We have had a very busy summer and have needed more folding capacity… So we bought some! A sudden and very large scale demand for our services over the summer months quickly highlighted the biggest bottleneck in production being at our folding facilities. As the Directors are confident that this demand will continue the only […]
When it comes to metal cutting, there are a number of methods that can be carried out. This can range from simple engraving through to intricate machine part manufacturing. However, the level of use is commonly misconceived, and what many don’t appreciate is how intricate and widely used this process is. In this blog we […]
One of the largest bottlenecks in sheet metal goods production is the folding of the metal components. This is because the laser cutting equipment we have can produce parts at a much faster rate than we can fold them (especially when accuracy and quality are held in high regard). Recognising this fact and as demand […]
It’s not often that a question arises which can cause chaos in the ranks at Yorkshire Profiles but during the processing of a large order an interesting issue came to light which required a bit of external advice. The material in question is 4003 Grade Stainless Steel, also known as 3CR12. This material is supplied with […]
We often work on prototype products which are about to enter the market and some catch our eye more than others. This product required us to produce an accurate radius bend and a presentable tight fitting case. We just love the colour the inventor has chosen for his designs! The fact that this product is made […]
At Yorkshire Profiles we manufacture “hoppers” of all kind in various shapes and sizes for different industries. Quite often these have a “Square to Round” shape. This term is used even if the part is more of a rectangular shape to round, or even to an oval shape. Mild steel “Square to Round” cut and folded Square […]
This box was produced for an environmental based business in the UK. It was cut on our laser then folded and welded by our fabrication team. It was important to have a high quality weld on all seams as any discrepancies would show through the powder coating. A mild steel box welded and powder coated […]
This project was to fully fabricate a stainless steel gantry for the food industry. This stainless steel fabrication was designed by one of our clients and fully fabricated by ourselves to their specifications. First the stainless steel box sections were cut to length and welded to create the frame. The facia plates were nearly 4 […]
We understand that sometimes a drawing isn’t available and all you have is a part you require to be replicated. This is not a problem, our team can take the measurements off a sample you can provide to us and we can draw it up for you. We can then make any adjustments to the […]
We don’t just work with simple flat sheets of aluminium. We are capable of supplying, cutting and folding tread plates. This is part of a much larger mezzanine floor project we are working on… Aluminium treadplate step folded using radius tooling Aluminium tread plate formed for a custom mezzanine floor.
