Accurate CNC folding for
production-ready parts.
B-WAKA Metals provides in-house folding and pressing for laser-cut components, repeat production work and fabricated assemblies from our Auckland workshop.
From flat components to formed parts.
Folding is a key part of turning laser-cut sheet and plate into finished fabrication components. Keeping forming in-house allows parts to move directly from cutting into the next production stage.
Our CNC-controlled press brake and tooling range support repeatable bends across mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, subject to material grade, thickness, bend length and geometry.
Material and bend-length capability.
Longer bends are generally available on thinner material, while heavier plate is subject to reduced length and geometry.
General fabrication & production
Precision formed components
Lightweight folded components
Multiple tooling options for different bends.
Tool selection depends on material, thickness, bend radius and component geometry.
V-Die Range
Multiple V openings allow us to review a range of bend requirements and material thicknesses.
Punches & Radius Tooling
Different punch profiles and radius tooling can be selected based on the finished bend requirement.
- Multiple punch profiles
- Radius tooling for formed components
- Tool selection based on bend geometry
Cut and form through one production path.
Repeatable Bends
CNC control helps maintain consistent bend locations and angles across repeat components.
Less Handling
Laser-cut parts can move directly into forming without an extra supplier handover.
Better Coordination
Cutting and folding can be considered together before production begins.
A straightforward process.
Send Drawings
Provide material, thickness, bend details and quantity.
Tooling Review
We assess bend geometry and machine suitability.
Fold
Components are formed on the CNC press brake.
Next Stage
Parts are prepared for collection, delivery or fabrication.
Give us the bend information upfront.
Clear bend details help us assess tooling and folding suitability accurately.
