Types of sheet metalworking
Minifaber, for years recognized as one of the excellence for sheet metalworking, is able to produce any type of shape in press-folding. The experience of years and the use of high quality machinery for sheet metalworking, allow us to perform complex processes and offer innovative solutions.
Minifaber is able to perform the following types of sheet metal working:
- Sheet metal punching
- Sheet metal laser cutting
- Sheet metal welding
- Mold production
- Metal blanking
- Metal sheet bending
- Metal surface treatments
- Metal assemblies
- Cold metal stamping
Sheet metal punching
Among sheet metal working, Minifaber can perform any metal punching operation, simple or complex. We can performpunching work on a wide selection of metals: iron, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass and special alloys. We do sheet metal cutting or drilling, producing precise and quality finished products.
Sheet metal laser cutting
Minifaber carries out any type of metal laser cutting, from the simplest to the most complex: four punching machines capable of cutting sheets up to 1250x2500 mm. This sheet metalworking can be done on aluminum, steel and stainless steel.
Sheet metal welding
Minifaber performs several types of sheet metalworking, including welding processes on various metallic and aluminum alloy surfaces as well as on stainless steel and iron. Specifically, we can perform:
- MIG welding
- TIG welding
- resistance welding
- projection welding
- robotic MIG and TIG welding
- laser welding
Mold production
Due to its experience in sheet metalworking, Minifaber designs and manufactures dies in-house for cold forming of metal alloys. Thanks to its fleet of machines and technical team, the company can custom design the mold to meet specific customer requirements.
Metal blanking
Among sheet metalworking, Minifaber performs iron, aluminum, copper, stainless steel and special alloys blanking with the highest precision and up-to-date technologies. Metal stamping is done by shaping the sheet metal with punches, which deform and cut, and molds to give the shape.
Metal sheet bending
In sheet metalworking bending a machine, called the bender, exerts pressure on the flat plate by a mold, to obtain various shapes. Sheet metal bending can be used on metal surfaces to obtain finished semi-finished products. Minifaber can bend aluminum, steel and stainless steel, iron and copper.
Metal surface treatments
Minifaber is engaged in operating surface treatments on metals upon request. This sheet metalworking is effective in increasing metal strength and durability.
Metal assemblies
Minifaber is in the business of assembling metal components and to make finished products. Our company supplies tested and certified assemblies, semi-finished and finished products, even the most complex ones.
Cold metal stamping
Minifaber carries out in-house sheet metal stamping from start to finish. We take care of the digital design of the molds up to the actual stamping and production of the finished or semi-finished product as required by the client.
How do we approach sheet metalworking process?
Our company works closely with clients to understand their needs and develop a product that fully reflects their goals. The first stage involves an interview to analyze the needs. In the second phase, our technical team is in charge of studying the feasibility and choosing the most suitable machinery and types of sheet metal working. After that, the actual processing, testing of manufactured products and delivery to the customer starts.
Sheet metalworking tools and machinery
Different tools and machines can be used in the sheet metalworking process. A first distinction can be done between hand tools and power tools. Hand tools include iron saws, drawing pins, blind riveting pliers, pliers, hammers, shell irons, file pistons, ejector pistols and so on. Power tools include clinching machines, drills, percussion drills, orbital, belt and random orbit grinders, soldering irons, lasers and so on.
