Morgan Rushworth XPH Hybrid Press Brakes

The Morgan Rushworth XPH range of hybrid press brakes are designed with an individual electro-hydraulic servo drive system for each of the left and right cylinders. With this system the hydraulics run on demand when the foot pedal is activated, rather than having a pump running continuously. This results in lower energy usage than a standard hydraulic machine as well as faster cycle times and extremely high accuracy.

All models are fitted with the ESA VIS-875W CNC control featuring a 21” touch screen and both numerical and 2D graphical program entry. These machines follow a rigorous design and manufacturing process to ensure minimum deflection of the machine frame under maximum working pressure. AKAS laser tooling guards are standard and offer a vastly improved operator experience without compromising safety. A comprehensive range of options are available to fully tailor the machine to requirements including 6-axis or 8-axis configurations.

Plate Rolling — How to Choose the Right Machine

Unlocking Efficiency & Precision: Why UK Manufacturers Are Moving to Tube Laser Cutting

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.

The Impact of the Defence Sector on UK Metal Fabrication Demand

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.

A unique solution for welding fume extraction

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.
