Our metal folding division is designed to save you time and cost with fast setup times, changeover between jobs and speedy machines optimising productivity. Our machines are designed to meet your product and business requirements, including an even fold across the entire length, complex profiles and delicate materials. Precision Laser Cutting are experts in folding sheet metal.

We have a range of the latest CNC Folding machines. From top of the range Amada HDS series machines with hydraulic servo drives for greater accuracy, speed and reduced power consumption to the new Bystronic high speed Xpert 40 folding machine. See our drop down list for types and capabilities.
Accurate folding of complex profiles including tapers is ensured with eight programmable axes. Automatic table crowning makes sure that each fold is even across the full length, eliminating the tendency for the ends to fold more than the centre of the sheet.
Amada quick change tooling with hydraulic clamping means maximum flexibility to cope with short run production. We have invested in a large tool library to ensure we can bend the most complex profile with ease.
Our Amada pressbrakes also feature interchangeable back-gauge fingers that can be matched to the requirements of your job, increasing accuracy on delicate or complex jobs.
They also have integrated angle measuring devices, if the folded angle is not right first time it tells the CNC control to compensate, ensuring that the next part is perfect. Both machines are linked to our design office to eliminate the downtime of programming at the machine

Extensive Tooling Library
With our hydraulic tool clamping and segmented top and bottom tools we can fold complex one off parts or high volume production efficiently.
Integrated angle measuring ensures part accuracy by transferring measured angle direct to the CNC controller for angle compensation.
