Press Braking – High-Precision Folding

Jun 17, 2025

When it comes to metal fabrication, accuracy doesn’t end with cutting. Folding and forming are just as critical in ensuring your components are functional, consistent, and production-ready. That’s where our advanced Amada 170-ton press brake comes in – delivering precision folds across a wide range of materials and part profiles.

Expert Folding with the Amada 170-Ton Press Brake

Our press brake boasts a 3-metre bed length and high tonnage capacity, allowing us to handle everything from small brackets to large panels with ease. Whether you need tight angles, multiple folds, or complex shapes, our setup provides:

  • Fast and accurate folding
  • Tight tolerances for repeatable results
  • Exceptional quality across prototypes or production batches

Thanks to our large stock of tooling and years of hands-on experience, we can accommodate a wide variety of folding requirements. From mild steel and stainless to aluminium and other alloys, we tailor each fold to your specific drawings and tolerances.

Precision Backed by Experience

High-spec machinery is only half the equation – the real value comes from the skill of the operator behind it. Our press brake is run by an expert technician who understands the subtleties of material behaviour, spring-back, and fold sequencing. That means we don’t just deliver folded parts – we deliver parts that are right first time.

Flexible for Any Project Size

Whether you’re developing a one-off prototype, scaling up for a production batch, or need custom components for a bespoke project, we have the capacity and capability to support you.

We work closely with each customer to review drawings, recommend best practices, and ensure smooth handover from design to delivery.

Contact us today to discuss your press braking and folding requirements. Let’s turn your designs into precise, production-ready parts.
