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.
We sometimes worry when clients see how messy the waterjet is that parts will be received messy too. Below is an example of a polished brass part which is being cut on the waterjet, then after a quick rinse and dry a photo of the end result. Such plates are often used for decorative purposes. […]
We produce both custom and universal brackets for a wide range of industries. The misconception that you have to go to China to have mass produced parts manufactured for a low price has never been further from the truth, such parts can be manufactured right here in the UK for great value and high quality. […]
The industrial laser cutter allows us to cut small details into various materials. This is a picture of small text cut into 5mm thick stainless steel plate. These parts were then folded and polished in house as part of a complete service. Small detail cut into 5mm thick stainless steel using our industrial laser cutter […]
The waterjet cutter allows us to cut relatively narrow slots in thick materials such as stainless steel. Other cutting methods such as plasma cutting would struggle to achieve such clean results, especially on the small holes due to the amount of heat they produce in the cutting process. This means that producing stainless steel components […]
Waterjet cutting can be noisy and messy, however one advantage is the ability to raise and lower the water table to submerge the cutting process. This does not affect the quality or the accuracy of the cut but does allow us to keep the noise and spray to a minimum. This is especially useful for […]
We cut these holes on our Waterjet to make tapping easier. The laser would harden the material increasing the chances of the tapping tool breaking. We provide a lot of parts for other fabrication and engineering companies and where holes are required to be tapped in thick steels we would always recommend waterjet cutting. Although […]
These aluminium brackets were cut on our laser and then folded as part of a complete service. No drawings could be supplied for these parts so they were reproduced and colour matched to a sample which was made available to us. We appreciate that sometimes electronic drawings are not always available and try to accommodate this where […]
We were recently asked to try to achieve some complicated folds, I can gladly say we achieved it. The hardest part about producing such components is working out the most efficient “bend order”. This is made easier by our press brake as the console gives us a visual diagram of when a fold cannot be […]
This profiled aluminium component was cut on our waterjet cutter earlier today. The waterjet cuts thicker aluminium parts than our laser cutter and provides a nice smooth finish with a sandblasted cut appearance. This aluminium part was then rumbled as per the customers request. The “rumbler” removes any sharp edges from tight corners and leaves the […]
