Equipment for sheet metal processing

The key benefits at a glance

Daily challenges in sheet metal processing

Disorder and long search times

Unsystematically stored punching and bending tools waste time daily and hinder workflow due to search times. During this time, machines stand still, which becomes really costly in the long run.

Damage due to improper storage

Improperly stored or just placed briefly because the shelf is too far away? This means scratches, dents, and consequently high replacement costs for your valuable tools.

Lack of space in the workshop

Bulky tools block urgently needed workspaces in meter-long shelves or numerous wing door cabinets.

Risk of injury

To save space, tools are stored in multiple rows. However, reaching over, especially with bending tools, poses a high risk of injury.

With the operating facilities from Apfel, achieve more organization, efficiency, and safety in sheet metal processing

With a thoughtfully designed operating facility, the material flow around your punching and bending machines remains on track at all times – tools and materials are always within reach and optimally stored. Ergonomic workstations noticeably relieve your staff and enable fully thought-out setup places even in the smallest spaces. Our solutions not only make your production significantly more efficient, but also reduce tool wear and setup times.
