Press Braking For A Range Of Metals

Press Braking For A Range Of Metals 1

Stainless Steel

Highly versatile and used in all kinds of products and industries including nuclear, water, pharmaceutical,  food processing, medical equipment, and architectural projects requiring corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. Our advanced laser and water jet cutting ensures precise finishings.

Carbon Steel

Ideal for structural and construction projects, including bridges, buildings, and heavy machinery as well as the oil and gas, transport, shipbuilding and rail industries. 

Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steels

High strength and corrosion resistance, this is used for petrochemical, marine, offshore and oil and gas industries and our water jet and laser cutting facilities provide accurate cuts.

Aluminium

Light weight and durable, aluminium is most often used in aerospace and automotive projects. Our state of the art laser cutting technology ensures accuracy for even the most intricate designs.

Nickel Alloys

Able to withstand high temperatures and extremely corrosion resistant. We provide high quality nickel alloys for use in heat exchangers, turbines and aerospace and nuclear applications

Yellow Metals

Processed with fibre laser cutting, ideal for automotive, chemical and architectural applications requiring malleability and a polished finish.

What is Press Braking?

Press braking is used to bend sheet metal accurately into specific shapes or angles to be used in the production of parts like brackets, panels and frames. It works by placing the metal between a punch and die on a press brake machine. The punch applies force and bends the metal over the die.

The Latest Press Braking Technology

We’ve invested heavily in the latest press braking technology and our machines include a laser angle measurement system (LAMS) an automatic, real-time angle measurement system that ensures accuracy during the bending process.

This provides you with a variety of benefits, including:

  • Compensation for material inconsistencies
  • Saves time by reducing the number of test bends required
  • Improves accuracy by consistently meeting the required angle across your entire batch
  • Reduces waste due to fewer scrapped or reworked parts

Delivering Quality Products With Precision For Decades

"P.P. Group offered a completely different approach to our standard manufacturing methods. Adopting the latest advances in CAD software and profiling technology helped us to reduce costs and dramatically increase profitability. I would highly recommend contacting one of their Sales team to discuss what benefits P.P. Group’s advanced CAD and cutting technologies can bring to your business."

“P.P. Group managed to profile and deliver 75 tonnes of parts within five working days, which enabled us to meet and exceed our project’s deadlines. In addition, we saved significant time on drilling due to 40 mm cut holes, provided by P.P. Group during this task.

This truly flexible and swift approach, enabled us to deliver all the tunnel cutting machines for the construction of railway lines on time.”

“P.P. Group was able to supply us with materials, to manufacture six stainless steel filters, for the waste water industry. Each of these filters was 14 m x 4 m x 6.5 m high, consisting of thousands of profiles/parts, which were laser and water jet cut, as well as rolled and pressed; in as little as just four months. Due to the short lead time of such a large order, the project won a recognised global award.”
