Laser Cutting
& Sheet Metal

Cut, formed, welded and finished sheet metal — enclosures, panels and cabinets, where the part is usually fine and the assembly is where it goes wrong.

What we buy

Processes we buy

  • Laser cuttingFibre and CO₂ on mild steel, stainless and aluminium.
  • Turret punchingWhere the part is hole-dense and the volume suits a turret.
  • Press brake formingCNC bending with tooling and bend sequence specified.
  • Welded assembliesMIG, TIG and spot, with weld symbols and inspection agreed.
  • Enclosures and panelsCabinets, chassis, panels and racks with hardware fitted.
  • FinishingPowder coat, plating, passivation, silk-screen and assembly.
Acceptance criteria

What we fix before cutting

These goods are bought to a drawing, a grade and a tolerance. That only works if the drawing is controlled, the features that actually matter are named, and the supplier can measure them repeatably.

Flat patternBend allowance and developed length agreed against the supplier’s own tooling.
Material and finishGrade, thickness, coating and the face that must stay unmarked.
Bend toleranceAngular and dimensional tolerance across the assembly, not just per bend.
Weld specificationWeld type, size and symbol, with the acceptance criteria named.
HardwareInserts, studs and standoffs specified by part number and torque.
CoatingPowder system, colour standard, film thickness and adhesion test.
Fit checkAssembly fit verified on a first article, not assumed from the CAD.

Every criterion above appears in the inspection report as a pass or a fail, with the measured value beside it and the gauge named. A first article is signed off before any bulk is produced.

Risk & compliance

What we screen before a sample is quoted

Tolerance stack-up

Every bend is within tolerance and the finished cabinet still does not close. Assembly-level tolerance is agreed up front, because it is the one that matters.

Weld quality

Cosmetically ground welds hiding poor penetration. Where it is structural, inspection method and acceptance are named before production.

Coating adhesion

Inadequate pre-treatment shows up as field failures months after arrival. Adhesion and salt-spray expectations are set on the sample.

Fume and safety

Laser fume extraction and welding ventilation are routine audit findings in smaller fabrication units.

Sheet metal is the easiest capability to acquire and the hardest to do consistently. The gap between units inside one industrial estate is very wide.
