3 Major Types of Sheet Metal Machines
Sheet metals are being used in almost all tool manufacturing industries in the form of raw materials to produce finished products. But, these metal sheets are first produced from various metals, and the process of manufacturing sheet metals is known as sheet metal machinery. Sheet metal machinery involves several types of machines out of which we are going to cover three major types.
Deburring Machines
These machines are used to remove the sharp edges and/or burrs from the surface of metal sheets. Certain projects that need beautiful finish and perfect edge rounding on the metal sheets make use of deburring machines. Common metals that use deburring machines are aluminum, copper and steel (both mild and stainless).
Power Press Machines
Power press machines are used to press, cut and bend a workpiece in order to achieve the desired shape. Based on the type of the end product, different power presses are applied. These machine tools are made of high-quality cast iron and steel. The power press machines can be categorized as C-type, pillar type and hydraulic power pressure machines.
The hydraulic power pressure machines use hydraulic pressure for functioning. All modern-day power press machines use advanced mechanical and electrical parts.
Hand-operated Machines
The pressure of hand-operated machines can be controlled by the user. A good example of hand-operated machines is manual goldsmith press where the user can apply as much pressure as needed for the project. Manual sheet metal machinery are generally used automobile and engineering workshops.
In order to achieve desired thickness, metal sheets are rolled through metal plate rollers. You may find a wide range of high-strength sheet metal machines and plate rollers in Johannesburg at competitive prices only at Springs Industrial Machinery (SIM).
