The new machinery will double the capability for Britain’s leading independent air movement specialist to bend sheet metal at its headquarters.

 

Gilberts’ sales director Ian Rogers explains how the press brake works in tandem with the new laser cutter that was introduced earlier this year.

 

 

The new Rico press brake is claimed to reduce wastage from deformation during processing by up to 60%. It will help manufacture not only Gilberts’ MFS units, but a variety of its penthouses, swirls, diffusers, louvres and dampers.

As well as the new manufacturing technology, Gilberts has already this year expanded its warehousing capacity. It is also specifically designing new products to be more modular in format, to optimise efficiency in range offerings.
