Our state-of-the-art fibre optic laser cutting machines, in addition to our Co2 machines, give us the scope to cut a wide range of materials, including brass and copper, to any design of your choice.
Whether you demand an intricate pattern or precision cuts, our lasers will produce meticulous detail to give you design satisfaction every time.
As standard, we use nitrogen to cut up to 3mm thick mild steel, however, upon request, we can cut up to 6mm thick.
Why water jet cutting?
We have a state-of-the-art water jet cutting machine that is capable of cutting any material up to 150mm thick. The machine also benefits from a two metre by four metre bed. Examples of materials which can be cut include stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass, wood, ceramics, concrete, plastics, nylon, rubbers and foams.
Water jet over laser?
The water jet has many benefits over conventional laser profiling methods:
There is no heat affected zones, as it is a cold process. Lowering the chances of material warping.
There is no tool contact, and therefore no edge deformation.
Materials up to 150mm thick can be profiled.
Virtually any material can be cut.
No tooling cost.
Secondary cleaning operations are reduced or eliminated.
Little to no burr on the edge of the product.
Capability to cut extremely detailed geometry.
Very little side force is placed on the material whilst cutting, allowing delicate parts to be cut.
With water jet machines you have a choice of the level of edge quality you require.
Our router machine, equipped with a dynamic head, can cut many different materials, such as plastics, wood and aluminium composite panels, amongst others. Please enquire for further information.
The router can cut a maximum sheet size of 4000mm x 2000mm up to 50mm thickness. The router compliments our waterjet cutting machine, and greatly expands our options.
Our brand new Trumpf 1000 CNC punching system has self-load and unload capabilities. Included in the many functions this machine can perform are punching, tapping and forming.
From one off items to batch quantities, we can supply to our customers every requirement.
Quick and cost-effective
The TruPunch 1000 processes sheet sizes up to 3000mm x 1500mm with up to 600 strokes per minute.
Exceptionally versatile
The TruPunch 1000 excels with sophisticated functions and tools.
Automatic loading and unloading including SortMaster
The SheetMaster Compact provides reliable loading and unloading. The SortMaster removes and sorts parts from the sheet the optimum way.
Dynamic and environmentally conscious
The Delta Drive eliminates the need for the sheet and support table to move in the Y axis – saving up to 20% in energy.
With our Safan E-Brakes, we can fold up to 4 meters long with addition to this we also have a Dutch fold capability which put safety edge on the material. We have the capability to form complex one off small components to large batch roof sheets.
The greener way
Our Brake presses are electronic, meaning that there is less energy consumption than using hydraulic brake presses.
Our welding team are highly experienced and qualified in MIG welding (Material Inert Gas), TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MMA (Manual Metal Arch). This gives us the ability to weld materials such as Mild Steel, Stainless Steel and Aluminium.
We have the capacity to bend tube up to 50mm diameter in various materials.
With our Peel 3 scanner we can scan objects from hand made parts to machined items and bring them into our software. This then enables our CAD team to reverse engineer the items to our customers’ requirements.
If our customers just want the items scanned we can then supply them with the scan. We can export the files in many different formats.
Our cad design team can draw up from supplied paper drawings templates to designing an item working closely with our customers to achieve their goal. Working with various software packages from Inventor, Trumpf boost and Radan we have most things covered.
This is an operation that removes sharp edges off components which is a wet process. The items are then rinsed and the passed through our drying system. Rumbling improves the overall look of a component also helping with other process such as plating or powder coating.
