Sheet metal press

Sheet metal presses are a key tool in the metalworking industry. Used to bend and shape sheet metal into precise shapes, these machines are essential for a wide range of applications, from industrial manufacturing to crafts. Continuous innovation and technological advancement have allowed the development of different types of presses, each suitable for specific needs and sectors.

Types of sheet metal presses

Among the various types of sheet metal presses offered by Krollit, we find different options that adapt to every specific processing need:

• Workshop presses: ideal for processes that require high precision and control. The workshop presses they stand out for their versatility and are suitable for both professional and hobby use.
• Industrial presses: intended for use in large-scale production contexts, the industrial presses they offer robustness and reliability, managing complex processes with ease.
• Manual rack presses: for those looking for a more controlled and detailed option, the manual rack presses they represent an optimal choice, offering precision in the finest processes.

Choose the right sheet metal press

To choose the right sheet metal press, it is important to consider a number of key factors that influence both the performance and adaptability of the machine to your specific needs. Here are some aspects to take into consideration:

• Function and type of processing: First determine whether the machine will be used for punching, cutting, stamping, bending or riveting. This will influence the type of press best suited to your needs.
• Part dimensions and tonnage: Consider the dimensions of the pieces you will machine and choose the dimensions of the work surface and the opening height of the press accordingly. Also define the tonnage of the machine based on the type of material, the thickness and the type of processing to be performed.
• Production volume: Consider whether your production will be unitary, in small or large series. For small series production or occasional needs, you could consider manual, mechanical, hydraulic or even electric presses, which also exist in portable models. For mass production, it is essential to know whether you need single or repeated pressing.
• Cost and return on investment: Consider the cost of the machine and the expected return on investment. CNC machines, for example, offer high precision and are suitable for complex bending and high-volume manufacturing, but they are more expensive and require skilled operators and regular maintenance.
• Materials and complexity of the fold: Thicker and harder metals require more force to bend, therefore requiring a more powerful machine. Complex folds require advanced machines with high precision.
• Safety and maintenance: Operating a press requires training and adherence to safety measures. Regular maintenance is also essential to ensure the longevity of the machine.

By considering these factors, you can choose the sheet metal press that best suits your needs, balancing aspects such as the type of processing, the precision required, the production volume and the budget available. Krollit can offer advice in this process, helping you choose the machine best suited to your specific needs
