The whole thing is going to happen at your shop. You’re going to take their requirements, which they provide from engineering drawings, and make something they can sell without them having to micro-manage the details. This will be extremely quick and easy for you if you have all the necessary machine tools to complete each part of the job. The 12 types of machinery used in metal fabrication and the turret punch press machine are one of them. We provide a list of items below.
Sheet Metal Cutting Tools:
These tools are used to cut the metal sheets into smaller pieces as per the required dimensions. Some of the popular sheet metal cutting tools are power shears, guillotine shears, hand shears, and nibblers.
Power Presses:
A power press is a machine that uses dies to stamp or cut out shapes from sheets of metal. Power presses can be either mechanical o hydraulic.
Hydraulic Press Brakes:
A hydraulic press brake is a machine that bends sheet metal. This machine uses a hydraulic ram to apply pressure to the die, which in turn bends the metal. Examples of objects that can be made using a hydraulic press brake are boxes, pans, and brackets.
Punch Presses:
A punch press is a machine that uses a die to create holes in sheet metal. The die is mounted on a ram, which is activated by a hydraulic or mechanical system. Punch presses can also be used to cut, emboss, and form sheet metal.
Plate Bending Rolls:
Plate bending rolls are machines that are used to bend or roll metal plates. These machines come in a variety of sizes and can be either manually operated or hydraulically operated.
Power Hammers:
Power hammers are tools that are used to shape metal by hitting it with a hammer. These hammers are powered by either air or electricity.
Milling Machines:
Milling machines are machines that are used to remove material from a workpiece. These machines can be either manually operated or computer controlled.
Lathes:
Lathes are machines that are used to shape metal by spinning it around a central axis. These machines can be either manually operated or computer controlled.
Drilling Machines:
Drilling machines are machines that are used to drill holes in a workpiece. These machines can be either manually operated or computer controlled.
Boring Machines:
Boring machines are machines that are used to enlarge or ream existing holes in a workpiece. These machines can be either manually operated or computer controlled.
Grinding Machines:
Grinding machines are machines that are used to grind a workpiece. These machines can be either manually operated or computer controlled.
Welding Machines:
Welding machines are machines that are used to weld two pieces of metal together. These machines can be either manually operated or computer controlled.
These are just some of the machines that are required for fabricating metal. If you have all of these machines in your shop, you will be able to complete any job that comes your way. Contact us today to learn more about our fabrication services.
