Scratches, marks and handling damage don’t just affect appearance... they can lead to wasted material, rework and unnecessary cost.

For coated, painted or sensitive materials, reducing sheet handling can make all the difference. RAS folding machines support material throughout the bending process, helping protect finish quality while improving efficiency on the shop floor.

One perfect bend is great. Producing hundreds exactly the same? That’s where the real challenge begins.

In sheet metal fabrication, consistency matters. Small variations can lead to wasted material, rework and delays further down the line. Yawei CNC press brakes and RAS folding machines help improve repeatability, giving fabricators greater consistency across every batch.

Can your machine handle modern materials? Fabrication is evolving. Stronger materials, tighter tolerances, larger sheets and more complex jobs are pushing bending equipment harder than ever.

Older machinery can struggle to keep up with the demands for precision, repeatability and efficiency that modern manufacturing requires.

Today’s CNC press brakes and folding machines are built to deliver greater accuracy, improve material handling and help manufacturers stay productive across a wider range of applications.

Is your equipment ready for the demands of modern fabrication?

Automation is not just about speed, it’s about consistency, accuracy, and scalability. With Press and Shear’s automation solutions, manufacturing moves beyond constant manual intervention to a more continuous, efficient flow, reducing stoppages, minimising errors, and cutting material waste.

What does that mean in practice?

✔ More parts produced in the same amount of time
✔ Better material utilisation
✔ Greater operational predictability
✔ Lower cost per part
✔ Increased production efficiency

While many manufacturers still rely on manual processes, businesses investing in automation are already gaining a competitive advantage through smarter, more efficient production.

If your operation is ready to evolve, automation could be the next step.

Production is changing, and bending processes need to keep up.

Shorter lead times, smaller batch sizes and greater job variety are putting more pressure on fabrication workshops than ever before. Efficiency today isn’t just about bend speed... it’s about reducing setup times, improving flexibility and maintaining accuracy across changing production demands.

Modern CNC press brakes and folding systems help fabricators stay competitive with faster setups, repeatable precision and the flexibility to handle high-mix production environments.

As manufacturing evolves, investing in bending solutions built for flexibility and efficiency is becoming essential for modern fabrication.

What’s really slowing down your bending process? It’s not always the machine. In many fabrication environments, small inefficiencies build up over time and quietly reduce productivity, increase handling time and create unnecessary delays.

Three common issues we see:
1️⃣ Too many tool changes
Frequent tooling swaps interrupt flow and eat into production time. Smarter job planning and the right tooling setup can make a significant difference.

2️⃣ Excessive material handling
Constant repositioning and flipping slows operators down, particularly on larger parts. Folding systems can help by supporting the sheet throughout the process and reducing manual handling.

3️⃣ Unoptimised bend sequences
On complex parts, bend order matters. Reviewing sequences before production can reduce unnecessary movements, shorten delays between bends and improve overall efficiency.

Sometimes the biggest gains come from small process improvements.

And while better workflow doesn’t always require new machinery, the right equipment can make those efficiencies far easier to maintain at scale.

Sustainability in manufacturing isn’t always about buying new. Sometimes, it’s about making existing machinery work smarter and last longer.

At Press and Shear, we refurbish used machinery to an exceptionally high standard. This extends machine lifespan, reducing waste, and helping customers get more value from their investment.

Through refurbishment, repairs, servicing, and part exchange, we help keep quality machinery operating efficiently for years to come.

It’s a practical, cost-effective approach that also supports a more sustainable manufacturing industry.

Because engineering excellence shouldn’t be disposable.

When a machine stops, every minute matters. That’s why reliable access to spare parts is just as important as the machine itself.

Press and Shear supports customers long after installation with spare parts supply for a wide range of machinery, helping minimise downtime and keep production moving.

Whether it’s a planned replacement or an urgent requirement, our team works to source and supply the parts needed to get machines back up and running as quickly as possible.

Because good machinery support doesn’t end after the sale.

It’s ongoing.

“Refurbished machines are unreliable.” This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry. The reality? A professionally refurbished machine can deliver outstanding performance, reliability, and value.

At Press and Shear, every refurbishment project is carefully inspected, restored, tested and prepared to meet high operational standards before leaving our workshop.

For many businesses, refurbished machinery offers:
✔ Reduced lead times
✔ Lower capital costs
✔ Proven performance
✔ A more sustainable solution

Refurbished should never mean compromised.

It should mean expertly restored and ready for work.

Machine support doesn’t stop at installation and neither do we. Press and Shear Ltd, doesn't just supply machines. We stand behind them for the long run.

“Your machine only makes you money when it’s working efficiently” isn’t just something we say, it’s how we operate every day.

With over 50 years of experience, we know that real value comes after the sale. That’s why our dedicated service team is here to support you at every stage, from commissioning new equipment to maintaining and repairing machines that have been in operation for decades.

Because keeping your production moving matters.

✔ Skilled service engineers who understand your machinery inside out
✔ Reliable access to spare parts, even for older equipment
✔ Preventative maintenance to minimise downtime
✔ Fast, responsive support when you need it most

It’s not just about machines, it’s about long-term support you can rely on.

When did your supplier last support you years after the sale?
