We can produce circular discs in sheet metal using our Trumpf fibre laser and that is often the best solution to manufacturing this type of work. We can however CNC punch circular discs using a range of curved "banana" tools to produce circular profiles. This technique is particularly useful when faced with manufacturing sheet metal discs from materials that cannot easily be laser cut. Materials such as highly reflective lighting reflector materials, patterned sheet materials or pre-painted materials are all good candidates for CNC punching.

If you are looking to create sheet metal designs with more than one components you will need to use some method of assembly.  It could be a permanent method such as spot welding or tack welding. It might be an assembly that you need to remove at a later stage and then pop riveting or screwing maybe the solution. We can help you decide what's best for your design and offer price breaks accordingly.

V and F Sheet Metal are proud to have helped support a modern furniture manufacturer in Great Britain.  A new range of furniture needed different mild steel brackets, CNC punched and CNC folded.

If you don't want to buy tooling for you sheet metal project and you have designed a curved shape, multi-bending with a CNC press brake may be the answer.

Using a cleaver bit of CNC programming and the right combination of standard tooling V and F Sheet Metal can produce curved sections without the need for new tooling.  By stepping a small amount for each bend a curve can be produced.  This technique is ideal for small batches or trying out new designs.  

For more information on this production technique please give us a call (01489 577786) and we will be happy to discuss your project further and investigate your options.

There can be many advantages to using CNC sheet metal processes to aid manufacturing.

Firstly, the speed with which new projects can be prototyped and developed. Very often no special (new) tooling is needed whether components are going to be CNC punched or CNC folded. No tooling is required if sheet metal manufacturing is taking place with our Trumpf 3030 3KW fibre laser cutter.  This allows us combine the correct set of skills and techniques to the products that you have designed.

If you are looking for a new sub-contract supplier in Great Britain for your CNC manufactured sheet metal working projects then please give our team a phone call on (01489 57776). If however you would prefer to e-mail us (sales@vandf.co.uk) there's no problem with that.

We have over 30 years of experience in manufacturing sheet metal brackets here at V and F Sheet Metal. Our production machinery is ideal for producing small sheet metal parts like brackets, angles, plates, panels, boxes etc. The picture you can see here was taken through the viewing port looking into our Trumpf 3030 3KW fibre laser cutting 3mm thick mild steel.

This machine can easily go from job to job with virtually no set up time. This example is laser cutting some small brackets from material off-cuts saved over from a previous job. With software off-line and at the laser machine we can update CNC programs from full production sheets to part sheets, ideal for urgent small batches of work. 

To view additional examples of sheet metal brackets produced at V and F Sheet Metal why not  view Bracket and Angle Gallery.

You can view a video of our laser cutter in action, follow the link.

So in conclusion, if you have a sheet metal bracket that needs producing give us a call on 01489 577786 or e-mail us your drawings to sales@vandf.co.uk

Every day we receive a variety of inquires, some large scale, others smaller.  Whether you just need a few sheet metal prototypes for your new design or full production we are here to give you the help you need!  We use the latest methods of CNC punching and laser cutting to produce accurate sheet metal blanks. Working with our range of CNC bending machines to produce work from the simplest single angle to complex electronics chassis components. In addition to this we offer in house welding facilities,  all in all a comprehensive manufacturing service!

We have an expert team of trained sheet metal workers able to turn their hand to all sorts of projects. From welding aluminium housings, folding stainless steel enclosures, laser cutting brass and copper electrical components. You come up with it and we've seen it before!

The image shown here is a CNC punched zintec treated mild steel bracket. Using a particularly clever piece of tooling on our Trumpf 3000R we were able to produce the folded flaps at the same time as punching. The Trumpf multi-bend tooling works with a range of materials and thicknesses. It saves a lot of time and produces a very consistent bend.

So it's down to you now. Give us a call today if you have a  project and you want some advice and information on prices. We are always happy to look at current parts and offer valuable advice to help save you money. Perhaps we can manufacture your component using a different process which could potentially improve quality and save you some money.  Contact us on 01489 577786 or sales@vandf.co.uk.

Laser cut stainless steel

This week our Trumpf 3030 3KW fiber laser has been going great guns, hardly stopping between jobs!  The latest interesting project involved producing a batch of 300 laser cut brackets using stainless steel of 2mm gauge with a 4 thou plastic fiber laser coating. 

We are able to offer you a complete laser cutting service from 3D modelling, CAD/CAM program development, laser cutting and down stream production processes. Using Radan 2017 sheet metal CAD/CAM software we  take your 3D data in the form of STEP or SAT files. 2D drawings can also be acceptable of PDF files and we will calculate the correct developed blank sizes for you. Using advanced nesting algorithms we can experiment with different nesting patterns to produce the most parts from any given sheet. This technique helps to reduce costs at the quoting stage and speeds up production cutting times.

 If you have a project that needs some input from a friendly sheet metal company then we are here to help. We can look at your designs and suggest areas that can be improved with a view to saving you money. Always a great start! Just send us your drawings to sales@vandf.co.uk and we will be happy to take a look for you.
