Advice you can trust
Machine Sales Partnership

Laser and sheet metal machinery, backed by Lintec Machinery Australia

RMS works alongside Lintec Machinery, an Australian supplier of industrial laser and sheet metal equipment established in 1994 — bringing that machine range and support to New Zealand shops.

Talk machines

Laser cutting & sheet metal machines

Fibre laser systems up to 10kW, press brakes, and other sheet metal machinery — sourced through an established Australian supplier with decades of service history.

Ongoing support

Consumables, servicing, and machine support behind the sale, not just the machine itself — so you're covered well after installation.

Tooling & Workholding Partnership

Mate tooling and workholding, direct through DW Solutions

RMS works alongside DW Solutions, the Mate brand punch press tooling dealer for New Zealand — so tooling advice comes with a direct line to the source.

Workholding for 3, 4 & 5-axis milling

Mate's zero-point workholding — DynoGrip vises, DynoLock bases and DynoMount fixturing — cuts setup time and holds tolerance across 3-, 4- and 5-axis machining centres. It's a line we're actively bringing to New Zealand shops.

What we do

Practical help, at every stage of the job

Consulting built on real shop-floor time — not theory. We step in wherever a job is stuck, from first design to final program.

CAD & Design

Part and assembly design that accounts for how it'll actually be formed and punched — not just how it looks on screen.

SolidWorks

CNC, Punching, Laser & Press Brake Consultation

Nesting and tool path advice for turret punch, laser cutting, and press brake folding — cutting cycle time and tool wear, built from two decades of running the machines yourself.

An outside, experienced eye on your workflow — where time and material are actually being lost, and what to fix first.

Audit & recommendations

About Raphael Manufacturing Solutions

Started by someone who's actually run the machines

Raphael Manufacturing Solutions was founded by Ben Raphael, who has spent 25 years across every part of the sheet metal trade — shop floor operation, CNC and turret punch work, laser cutting, press brake folding, SolidWorks design, and nesting programming, through to management.

That range means we can walk into a job at any stage — a stuck design, a slow program, a tooling problem — and know exactly what's likely going wrong, because we've been the one solving it before.
