Wysong Fabrication Equipment: The Ideal Platform for Shipbuilding and Naval Applications

Shipbuilding is one of the most demanding sectors in metal fabrication, requiring precision, durability, and the ability to handle large-scale components. Whether constructing commercial vessels, military warships, or high-speed patrol boats, shipbuilders need equipment that can manage thick steel plates, long bends, and high-tonnage applications. Wysong Fabrication Equipment offers a range of solutions—including press brakes, shears, folders, fiber lasers, and deburring machines—engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the maritime industry.

Precision and Power for Large-Scale Shipbuilding

Shipbuilding requires bending and cutting massive sheets of high-strength steel and aluminum for hulls, bulkheads, and other structural components. Wysong’s tandem press brakes, large-tonnage solutions, extended throat depths, and customizable builds make it the perfect choice for fabricators handling these oversized parts.

Tandem and Large-Tonnage Press Brakes: Unrivaled Strength for Hull Fabrication

Ship hulls require long, precise bends over large sheets of steel and aluminum, making standard press brakes insufficient for the job. Wysong’s tandem press brake systems allow shipyards to bend sections over 30 feet in length with increased tonnage capacity, ensuring consistent, high-quality bends for structural integrity.

• Tandem and Tridem Press Brakes: Capable of handling extra-long parts, our tandem and tridem configurations provide synchronized bending across multiple frames, perfect for forming ship hulls and bulkheads.
• High-Tonnage Systems: With press brakes offering up to 1,100 tons, Wysong ensures that shipbuilders can form the thickest plate materials used in naval warships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines.
• Extended Throats and Daylight Openings: Many shipbuilding components require deeper penetration into the machine. Wysong’s press brakes feature extended throats and increased daylight openings, allowing shipyards to fabricate complex geometries for hull reinforcements and framework structures.

Shears: Fast and Efficient Cutting for Heavy Plate Steel

Wysong’s mechanical and hydraulic shears provide clean, precise cuts on large steel and aluminum sheets, an essential first step in shipbuilding. With fast stroke rates and rugged blade configurations, Wysong shears can handle high-strength naval-grade materials used in hulls, armor plating, and internal bulkheads.

• Fast cycle times: Ideal for high-production shipbuilding environments.
• Heavy-duty frame construction: Ensures reliability and longevity, even when cutting thick naval steel.
• Custom back gauges: Enable shipbuilders to quickly set up precise cuts for long and oversized sheets.

Folders: Large-Scale Bending Without Tooling Limitations

For shipbuilders working with long, complex bends, Wysong’s industrial metal folders provide an efficient alternative to traditional press brakes. The ability to bend in multiple directions without needing a punch and die change streamlines operations when forming intricate ship parts such as decking, bulkheads, and watertight doors.

• High bending capacity: Capable of handling thick materials used in naval vessels.
• Precision and repeatability: Critical for forming parts that must fit together seamlessly.
• Reduced tooling costs: Saves time and money in large-scale production runs.

Fiber Lasers: Precision Cutting for Ship Component Fabrication

Laser cutting is essential for producing intricate ship components, from brackets and support structures to hull reinforcements and exhaust systems. Wysong’s fiber laser cutting machines offer shipbuilders fast, clean cuts with minimal heat distortion.

• IPG Fiber Laser Technology: Provides high-speed, high-precision cutting for naval-grade steel and aluminum.
• Large cutting bed sizes: Handle oversized shipbuilding materials with ease.
• Minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ): Prevents material warping, critical for maintaining ship integrity.

Deburring Machines: The Final Touch for Shipbuilding Components

With the immense amount of cutting, bending, and welding involved in ship construction, proper deburring is necessary to ensure parts fit together perfectly and meet strict naval standards. Wysong’s deburring machines ensure smooth, high-quality finishes on all fabricated components, eliminating sharp edges and preparing parts for painting, coating, or welding.

• Automated edge rounding and deburring: Reduces manual labor and ensures consistency.
• Enhanced surface preparation: Essential for ship parts requiring protective coatings.
• Increased worker safety: Eliminates dangerous sharp edges from thick metal parts.

Custom Solutions for Naval Shipbuilding

Naval vessels require specialized equipment capable of handling armor plating, blast-resistant structures, and advanced ship hull designs. Wysong works directly with shipbuilders to design custom press brakes, shears, and laser cutting solutions tailored to meet the exact needs of military ship fabrication.

• Aircraft Carriers & Destroyers: Require tandem press brakes for forming hull plates and bulkheads.
• Submarines: Benefit from high-tonnage brakes for bending thick, high-strength steel.
• Patrol Boats & Frigates: Utilize precision laser cutting for lightweight aluminum structures.
• Amphibious Assault Ships & LPDs: Depend on custom throat depth press brakes to form intricate hull reinforcements.
