We opened our branch of Autobend Limited - East Tamaki in 2004 selling exhaust products. Shortly after we added Mandrel Tube Bending capabilities.
In 2023 we moved to bigger, brighter premises at 8 Nandina Ave as part of the expansion of our Laser Cutting and Folding business. 2024 saw the arrival of our brand new Bystronic 6kW Fibre Laser cutter and 160 tonne CNC Folder. We have an experienced team of designers, programmers and operators backed by more than 20 years of contract cutting and folding.
- Brand new Bystronic machinery
- Established processes
- Quality control systems
- We stand by our work
- Fast turnaround
- Competitive pricing
- Full in-house 3D design capabilities
- 1 off or production runs
Flat Bed Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is extremely accurate (+/- 0.2mm) for cutting mild steel, stainless, aluminium and other non-ferrous materials.
With our Bystronic BySmart 6Kw fiber laser we have all the bases covered allowing us to produce a cost effective, high quality finish.
Efficient "nesting" combined with "Detection Eye" technology plus our 3000mm × 1500mm Bytrans Extended automated sheet loading system minimizes down time for one-offs or runs of 1000 pieces.
We accept 2D or 3D CAD files for “flat bed” cutting of sheet or “rotolas” cutting of round, square or rectangular material.

Mild Steel up to 25 mm
Stainless up to 30 mm
Aluminium up to 30 mm
Copper up to 12 mm
Brass up to 15 mm
Our Bysoft CAM software will take your 3D model, flatten it out, process it for laser cutting and folding to your specifications -
all at the click of the mouse...
Precision folding from 3D drawings
Our Bystronic CNC press brakes use the same software suite as our BySmart laser cutter to ensure all parts produced are cut then folded to your exact specifications. Hydraulic clamping for both upper and lower tooling reduces set up time while the CNC software eliminates operator error and the need for extra set-up material.
Our machines allow us to be versatile, allowing cost-effective production of bent parts. It is highly accurate, incorporating the ByVision Bending control system, and has sensor technology directly inbuilt to ensure an even distribution of force for precise folding. Quick set-up times, ease of use, flexibility and high accuracy across the bend length ensure that your job is completed quickly and to a high standard.

BENEFITS OF CNC folding
We download a 3D file, simulate the folding sequence, establish the bend radii, create a fold sequence, convert to a 2D pattern, nest and laser cut to suit.
Bysoft CAM provides a consistent quality of bend using the parameters and bend sequence for all parts then instructs the operator at every step.
Our Bysoft CAM software automatically checks for tonnage required, collisions and bend radii when the dimensions of our vee blocks, top tools, bend bars and hemming tooling are loaded in.
Numerous fold options for corners and more allow our programmers to reduce welding and assembly times post-folding.
Better utilisation of material: out with cutting, welding and grinding RHS; in with cutting, folding and welding from sheet — no part lengths of RHS on the rack two years later.
You pay only for the amount of steel required as we nest with other customer jobs.
Make stronger parts that weigh less. CNC interlocking design, fold, cut and weld allows your finished product to look smart, plus be lighter and stronger.
Save money — no need to cut those extra profiles used in a manual set-up.
We simulate the folding and establish the bend radii before we cut the flat profile.
