As the name implies, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) punching is a very reliable means of literally 'punching' shapes in sheet metal using a programmable machine. The programme creates a precise range of co-ordinates to punch the required shape.
We specialise in Mid-High End Quality with a large proportion of our client base in the retail industry. Our in-house services include CNC Punching, CNC Folding, Laser Cutting, Mig & Tig Welding, Stainless steel brushed and mirror polished brass and plating.

CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) folding is a manufacturing process that is carried out by a CNC machine and CNC press brakes and is also referred to as CNC bending. The press brake machine used in this process has a bending force of 32 tonnes so is capable of bending sheet metal work with ease.
Laser cutting is mainly a thermal process in which a focused laser beam is used to melt material in a localised area. A co-axial gas jet is used to eject the molten material and create a kerf. A continuous cut is produced by moving the laser beam or workpiece under CNC control.
MIG and TIG welding are common types of welding with a number of similarities, as they both use an electric arc and a shielding gas. However, there are a number of differences between the two processes, including with the welding electrodes used to create the arc. MIG uses a solid wire that is machine-fed to the weld area while TIG uses a non-consumable electrode and a hand-held filler rod to form the weld.
On stainless steel, a mirror finish is a highly-polished commercial finish characterised by a bright, shiny and reflective surface. You'll most commonly find it in aesthetic pieces, such as public architecture, tapes and furniture.
Plating is a manufacturing process in which a thin layer of metal coats a substrate. This can be achieved through electroplating, which requires an electric current, or through electroless plating, which is in autocatalytic chemical process.
Powder coating protects the roughest, toughest machinery as well as the household items you depend on daily. It provides a more durable finish than liquid paints can offer, while still providing an attractive finish.
