1 LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW? Learn something new about the sheet metal industry. Registration is FREE!

2 Thanks to the collaboration between several technology leaders in the field of sheet metalworking, the UK s first Sheet Metal Forum for end users is being held in March This is an educational event dedicated to the needs of those whose business is focused on sheet metal fabrication. Organised by TRUMPF, Wilson Tool, Voortman Steel Machinery, SafanDarley, Lissmac and Severn Machines, the Sheet Metal Forum is designed to give technical professionals the opportunity to learn about new and future technologies, network with like-minded companies and discuss market demands in a minimally commercial environment. WHEN? 7th/8th March WHERE? Swindon, Wiltshire WHAT TIME? 9:00am - 4:00pm OTHER BENEFITS FOR PARTICIPATING WORKSHOPS DEMONSTRATIONS PLANT TOUR

3 INFORMATION STANDS NETWORKING BUFFET LUNCH INCLUDING A PANEL DISCUSSION: THE FUTURE OF SHEET METAL Ever wondered where the sheet metal industry was headed? Want to know what plans are in place for the future? This is the prime opportunity to question our panel, consisting of one representative from each hosting company, and find out more about co-biotics, automation, smart tooling and high tech solutions for your sheet metal needs. EASY TO REGISTER To register for the event just visit goo.gl/tnd9sc, or scan the QR code. Attendance is free and spaces are limited so register today to avoid disappointment!

4 BE LIMITED BY YOUR IMAGINATION, NOT YOUR TOOLS Are you using your punch press or press brake to its full potential? This workshop will demonstrate the versatility of your existing sheet metal equipment. Did you know you can bend components and produce hems on your punch press, or that you could produce louvers, extrusions and other forms on your press brake? Do you know how to assemble without welding or produce complex prototypes on your punch press before moving to hard tooling? Wilson Tool will show you how to reduce secondary operations and maximise the use of your existing equipment to improve your productivity and profitability. Presented by Simon Lewinski

5 THE POWER OF CHOICE IN LASER PROCESSING From cutting, welding and marking to surface processing and additive manufacturing, modern laser technology achieves innovative and cost-effective production in any application. Due to their versatility lasers are used in a variety of industries, from cutting fine structures in medical technology to high speed welding of sheet metal fabrications. Could we use the same laser for every single application? Not really, each application has its own ideal laser technology making the right choice of laser very important. Presented by Ivo Gasner

6 DEBURRING - A QUALITY CHARACTERISTIC Steadily increasing quality standards such as corrosion prevention, creating new challenges for the metal industry. As an example grinding and deburring becomes a more and more important quality characteristic to meet those increasing requirements. Presented by Robert Dimmler

7 HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PRESS BRAKE PRODUCTIVITY SafanDarley shows how produce more products per hour on a press brake and that they are capable of achieving more than ever. To get maximum efficiency, an interplay between machine and tools is important, but also requires good organisation around the machine, said Paul Hillam, Sales Manager of SafanDarley UK. We will demonstrate how the set-up times can be reduced with good offline software, machine control, tool changing and measurement systems to get maximum return out of your press brake. Presented by Paul Hillam

8 FUTURE AND CURRENT IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PLASMA CUTTING TECHNOLOGY New types of consumables, smarter cutting paths and new nesting algorithms significantly decreased cutting costs in the past decade. But we are by far not finished yet. See how your production can profit from these new technologies and coming technologies and learn more about the future of plasma cutting.
