250 tonnes of pressure provide the ability to fold and roll sheet metal up to four meters long into accurate curvatures and complex shapes.
Sheet Metal Rolling And Folding Brisbane
Although sheet metal rolling sounds self-explanatory – a metal which is processed into thin, flat pieces, there’s more to the procedure than you would think. When creating a product from metal, it’s important to utilise metal rolling services to handle the metal better. A sheet metal rolling process consists of passing metal through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce its thickness. Similarly, once the metal has been rolled out, sheet metal folding services are utilised to shape the metal into the desired shape. At Langford Metal, 250 tonnes of pressure provides the ability to fold and roll sheet metal up to four meters long into accurate curvatures and complex shapes.

Sheet Metal Folding And Metal Bending In Brisbane
Unlike rolling, sheet metal folding won’t change the thickness of the metal you’re utilising but instead will change the shape of the piece. By stressing the metal beyond its yield strength, you’re able to mend and shape the metal into however you desire. There are a variety of different types of CNC sheet metal folding, including bottoming, coining, folding, rotary bending, and more. To understand how our sheet metal folding services at Langford Metal can assist with your overall project, contact us today.
Metal bending is similar to sheet metal folding and refers to the process where metal is deformed by applying force to it. This results in the metal bending at an angle and forming a new shape which is often a ‘U’ or ‘V’.
Press Brake Services in Brisbane
To accompany metal bending, our team at Langford Metal also specialises in high quality press brake services Brisbane. A press brake is a tool that is utilised to bend the sheet metal using a punch and die. The sheet metal can be bent by a press brake several times before it creates the desired shape.

FAQs
What is sheet metal folding?
Sheet metal folding is a part of the metal fabrication process covering the bending and folding of sheet metal into a specific orientation. Sheet metal folding can be used to create a variety of products, including pipes or boxes. There are multiple ways to fold sheet metal, but all processes work in one standard way: each technique bends the sheet metal around one or more straight edges by applying pressure. Sheet metal folding is often just one step within a more extensive metal fabrication process to achieve the final product.

What are the types of rolling mills?
The types of rolling mills are often classified based on the number of rollers within the mill.
Two-high rolling mills consist of two horizontal rolls placed on top of each other. Either one or both of the rollers are adjustable. Some two-high rolling mills have the rollers rotating in the same direction, while others have them spinning in different directions.
Three-high rolling mills consist of three horizontal roles placed in a single vertical plane. The upper and bottom roller roll in the same direction while the middle one rotates in the opposite direction.
The four-high rolling mill consists of four rollers: two working rollers of smaller diameter and two back up rollers with a larger diameter. All four rollers are arranged above one another in a vertical plane.
Cluster rolling mills are a specific type of four-high rolling mill in which each of the working rolls is backed up by two or more of the larger backup rolls (instead of a single backup roll in the typical four-high rolling mill).
