CNC bending
Making precision sheet metalwork look easy with metal forming tools such as our CNC press brake machines and rolling machines
CNC Bending/Press Brakes
We have 8 precision sheet metal bending machines on Constant's shop floor including new touch screen controlled Bystronic Xpert 100s, all programmed offline.
We also have rolling machines as part of our sheet metal fabrication facilities. This allows us to bend lengths on the shop floor from as small as a matchstick to 3 metres in lengths.
For jobs that require tight bending tolerances, we have a range of machines that are equipped with automatically controlled bending sensors. These allow precise and fast angle measuring throughout the bending procedure with the facility to make micro adjustments automatically, to keep the machine producing the desired angles to extreme accuracy.

Key Features
Offline Programming
Bending sequences programmed and visualised in 3D before reaching the shop floor
Fewer Weld Parts
Complex bends reduce reliance on multiple welded components, cutting assembly time
Extreme Range
From matchstick-small to 3-metre lengths — thinner-than-standard materials available as specials
About Our Press Brake Capabilities
Utilising up-to-date, 6 axis press brake technology, we can process simple parts to intricately formed precision components on our Bystronic Xpert 100s and TruBend 5130 machines. Our press brake machines have back stops completely independent of each other, which makes them ideal for bend lines that are on an angle or for parallel short stop edges, that are displaced to each other in the working plane.
Our suite of press brakes are equipped with 3D graphical display and programming; ideal for ease of CAD engineering where complicated folding sequences are taking place and need to be visualised before deployment onto the factory shop floor.
Case Studies
Machine Panel Cover
Formed on one of our new Bystronic Press Brakes, this machine panel cover involved a large radius bend, that otherwise would of been to be formed on a traditional roller, leaving a flat edge.
Metal Food Production Funnel
A 2mm stainless steel funnel, that involved precision programming and bending from start to finish to ensure tight fit and accuracy as it is integrated into a larger food production unit.
