation of Plasma combined with the high pressure of the bottled gas and/or air to melt the metal and then blow the molten metal away from the cut. Metal Plasma Cutting gives the impression of cutting with out the effort required to physical cut threw the metal.

Metal Shearing

The simplest way of explaining the process of Metal Shearing is to imagine a pair of scissors. Sheet Metal is griped while an angled blade is forced into the metal which cuts with a slicing rather than a chopping motion. Metal Shearing sheet metal uses a tool called a guillotine to accurately and cleanly slice threw the sheet metal leaving a clean cut.
