TOTAL METALS MANAGEMENT
Companies that operate in high-tech sectors demand a first-class service and quality standard as well as purchasing metals on a project-by-project basis.
TUBE LASER CUTTING
Provision of kit of parts ready for assembly
Capacity to process large volumes of project work with close tolerances and complex geometries
Ability to service contractual work and repetitive requirements
Flexible lead times
Processing Hollow Sections, Tubular Products, Beams, Columns, Split Tees, Angles and Channels
FLAT LASER CUTTING
Cutting Carbon, Stainless and Galvanised Steel, Aluminium and Weathering Steel
UKCA/CE marking to Execution Class 4
Cut quality (thermal best in class)
Cut tolerances (+/- 0.25mm)
Max cutting thickness 25mm on Stainless and 20mm on Mild Steel
PRECISION BENDING / FORMING
We offer precision bending and pressing of materials into bespoke three-dimensional shapes. The Bystronic Xpert press brake can deliver first-class bending results on parts up to 4100mm long, with a maximum of 320 tonnes of pressure. To prevent cross-contamination, we use dedicated tooling for Mild and Stainless Steel.
PROFILING
Ability to process large area plates up to 14m x 3.2m in a number of grades, ranging from structural steels through to pressure vessel, boiler and offshore grades
Volume and small batch profiling
All profiles fully fettled and shrink wrapped
Straight-line burning facility
Edge bevelling & weld preparation
WATER JET CUTTING
Cutting up to 200mm thick material
Cutting Stainless Steel, Duplex and Super Duplex materials
Max length 4010mm
Max width 2010mm
Cutting tolerance +/- 0.25mm
SECTION BENDING
From tubes, flats, rounds, solid rounds, solid squares, rolled steel angles, tee sections and channels, we offer section bending and can manipulate Mild Steel, Stainless Steel or Aluminium materials to your specific requirement.
FLOWDRILLING
The Flowdrill uses high rotational speed and high pressure to make holes in the desired material. The process is beneficial when there is a requirement for a thread in thin material without the use of thread inserts.
SHOT BLASTING & PAINTING
Our shot blasting & painting lines can handle plates and structural material up to 22m long, 1500mm wide and 500mm high. The maximum weight capacity is 10 tonnes. We offer a blast finish to SA2.5 in the paint colours of red and grey.
DE-COILING & SLITTING
We offer offers a comprehensive range of light gauge de-coiling, slitting and guillotining services.
DRILLING
Our drilling lines are heavy duty, high speed, high performance, fully automated and accurate. Offering drilled and countersunk holes, adding value and reducing your first stage manufacturing costs.
SAWING
Sawing capabilities of sections up to 1300mm x 700mm
Handling lengths up to 22m with a mitre cutting of up to 60 degrees
The typical cutting tolerance that can be achieved is +/- 2mm on the length and +/- 0.5 degrees on the mitre cut – tighter cutting tolerances may be achieved by prior agreement
Ability to saw heavy-duty steel profiles, single beams, bundles or layers
PUNCH & SHEAR
Processing flat steel from 50 × 5 up to 500 × 25 and angle steel from 50 x 50 x 5 up to 160 x 160 x 12
Producing brackets, gussets, rectangles and squares
Ability to provide the de-burring of individual punched holes in plates
CNC ROUTING
Ability to precision cut, groove, chamfer, channel and engrave various materials, including Aluminium, Composites and plastics 5mm thick up to 100mm
Folding and bending Composite and Aluminium panels
Cutting bespoke shapes and sign panels in one-offs or in high volumes
2D flat-cut letters, logos and other shapes
