What does sheet metal working mean for modern industry?
In modern industry, sheet metal processing covers everything from material selection and cutting to forming, joining and surface treatment. An isolated service, such as cutting or joining alone, can solve a specific need. But coordinated sheet metal processing, where several processes are integrated, provides better control over, for example, project lead time and total cost.
When multiple processes are integrated and optimised as a whole, it ensures the right tolerances, shorter lead times and stable delivery precision - factors that are crucial in modern industry.
Cutting and shaping of sheet metal
Cutting and forming form the basis of sheet metal processing. It is at these stages that the material's properties are translated into functional parts with precise dimensions and the right structural strength.
At Stans & Press we are experts in cutting and forming sheet metal. With our flexible machinery we can handle a variety of machining projects, and for parts that require CNC-based machining in the manufacturing process, we can offer milling, drilling and tapping.
Laser cutting and sheet metal pressing
lasercutting is not only a technique to achieve precision in sheet metal cutting, but a versatile solution with many benefits. One of our main strengths when it comes to laser cutting of sheet metal is our versatility. We can laser cut materials like:
- Aluminium in different alloys
Also sheet metal pressing is a versatile method for processing sheet metal. At Stans & Press we offer eccentric pressing, which ensures smooth and reliable processing of the sheet metal at a constant speed.
Pressing and rolling of sheet metal
Edge pressing, also known as edge bending, is one of the most common ways to bend and shape sheet metal parts. At Stans & Press we can offer press braking in most material qualities, thicknesses and formats.
Sheet metal rolling is a method of shaping and processing sheet metal by pressing it between two rotating rollers. In industry, rolling is used for to mould sheet metal into soft, round profiles, but also to make it thinner or stronger.
Welding and surface treatment of metals
Welding is a widely used method in industry, used to join metals together. Welding technology can be used to create new structures or manufacture complex metal parts. At Stans & Press, we perform both manual and automated welding in steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
Surface treatment of metals such as steel and aluminium is an important process to strengthen the durability of the material and protect against corrosion, wear and other stresses. Working closely with specialists in surface treatment, we can offer a wide range of methods and solutions, carefully tailored to your specific requirements and applications.
From drawing to finished component
From the first drawing to the finished product, Stans & Press ensures an efficient and quality-assured process. Through close dialogue with the customer, the design, choice of materials and tolerances are examined to optimise the component for manufacture. Cutting, forming, joining and surface treatment are integrated into a coordinated flow.
We make sure to reduce lead times, improve cost control and ensure consistent quality. The result is finished components customised for demanding industrial applications.
