Most fabrication workshops were never designed. They grew. A press brake went where there was space. The welding bay ended up next to the guillotine because that is where the power supply was. Raw material gets stored wherever it fits, and finished parts travel back
Before you commit to a fibre laser, you need to know what it costs to run once the purchase price is paid. The machine itself is the headline figure, but the day-to-day spend on electricity, assist gas, consumables and maintenance is what determines whether the
Choosing the right bending rolls means matching four things to your production: the maximum material thickness you need to roll, the rolling width, the tightest diameter you need to achieve, and whether you need pre-bending capability. Get these four factors right and the rest of
Unlocking New Levels of Productivity with Flat Bed Fibre Laser Cutters In the fast-paced world of metal fabrication, precision and speed are key to staying competitive. Efficient flat bed fibre laser cutters have rapidly become a cornerstone for workshops seeking to deliver top-quality work faster
In the world of metal fabrication, investing in the right machinery can make all the difference. For many fabrication workshops, plasma cutting machines have become the go-to solution thanks to their versatility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you are a small operation or a large-scale producer,
Streamlining Production with the Right Tools In a competitive fabrication environment, efficiency isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. One of the most impactful investments a metal workshop can make is in bending rolls. These machines, designed for shaping and forming sheet metal into curves
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing industry, precision, efficiency, and adaptability are essential. Industrial plasma cutting machinery embodies these qualities, offering unparalleled cutting power for a wide range of materials and thicknesses. From metal fabrication to automotive manufacturing, plasma cutters have become indispensable for businesses looking to
In the world of precision engineering and sheet metal fabrication, bending rolls are essential tools for achieving high-quality, consistent bends. These machines play a critical role in shaping metal sheets into cylindrical, curved, or other complex forms required across a wide range of industries. For
Maintaining your bandsaw machine is crucial for ensuring its longevity, performance, and safety in the workshop. Regular maintenance not only prevents costly breakdowns but also ensures precision in your cuts, whether you are working with wood, metal, or other materials. In this guide, we will
At AFM Europe, we are passionate about supporting the next generation of engineers and fabricators. This week we were delighted to install two brand-new Ermaksan sheet metal fabrication machines at the newly opened Northumberland College in Blyth. These state-of-the-art machines – a precision press brake
