Why choose SSC for your Folding?

The biggest reason to use SSC for your press braking is flexibility. We can manufacture virtually any part, size or shape at a relatively modest cost.

Our machines are manually fed, meaning a skilled operator is present watching progress and feeding metals, and basically ensuring that everything is running smoothly. This provides the most accurate pre-set dimension for the bend. We believe our press braking services are superior due to the technologically advanced machines we invest in, giving more diverse bend capabilities.

How do we do it?

SSC’s in-house press brake service is comprised of three highly efficient CNC press brake machines, including one 7 axis 170-tonne, one 130-tonne, one 80-tonne press brake. Press braking is an extremely useful production technique that has wide-ranging applications for various industries, from architectural and construction to engineering and transport.

Complex Press Brake Folding

A press brake allows for the bending of sheet metals. At SSC, our finest press is a 7-axis machine that is capable of performing complex folds within rapid time-frames, but also have the amazing flexibility of the other two press brakes to ensure we can meet the requirements of our customers. We meticulously analyse your technical design to ensure that your final product measures up to your requirements.

In the absence of an existing drawing, it is possible for you to work with our team to produce CAM or CAD designs that will prove to be compatible with our press brake. Where needed, we will make adjustments that will result in success. To deliver anything less than success is not in our makeup.

Where is Press Braking useful?

Press braking has a wide range of applications – basically, it is used wherever a dimension needs to be added to a flat plane of sheet metal. We see it being used across all industries and sectors, however most commonly for architectural builds, construction, engineering and transport.

Because press braking has such adaptable capabilities, it has the potential to take on those forming operations that require profiles for parts that are smaller than average, and may not be identical.

Using press braking for manufacturing parts is typically used to form parts for HVAC (heating, ventilation or air conditioning) systems and buildings components, which means that with the right tooling, we can use the machines a bit more diversely and creatively for certain applications.
