Sheet Metal Fabrication
Sheet metal shops cut, bend, roll and form. XAIMC supplies shears press brakes plate rolls tube benders and fibre laser cutting across the manual to CNC range.
What Goes Wrong in This Work
- Edges cut out of square at the shear cost brake time to correct
- Bend angles that vary part to part show up as gaps at assembly
- Rolled shells with flat sections at the seam fight the welder
- Punch tooling for every new profile makes short runs uneconomic
What the Workshop Actually Needs
- Cutting and bending capacities that match across the shop
- Repeatable bend positions once batch sizes grow
- A route to complex profiles without tooling investment

Sheet Metal Fabrication Questions
Should I buy the shear or the press brake first?
Whichever is causing rework now. A shop with a good brake and a bad shear spends brake time correcting edges; the other way round, parts bend badly from square blanks.
When does a fibre laser replace shearing and punching?
When your profiles change often. Laser needs no tooling per profile, so short mixed runs stop being expensive.
How do I specify a press brake and shear together?
Give us the largest sheet you handle and the thickest material in your hardest grade. We size both machines from the same figures so they match.
