Efficient sheet metal processing: tips and techniques for the best results
What is sheet metal processing – and what makes it efficient?
Sheet metal processing includes a variety of processes such as cutting, bending, joining and finishing – always with the aim of forming functional components from flat sheet metal parts. At BVS, the focus is on efficiency: fewer set-up times, less material wastage, automated processes and maximum repeat accuracy. For example, a new, automated bending center ensures significantly reduced changeover times – a real time advantage in series production. Material consumption is also optimized: The blanks are nested in such a way that there is as little waste as possible.
The result: shorter delivery times, lower costs – and more flexibility for your production.
Your advantages with BVS Blechtechnik at a glance:
- Maximum efficiency through automated processes and intelligent machine networking
- Customized solutions – perfectly tailored to material, geometry and batch size
- Consistently high quality thanks to state-of-the-art measuring systems and digital process control
Materials and substances – variety for every requirement
The basis of any successful sheet metal processing is the right material – and the ability to match it precisely to the intended use.
BVS Blechtechnik processes a wide range of materials: from aluminum, steel and stainless steel to copper and special materials. We mainly use high-quality sheet metal that is characterized by good formability, high strength and reliable processing properties.
Our components meet the highest quality standards – regardless of whether they are functional, mechanically resilient components or visually sophisticated housings. This is ensured by our own quality department and QM processes individually tailored to our customers.
BVS manufactures for a wide range of industries: from medical technology with particularly stringent requirements, automation technology and the information industry to specialized applications in the aerospace and military sectors (via BVS Systemtechnik). Thanks to this diversity, we know what is important in complex branches of industry – and supply sheet metal parts that are convincing in every respect.
In sheet metal processing, a basic distinction is made between heavy plate and thin sheet. The latter are particularly suitable for precise shaping, tight tolerances and ready-to-install assemblies – a focus of BVS. The combination of state-of-the-art production technology and in-depth materials expertise enables us to create solutions that are both functionally and visually impressive and are individually tailored to our customers’ applications.
Manufacturing processes – versatile, precise and perfectly coordinated
Sheet metal processing at BVS Blechtechnik is based on a wide range of manufacturing processes that are precisely tailored to the requirements of your product. Our processes can be assigned to the four classic areas of metal processing: Forming, cutting, joining and finishing. Depending on the project, we combine these processes to create an optimum production sequence – efficiently, economically and with maximum precision.
The most important processes include punching and laser cutting for precise contours, automated bending for exact angles and shapes as well as welding, round bending and press-fitting. The processes are not only used individually, but often in sophisticated combinations – for example, cutting, bending and pressing in a coordinated process step. This results in complex components with minimal time and material input – and consistently high quality.
Modern machines – smart processes
BVS Blechtechnik has been consistently investing in automation and digitalization for years – and the machine park will also be expanded in 2025. Plans include a new press brake with automated tool changer and an additional laser system that will enable even greater precision and throughput.
Our CNC-controlled systems are already intelligently networked, exchange programs and ensure smooth processes without media disruptions. This is particularly efficient in typical process combinations such as laser cutting and welding, which are automated and coordinated at BVS – for maximum process reliability and maximum repeat accuracy.
Thanks to digital process planning, automated error detection and consistent data management, reworking can be significantly reduced – this not only saves time, but also optimizes material usage and cost structure.
Tools and machines – flexible in use, precise in results
Economical and precise sheet metal processing requires not only expertise, but also the right machinery. Depending on the scope of the project, material and requirements, BVS Blechtechnik uses various machines – from classic hand tools to fully automated CNC systems.
The press brake, which is used for the precise bending of sheet metal parts, plays a central role – especially with tight tolerances and high repeat accuracy.
Thanks to our extensive range of machinery, we are able to manufacture both simple and highly complex components efficiently – individually, precisely and in top quality.
Customized. Well thought out. Directly realizable.
What makes BVS special? We support you right from the start – from consultation and design to the finished assembly. Because we know our machines and processes better than any customer, we optimize components during the development process. All production steps can be mapped internally, which means that even complex projects can be realized with short delivery times – without any detours.
Tools and machines – modern, powerful and a perfect fit
The quality of sheet metal processing depends largely on the machines and tools used – and this is precisely where BVS Blechtechnik sets standards. Our state-of-the-art machinery includes specialized systems for every processing phase: from precise laser cutting to automated bending with folding benches.
Classic tools are also used efficiently for specific tasks – for example for fast, clean cutting of sheet metal. Through the targeted selection of suitable machines – tailored to the material, geometry and quantity – we ensure that every order is implemented with maximum precision and efficiency. This results in flexible production that reliably covers both individual pieces and large series.
Consistently high quality – regardless of batch size or variant diversity
Whether a single piece or a small series – at BVS you receive quality at a consistently high level. This is ensured by modern measuring systems such as the 3D coordinate measuring machine from ZEISS or the laser-based Inspekt-Vision system where components are compared with the geometries of the CAD files. In this way, we guarantee that your component corresponds exactly to your specifications – for every order.
Sustainability in sheet metal processing – taking responsibility
BVS Blechtechnik is actively committed to climate protection and was awarded the KLIMAfit certificate by the state of Baden-Württemberg in October 2024. As part of this program, a comprehensive greenhouse gas balance was drawn up that takes into account direct (Scope 1), indirect (Scope 2) and value chain-related emissions (Scope 3). Measures such as the installation of a photovoltaic system, the purchase of green electricity and the switch to LED lighting have already led to a reduction of over 700 tons of CO₂e.
These initiatives show that BVS Blechtechnik is not only technologically, but also ecologically future-oriented.
Future and trends in sheet metal processing
Sheet metal processing is constantly evolving – and BVS Blechtechnik is actively following this path. Modern technologies such as networked CNC systems, automated production processes and digital quality controls will be used even more in the future to further increase efficiency and precision. At the same time, the demand for individual, functional sheet metal parts for new products and applications is growing – from smart industrial components to sustainable energy solutions. As an experienced partner in sheet metal processing, BVS will continue to focus on innovation, quality and customized solutions that meet the requirements of tomorrow.
