Overview & Use Cases
Able Hardware provides production-grade fiber laser cutting for both sheet/plate and tube, integrated with forming, machining, 溶接, 仕上げ, 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 そして automatic welding.
Why this solution for precision, speed & 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 そして 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.
Typical industries & applications
- Industrial equipment & machinery: base plates, guards, brackets, service panels.
- Warehouse/logistics: gussets and panels for carts/racks (see /products/welding-trolley-carts/).
- Robotics & automation: riser plates, cell panels, lightening patterns that bend cleanly.
- HVAC/electrical: enclosure plates, perforated doors, busbar covers.
- Automotive/agricultural: skid plates, tabs, chassis brackets ready for fixture welding.

制限事項 & design-for-laser guidelines (min holes/slots, radii)
- Min hole Ø ≈ 1.0–1.2× material thickness
- Min slot width ≈ material thickness + 0.2 んん
- 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)
Manufacturing Options
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 そして micro-joints for kit stability
- Post-cut prep: deburr/chamfer, countersink, tapping (M3–M12 typical), re-aming of precision holes
Secondary ops: bending/forming, machining, 溶接; coating & パッケージング
- 形にする: press-brake bending with bend deduction tables; flat-to-form workflows
- CNC加工: critical bores/faces when GD&T requires tighter than laser spec
- 溶接: manual/robotic MIG (TIG if specified) に ISO 13920 B/C with ISO 5817 Class C default (Class b for visible joints), そして ISO 2553 weld symbols; see /services/automatic-welding/
- 仕上げ: powder coat (RAL, 70–100 µm), zinc plating, e-coat, industrial paint; surface prep to ISO 8501, coating selection by environment per ISO 12944; see /services/powder-coating/
- Export packaging: pallet/crate, interleaf to protect surfaces, labeled kits with barcodes and piece counts for line-side assembly
Types & Geometry
Common part families (brackets, panels, gussets, base plates, perforations) & sheet size bands
- Flat panels & doors (≤2000×4000 mm) with louvers/perforations
- Angle brackets & gussets with reliefs that bend cleanly after cutting
- Base plates with slot/hole patterns for adjustable mounting
- Perforated guards & screens with tuned open-area ratios
- Kitted blanks for frames/carts that proceed to bending/welding
品質 & テスト
What we verify (dimensional check, edge quality; DFT to ISO 2808) and documentation (CoC, inspection reports)
- In-process: dimensional checks vs DXF/DWG, edge burr & HAZ review, flatness sampling for large plates
- After finishing: DFT measured to ISO 2808, adhesion checks as specified
- Documents: CoC, inspection reports, material traceability and lot labels.

よくある質問
What metals and grades do you cut?
Q235/S235, Q355/S355, 304/316 stainless, 5052/6061/6082 アルミニウム, and galvanized steel. Specify finish condition (例えば。, 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 んん. Add small inside radii and avoid knife-edge features to improve edge quality and bend consistency.
Can you bend, 溶接, and coat after cutting?
Yes—forming, machining, MIG/TIG welding to ISO 13920 with ISO 5817 acceptance, and powder coat/e-coat/zinc plating per ISO 12944. See /services/automatic-welding/ そして /services/powder-coating/.
What about tube laser cutting?
We cut both sheet/plate and tube profiles (slots, 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, 厚さ, 量, 公差, finish, and packing notes.
