Lower Costs

Compared to other cutting machines, using sheet metal laser cutting machines is highly cost-effective. There will be significantly less labour costs due to these machines being automated and requiring fewer workers to operate.

As lasers will not get dull or worn out like other cutting tools do, they don’t need to be changed over during the sheet metal laser cutting process. This helps to improve productivity and cause fewer interruptions, meaning costs will be lower.

Improved Speed and Efficiency

As lasers can be set to various cutting speeds, as per the specifications of the parts being cut, they can cut through materials very fast. Since laser cutter machines can be set to operate overnight when machinists aren’t on shift, this can increase the overall efficiency of the laser cutting process and therefore get the work done faster compared to other cutting processes.

High Precision

Laser cutting stainless steel sheets is highly recommended as the cuts will be highly accurate. Laser cutters can create small cuts, tight tolerances, and smooth, sharp and clean curves and edges. If intricate cuts are required, laser cutters are recommended to achieve this. These machines produce little to no burring due to the laser melting the material instead of cutting it.

High Versatility

Laser cutters can be used to cut many different types of metals, making it perfect for laser cutting stainless steel sheets, aluminium alloy, titanium and more. They’re capable of handling tight tolerances and intricate designs and they work very fast to ensure your project is completed on time with minimal disruption.

Selecting a Quality Sheet Metal Fabrication Service

Precision sheet metal fabrication is a very specialised task to complete, meaning companies should be fully satisfied with the manufacturer they hire to complete a custom cut sheet metal job. But out of all the companies out there that provide custom sheet metal fabrication services, how do you know which one to choose? Here are some factors to consider when selecting the right sheet metal fabrication service.

Advanced Machinery

The company you choose should be using state-of-the-art technology to meet your sheet metal fabrication objectives and achieve the best results possible. Different sheet metal fabrication techniques, such as laser cutting, water jet cutting, hardware insertion and finishing, can only be accomplished by using the right machines. A company with different fabrication machines can offer both flexibility and efficiency to their customers to suit their needs.

Qualified Machinists

A sheet metal fabrication service provider should only be using qualified and experienced machinists that can carry out every step of the fabrication process. How much experience a company’s engineers, designers and machinists have can make a difference in how the finished product turns out. Ask the companies you’re considering hiring about how much training and experience their staff have.

Save Time and Money

Choosing a first-rate sheet metal fabrication company that has state-of-the-art machines and qualified operators can help your organisation save a significant amount of money and time. Using a company that knows exactly what they’re doing allows you to quickly accomplish various   goals and cut down the cost of materials used.

Quality Control

Any company that produces custom cut sheet metal should be following quality control measures to ensure their customers are receiving quality results. Good companies will use in-house laser scanning systems for flat part verification and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) that measure three-dimensional geometries. Such companies should also have an ISO 9001:2015 certification.
