Cutting Overview

Our laser-cutting machine can cut up to 15mm in thickness and handle the same size plates as the gas cutting machines, having a bed size of 3 metres by 15 metres. It has a 4kw laser and produces higher tolerance work in comparison to the Gas cutting machines, with minimal distortion and superior edge finish. Both Gas and laser machines have parts cut to high sheet yield usage values; parts are programmed and nested economically together using material nesting programs from our CAD CAM system. Gas, plasma and laser machines output is between 65 to 100 tonnes per day.

Plasma bevel cutting was added in November 2006 to increase production and cut weld preparations during the cutting process. The plasma machine can also handle 3 metres by 15 metres bed size.
