Aperçu & Cas d'utilisation
Able Hardware provides production-grade fiber laser cutting for both sheet/plate and tube, integrated with forming, usinage, soudage, finition, and export packaging. For OEM/ODM buyers, our laser cells deliver fast prototyping and repeatable volume runs with clean edges and stable dimensions ready for downstream assembly custom metal frames et Soudage automatique.
Why this solution for precision, vitesse & cost control
Fiber lasers cut most engineering metals quickly with minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ). Assisted gases (N₂/O₂/Air) and optimized nesting reduce scrap; micro-joints et etch marking keep kits intact and traceable. Typical cut accuracy ±0.10–0.20 mm with kerf ≈0.10–0.30 mm helps engineers hit assembly stack-ups without costly secondary machining.
Industries typiques & applications

- Warehouse/logistics: gussets and panels for carts/racks (see /products/welding-trolley-carts/).
- Robotique & automation: riser plates, cell panels, lightening patterns that bend cleanly.
- HVAC/electrical: enclosure plates, perforated doors, busbar covers.

Limites & design-for-laser guidelines (min holes/slots, radii)
- Min hole Ø ≈ 1.0–1.2× material thickness
- Min slot width ≈ material thickness + 0.2 millimètre
- Inside corners: add small fillets to reduce heat dwell and burr
- Tabs/bridges: sized per thickness to hold parts in sheet; removed in deburr
- Common-line cutting: permitted on compatible features to reduce burr/heat
- Etch marking: add shallow alphanumeric/part IDs for kitting (avoids labels during processing)
Options de fabrication
Cutting gases (N₂/O₂/Air), nesting & micro-joints; deburr, tap, countersink
- Assist gas:
- N₂ for stainless/aluminum cosmetic edges
- O₂ for thicker carbon steel throughput
- Air for cost-optimized runs (confirm edge spec)
- Nesting: yield-optimized layouts with kerf compensation et micro-joints for kit stability
- Post-cut prep: deburr/chamfer, countersink, tapping (M3–M12 typical), re-aming of precision holes
OPS secondaires: bending/forming, usinage, soudage; revêtement & emballage
- Formant: press-brake bending with bend deduction tables; flat-to-form workflows
- Usinage CNC: critical bores/faces when GD&T requires tighter than laser spec
- Soudage: manual/robotic MIG (TIG if specified) à ISO 13920 B / c with ISO 5817 Classer C default (Classer B for visible joints), et ISO 2553 weld symbols; see /services/automatic-welding/

FAQ
What metals and grades do you cut?
Q235 / S235, Q355 / S355, 304/316 inoxydable, 5052/6061/6082 aluminium, and galvanized steel. Specify finish condition (par exemple., 2B, brushed) if cosmetic.
What thickness limits apply?
Typical ranges: steel 0.8–25 mm, stainless 0.8–20 mm, aluminum 0.8–15 mm. We’ll confirm cut quality class (ISO 9013 2–4) by material and thickness.
What tolerances should I call out?
Use ISO 2768-m/f for non-critical features; specify GD&T for critical bores/faces. As-cut accuracy is commonly ±0.10–0.20 mm with kerf ≈0.10–0.30 mm.
Any design rules for holes and slots?
Min hole ≈1.0–1.2× thickness; min slot ≈ thickness + 0.2 millimètre. Add small inside radii and avoid knife-edge features to improve edge quality and bend consistency.
Can you bend, souder, and coat after cutting?
Yes—forming, usinage, MIG/TIG welding to ISO 13920 with ISO 5817 acceptance, and powder coat/e-coat/zinc plating per ISO 12944. Voir /services/automatic-welding/ et /services/powder-coating/.
What about tube laser cutting?
We cut both sheet/plate and tube profiles (machines à sous, copes, tab-and-slot for jig-free fit-up) and can deliver welded assemblies ready for installation.
What files do you accept?
DXF/DWG for flat parts; STEP/IGES for formed/welded assemblies. Include material, épaisseur, quantité, tolérances, finition, and packing notes.
