CNC Folding Service

Leading CNC Folding Provider in Queensland with more than 21 years of experience, cutting edge technologies and a rich history of working with the biggest companies.  Our Press Department is equipped with the latest Trumpf Bending robot and six-axis brake presses, allowing us to fold simple and complex components.

Shortest Lead Time For Folding Projects

Our lead time has been reduced from over 14 days on average to just 7 business days, due to extra capacity made by our bending robot.

Automated Bending with Trumpf Bend Cell 5000 Robotic

Fully Automated for high volume work ensuring shorter lead-times for job efficiency and accuracy and will also connect to our STOPA (large-scale storage systems) system for automated storage, loading and unfolding).

• Customization options: With our multi-axis programmable CNC back gauging, crowning, and angle control, we can handle complex parts and achieve your desired specifications
• Fast turnaround: Our efficient processes and skilled team allow us to deliver your projects promptly without compromising quality
• Minimal thermal distortion: The CNC folding process minimizes heat-related distortion, ensuring your parts maintain their intended shape and dimensions

The Top Eight Factors that Affect Your Bending Cost

1. Material Selection: The type of material you choose significantly impacts costs. Material thickness, formability and bending characteristics will affect the cost of the project. 
2. Design Complexity: The intricacy of your design affects machining time and costs. More complex designs require advanced tooling and longer processing times, leading to higher costs.
3. Bend Radius and Tangents: Opting for standard bend radii and ensuring adequate bending tangents can lower costs. Custom bends may require additional processing, which can increase project expenses.
4. Volume of Production: Larger production runs can reduce the cost per unit due to economies of scale. When the fixed costs are spread over more units, the overall expense per part decreases significantly. Specially with our Bending robot that would be more cost effective.
5. Machining Time: The total time required for machining directly correlates with costs. Longer machining times increase labor and operational expenses, so optimizing designs to minimize machining time can lead to savings.
6. Surface Finish Requirements: The desired surface finish can also affect costs. Higher-quality finishes often require additional machining steps or post-processing treatments, which can increase the overall project cost.
7. Labor Costs: Skilled labor is essential for CNC bending projects, and labor costs can vary based on the complexity of the work and the expertise required.
8. Tooling and Equipment: The type of CNC machine used, along with the necessary tools and their wear rates, impacts costs. More advanced machinery may offer better precision but at a higher price point.
