Sheet Metal Press Braking

Press Braking

Press braking is a significant part of the entire metal fabrication process and it is crucial that any press brake service is offering a combination between the highly trained operators and precise machinery capable of delivering high-quality bends. Ensuring quality and accuracy in all press braking services is at the core of our operations. At MJ Patch Engineering we have in excess of half a century of press braking experience which has contributed greatly to the many different metal fabrications we have delivered to clients over the years.

Our experience includes processing plate and stainless steel, which are commonly used materials in the industry. We pride ourselves on producing the most accurate metal pressings which can be used in a number of different applications. Our advanced tooling allows for high-precision bends, and we also handle aluminium and brass as part of our material capabilities. We process a wide range and range of materials, including different grades and thickness of metals, to meet diverse project requirements. Our flexibility enables us to handle various size and complexity of projects, serving industries such as construction, transport, and architecture. We deliver high-quality results to customers across the UK, with production efficiency and maintained standards throughout every project. The benefits of using our press braking services include meeting specific requirements and needs for each client, ensuring the best possible outcome. We are also able to supply materials for your projects.

Our press braking facility is ideal for mass producing multiple products on repeated runs. Additionally, we operate some of the largest press brake machines, capable of handling large or thick materials for demanding applications.

What Are Press Brakes?

Press brakes are machines that are used as a means for bending sheet metal in a variety of ways and angles. Press braking is commonly used across industries such as engineering, construction, commercial architecture, automotive, and agriculture due to its versatility. Typically, a length of sheet of steel will be placed on an angled die, and a punch will then press down onto the sheet, working in conjunction with the die to bend the metal to the desired angle. The way the press brake works is by applying controlled force through the punch and die to reshape metal plates according to specific designs.

The thickness of the material is a critical factor, as it determines the amount of force required and may require adjustments along the length to ensure accurate, repeatable bends. At MJ Patch Engineering we use both electric and hydraulic presses, and the technology we use allows us to specify the right amount of pressure to achieve a certain angle. The machine ensures precision and efficiency in every bend. Our advanced press brake machines feature CNC controls for high accuracy, safety, and repeatability. Through the bending process, we can create custom metal profiles tailored to client specifications.

In order to fabricate an endless possibility of shapes, MJ Patch is equipped with a wide variety of dies including
