The advantages of bending at lasered components
With unmatched accuracy and speed, Lasered Components are unequivocally positioned as the unparalleled frontrunners in the realm of sheet metal bending in Essex.
Sheet Metal Bending
The sheet metal bending process, known by various names such as forming, folding, edging, flanging, and die bending, involves deforming sheets to give them a bend or fold. This process essentially transforms a flat piece of metal into a bent shape or a metal part with a different form or function.
Predicting Bends
Advanced software aids in predicting the appearance of parts after each bend, considering variables such as flange length, material thickness, required radius, and potential impacts on features near the bend line.
Our dedicated team have a wealth of experience which is invaluable in anticipating and addressing challenges for customers like awkward shapes or collision risks during the bending simulation.

CAD Services
Professionals within our Lasered Components Draughts team can visualise and predict the outcome of folds through a combination of hands on experience and using drawing software to measure all part dimensions. STEP files are preferable however, we understand that not all customers have access to skilled Draughts people therefore we offer our support in all aspects from samples to the final design.
Up to date technology plays a key role in supporting our Operators through the bending process, ensuring the accurate execution of planned designs. Both teams work seamlessly together to ensure our customers receive parts that are accurate, and drawn to their specifications.
Tool Selection
Selecting appropriate punch and die tooling is vital for achieving design specifications. Tools are chosen based on factors like required radius, tonnage limitations, and minimising deformation, especially for parts with cut outs. Our dedicated Sales team ensure that any cut outs near the bend zone are highlighted to our customers well in advance of any folding taking place.
Sheet metal bending process involves careful planning between those designing the parts, and those operating our Trumpf press brakes. We continue to invest in new tooling, to expand the array of choice available on offer to our customers.
