Shearing

Skilcraft employs three sheet metal shears:

(1) CNC Right Angle Optishear for precision square shearing of blanks with one pass through the shear.

(1) CNC Mechanical Squaring Shear with front and rear CNC gage stops to tackle even the most difficult shearing applications with CNC accuracy.

(1) Stand-alone Mechanical Squaring Shear with mechanical back gage.

Mild Steel 3/16”
Stainless Steel 1/8”


Turret Punching

CNC sheet metal punching is a critical part of Skilcraft's manufacturing process. When punching is required to produce an item, it is assigned to one of our four high production Turret Punching Presses that punch high quality parts in materials up to 3/16" in thickness.

45 Ton Magnum 5000 52 with (2) Auto Indexing
20 Ton Centrum 2000 18 with (2) Auto Indexing and 2 Varitool


6-Axis Press Brake

Sheetmetal bending and forming can be accomplished with our three (6) axis CNC Press Brakes at Skilcraft. These Press Brakes allow minimal setup and handling of even the most challenging and complex parts – with consistent quality and accuracy every time.
  • 24 gage Aluminum, Mild Steel and Stainless Steel up to 168 inches in length.
  • 1/4 inch plate of any material, up to 168 inches in length.
Skilcraft also has an extensive assortment of common and special purpose dies on hand which eliminate the additional cost of expensive tooling in most instances.
