The Morgan Rushworth EXR range of CNC folders are manufactured with a rotating upper beam with one straight rail and one set of high divided tools that can both be utilised in the same folding program without any manual tool change. This versatile design enables high accuracy, high consistency and high productivity as there is only one initial tool set up to carry out. This is ideal for many folding operations including rectangular panel work with return edges to the four sides. The operator sets the program, folds the two long lengths with the straight rail, the upper beam then automatically rotates and the two ends are then folded with the high divided tools, resulting on the completed panel.
The backgauge is integral to the rear support table, which is ideal for the folding of large sheets as the weight of the material is supported, resulting in a traditionally two operator job, being able to be performed with just one. The advanced 2D touch screen CNC, controls all upper beam clamping and rotating, folding beam and back gauge movements, with optional 3D touch screen to further assist the operator. Both controllers provide a view of the folded part, calculates whether the job is possible or not, the developed length and the bending sequence including whether to turn material over or around.
Two sets of tooling on one machine! The Morgan Rushworth EXR range of CNC folders are manufactured with a rotating upper beam with one straight rail and one set of high divided tools that can both be utilised in the same folding program without any manual tool change.
In modern metal manufacturering, staying competitive requires balancing speed, precision, and operational efficiency. Traditional tube processing methods, such as sawing, drilling, punching, and manual deburring, are notoriously labor-intensive and prone to human error. Each additional handling stage introduces potential for delay, increased costs, and inconsistency.

UK defence spending is rising at a pace not seen since the Cold War, and for metal fabricators with the right capabilities, that represents a significant commercial opportunity. Understanding where the demand is coming from, and what it means for workshop investment, is worth the attention of any fabrication business looking to grow.

In recent years, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has placed welding fumes under closer scrutiny, with scientific evidence linking exposure to a range of health issues, including lung cancer, neurological disorders, and asthma. Employers have a duty to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their staff, which includes putting effective controls in place to manage exposure to welding fumes — general ventilation on its own is not enough to adequately mitigate the risks. Although welders themselves may be adequately protected by PPE, the HSE has placed particular emphasis on other employees who share the same workspace.

Net zero isn't just a government target, it's increasingly a commercial reality. More and more UK manufacturers are being asked by their customers to demonstrate their environmental credentials, and fabrication businesses that can't answer that question are starting to lose work to those that can.
