Metal bending is a process through which metal can be manipulated to alter its current shape. When bending the metal there are a number of safety tips to consider before, during and after the project.

Before completing the task make sure you’re:

• Wearing safety glasses at all times
• Wearing close-toed shoes
• Hair is tied back and loose jewellery is removed
• Wearing the appropriate safety gloves

Also make sure before operating any metal bending machinery that:

• Guards or safety devices have been removed and adjusted and returned once task is completed
• Working surface is kept free of dirt and debris
• Working parts have been lubricate i.e. hinges and knobs

During the process make sure that the proper signage is present to warn others that you are using the equipment and keep clear of moving handles. Some potential hazards while metal bending include:

• Sharp edges and burns
• Crush and pinch points
• Impact form handles and sharp points
• Electrical energy

When finished make sure the equipment is turned off with safety guard properly attached and that the work area is kept tidy and clean for the next person. Keeping in mind the safety considerations above will assist in the safety of you and others around you.

At WH Williams, our steel bending professionals are dedicated to the highest quality bending techniques which always result in precise finishes.

Tools and Technology

We boast extremely large bending spaces which are home to advanced machinery allowing us to handle lengths of up to 4,000 millimetres and apply a force of up to 320 tonnes. Three Trumpf press brake machines onsite are designed for items of varying sizes and complexity.

Our programming software allows rapid setup to occur during production to improve efficiency and minimise human error. We calculate the most suitable bending sequence and determine the correct tool combinations with possible collisions highlighted during an animated simulation of the bending process.

The bending team’s expertise is constantly added to our database to ensure ongoing accuracy of bending allowances and techniques, creating better value for our customers.

When it comes to sheel metal manufacturing, we at WH Williams aim to set the highest standards in laser cutting, folding, welding and more in Australia. Working with us means following a process that is efficient for our quality delivery and flexible for our clients. Step one is for clients to communicate their vision to us. They usually upload files or email them to us presenting their plan for their sheet metal manufacturing product. These can include but are not restricted to samples, sketches, templates, work instructions, hardcopy drawings or electronic files. Many file types can be imported into our system and stored on the computer network so if the same item is required again, it can be instantly located for manufacture or design modification. The second step is for us to provide clients with a quote. As a leading sheet metal manufacturing company in Australia, it is our aim to deliver high quality work that is also economical for our clients. The next step is to send our clients confirmation advice once we’ve received their purchase order. Our online portal makes the process as convenient and easy as possible and can also be accessed throughout the production period. Our experienced CAD engineers will then begin the design stage by interpreting our clients’ visions into 3D drawings, which are compatible with the production processes that follow. We work closely with our clients and communicate effectively to achieve the optimum results for them!
