What is Press Braking?

Steel press braking, also known as steel bending, is a precision metal forming process used to transform flat sheet or plate into accurately shaped components. Following the cutting process, the material is positioned onto a V-shaped die while a CNC-controlled punch applies pressure, forming the steel to the required angle or profile with exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

 

At SM Thompson, we operate three CNC press brake machines with capacities of 100 tonnes, 400 tonnes and 500 tonnes, capable of bending material up to 4,000mm in length. Our advanced equipment enables us to produce a wide range of components and bend radii, from simple angles and channels to more complex fabrications such as concentric and eccentric cones, square-to-round transitions, lobster backs and digger buckets.

 

Whether you require a single bespoke component or a larger production run, our experienced team can provide a precision steel bending solution tailored to your exact requirements.
