METAL BLANKING
Sheet metal part blanking shapes flat stock into finished profiles, most commonly through laser cutting and turret punching.
Laser cutting uses a focused beam to produce precise, complex shapes with clean edges and no tooling, making it ideal for intricate or frequently changing designs and tight tolerances. Omega’s state of the art, Japanese, 6kW fiber laser ensures the highest quality parts at the most economical prices.
Turret punching mechanically shears material using dedicated tools, offering high speed and efficiency for similar, repeating features and high-volume production. Turret punching uniquely offers in-sheet forming such as louvers or threads. Turret punching also excels at tight, repeated patterns such at sheet metal perforating.

SHEET METAL FORMING/BENDING
Press brake part forming, or bending as it’s commonly referred to, converts flat sheet metal into functional three-dimensional components through controlled bending.
Using precision-machined punches and dies, the press brake applies calculated force to create accurate angles, flanges, and channels. Modern CNC press brakes ensure repeatability, tight tolerances, and efficient setup for both simple bends and complex multi-bend parts.
This process is essential for transforming cut blanks into strong, dimensionally accurate sheet metal assemblies.
SHEET METAL PERFORATING
Sheet metal perforating with a turret punch creates consistent hole patterns and functional features through high-speed mechanical punching.
Using dedicated perforation tools, the turret punch rapidly produces uniform holes, slots, or decorative patterns with excellent repeatability. It is highly efficient for large sheets and high-volume runs, delivering precise spacing and clean features in a single setup. Our unique turret punch-laser combination allows for the creation of unique exterior and interior geometries with central perforation.
This process is ideal for applications requiring ventilation, filtration, weight reduction, or visual appeal.
3-AXIS Vertical Machining
3-axis vertical machining precisely shapes solid material through controlled CNC milling operations.
With movement along the X, Y, and Z axes, a vertical machining center efficiently produces flat surfaces, pockets, slots, and drilled features with high accuracy and repeatability. It is well suited for prismatic parts, fixtures, and components requiring tight tolerances. Omega offers advanced processing including multi-material joining and re-machining for high-tech products.
This process delivers reliable precision and versatility for a wide range of machined parts.
