Several small and huge firms provide metal fabrication services. Some of them provide huge amount of production at low costs and some provide bespoke services at high prices. The work of these companies totally depends on the type of clients they are...
If you work in the field of laser cutting metals, you might be familiar with the term named ‘Assist Gas’. You must also be aware that Oxygen and nitrogen are the two most commonly used assist gases and they are a very cost-effective option. But how do...
Maintenance is not just about fixing things and getting them to work the way they were. Several metal fabricators fail to understand this. Most of the times, they fail to maintain the equipment on a regular basis as it interrupts the production and affects...
When it comes to cutting metals, laser cutting is the most commonly used method. There are more than 100 different types of metals used by different industries as a part of their manufacturing process. In order to implement metal cutting efficiently and...
Laser cutting involves introducing a high-powered beam on a material that needs to be cut through. Thereafter, it vaporizes, melts or burns the surface of the material it touches. As laser cutting is executed by using state of the art equipment, there...
Laser cutting has certainly made the work of cutting metals tremendously easy. But it doesn’t come without its own set of rules and guidelines which one needs to follow to ensure the works is done as per the requirements. Even the slightest of mistakes...
Look around you and you will find many products and components that require precise sheet metal fabrication. Be it an aerospace part or a paper clip, its journey must have started with a piece of metal or alloy stock. People looking for metal fabrication...
Working around metal fabrication tools can prove to be dangerous sometimes. A little carelessness can lead to major accidents. Especially when it comes to tools like English wheels, it becomes very difficult to manage if you do not know how to use them...
When it comes to Laser Cutting Machine, you will come across several models, prices, and suppliers who claim that they can provide you with the best deal. But there are certain considerations you must make before investing into a laser cutting machine....
Ever since laser cutting has been introduced, it has replaced some of the most conventional methods of cutting. This is because it has the ability to implement cutting in ways that other machines can’t. When there is a need to implement complicated cutting...
When you see a steel table, do you see any ore and other metallic impurities in it? No, you generally don’t, until and unless somebody has made it too messy. But actually, that’s what every single metal table is made up of. So you can say, every table...
In the laser cutting, there are two main types of lasers used in producing exceptional machinery parts. CO2 lasers and fiber lasers. While CO2 lasers have the advantage of producing superior edge quality, Fiber lasers are rising as innovative cutters...
Apart from using manual and machine cutting of metals, modern technology has empowered us with many other types of metal cutting including flame, plasma, laser and waterjet cutting. By employing these types of technologies, one can obtain superior quality...
It is extremely difficult to cut highly reflective and non ferrous material by using CO2 laser technology. And as several issues come up when reflective materials are cut using laser machines, a lot of companies do not prefer to use them for cutting reflective...
Machines cannot replace the human expertise. While machine tools deliver results with precise specifications, the human factor is still an essential part for every operation. Let’s take an example of CNC press brakes. For CNC systems, manual efforts are...
When looking to buy a CO2 laser machine, it is important to consider a number of primary attributes. One of the primary attributes that bifurcate the type of laser tube which machine uses is its laser source. There are major two options including water-cooled...
Laser cutting is a process which uses a computer-administered process. It cuts the material with a computing process which generates a beam. The interface integration cuts the material along with the directions. Any of the material which comes in between...
Whether you are a laser machine operator or a company into the production of laser cut parts, buying a laser cutting machine is not something that you indulge into every day. Things are much easier when it comes to buying laser cutting parts. For example,...
Laser cutting, as you all know has become the to go process to cutting due to the convenience, ease, and quality of output it provides. As soon as the manufacturers embraced this form laser cutting, different types of laser cutting technologies followed....
Shearing is a fabricating process used to cut metal sheets. The Shear blade machine consists of a shear table, blank holders, upper and lower blades. A back gauge is used to make sure that the cutting process is streamlined. When it comes to a perfect...
Laser cutting is a method of cutting a design from given material. It is one of the coolest ways of bringing an imaginary design to life with accurate results. While it might be easy to cut out a small design by hand, laser cutter can do much more. You...
Recently, two laser cutting engineering experts, Steve Pugh and Danny Lerman presented a survey reports at FA BTECH in Las Vegas. The report’s name is “How Different Steel Surfaces Affect Laser Cutting Speed and Quality?: A Quantified Case Study”. Their...
Professional metal fabricators must know about the most efficient and latest metal cutting machinery. Right from laser cutters and shear blades to CNC machining software and metal working machinery, it is important for them to have knowledge about the...
