Bending & Forming
Precise folded parts, exact angles and consistent bending results: Albrecht produces custom-fit formed parts for mechanical engineering, plant engineering and tank construction.
Bending is one of the key fabrication processes at Albrecht. Wherever sheet metal needs to be formed into specific angles and shapes, our CNC-controlled bending technology ensures dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
Whether simple angle profiles, complex geometries or load-bearing components – we manufacture to drawings, specifications or samples.
Material thicknesses and component sizes according to project requirements. Angular accuracy and dimensional tolerances in accordance with technical specifications.
High angular accuracy and repeatability
Optimal preparation for subsequent welding processes
In-house processing
Short response times thanks to our own stock of materials
Once the bending process is complete, all further processing takes place directly at Albrecht. This includes drilling, countersinking, thread cutting, milling, as well as weld edge finishing and surface preparation. The result is components ready for assembly without any external interfaces – efficiently and with process reliability.
Folded components often form the basis for housings, frame structures, reinforcements or container segments. At Albrecht, these are turned into complete assemblies, from blanking and folding through to machining, welding, blasting or pickling. All processes are optimally co-ordinated.
Our CNC-controlled press brake systems ensure reproducible results and a high level of process reliability. Integration into our modern machinery enables cost-effective production processes, from raw sheet metal to components ready for assembly. The close integration with laser, plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, as well as mechanical machining and welding technology, enables end-to-end production from a single source.
Quality and Control
Our forming processes are carried out in accordance with clearly defined quality standards. The focus is on dimensional accuracy, angular accuracy and component inspection, particularly in the case of load-bearing or safety-critical structures.
Complete production and inspection documentation can be provided for every project, such as material certificates or welding documentation.
FAQ
The achievable material thicknesses depend on the material, component geometry, bending length and required bending radius. With a pressing force of up to 230 tonnes and a maximum bend length of 3,000 mm, we process both thin sheets and thicker materials, subject to technical feasibility. We would be happy to assess your drawing on a case-by-case basis and advise you on the optimal design in terms of material, radius and tolerance.
Yes, this is one of Albrecht’s particular strengths. We do not manufacture bent components in isolation; instead, they can be integrated directly into our production processes for plant and vessel construction. This means that the entire value chain – from cutting and bending through to mechanical machining, certified welding work, pressure vessel components or complete assemblies – takes place within our company.
Particularly when it comes to load-bearing structures, vessel segments, shell panels, reinforcements or connecting structures, you benefit from:
