Water Jet Cutting Sheet Metal

Did you know there is another way to cut precision sheet metal? Believe it or not it is through the use of water jet cutting. A jet of water slices through the sheet metal by using water at a high velocity and pressure. Sometimes there is an abrasive substance mixed with the water to accomplish cutting through the sheetmetal.

Cutting Sheet Metal

If you were working at home with a piece of precision sheet metal, you would probably cut it with a set of tin snips. This would definitely not be productive in the manufacturing world. The manufacturing companies have turned to computers to attain more precise cutting of sheet metal. Many of these computers utilize lasers to cut the metal. Lasers use a beam of light to cut the sheet metal into the required shape.

Techniques To Shape Sheet Metal.

There are many techniques to shape sheet metal.  One of the most common forms of shaping precision sheet metal is known as “air bending.” This process can produce up to a 90 degree angle in the metal. Computerized or robotic press brakes can produce the most precise products with more capabilities. It is also faster and more economical than any other process, allowing for mass precision production. To find out more about our sheet metal visit us at  www.springfieldpressings.co.uk

 

Precision Sheet Metal

The thickness of sheet metal is called gauge and it ranges from 8 to 30 gauge. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Beyond thickness, precisionsheet metal is categorized by type, of which there are many components. Some measurable components of sheet metal are hardness, tensile strength, alloy composition and quality. Long, thin precision sheet metal parts are made by pressing, similar to pressing it into different forms or shapes. The machine that bends the metal into various shapes is called a brake press.

Sheet Metal

Every day you utilize many products made from precision sheet metal. Your car is probably made from sheet metal and when you drive to the doctor most medical tables are made from sheet metal as well. In your kitchen the cutlery, kitchen sink and fan blades are also metal products. Your satellite dish and jewellery as well as your mailbox and patio cover are additional sheet metal products we utilize every day.

Precision Sheet Metal

Precision sheet metal is simply metal that is formed into thin flat pieces. Sheet metal can be cut, bent and formed into almost any shape or metal product. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips. Thickness varies from very thin which is known as foil to very thick which is known as plate. Sheet metal is made from many different products, the most popular being steel and aluminium. However it can also be made from brass, tin, copper and nickel. Decorative sheet metals include silver, gold and platinum. To find out more about sheet metal services visit us online  http://www.springfieldpressings.co.uk/

Precision Sheet Metal Work

Sheet metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking, and can be cut and bent into a variety of different shapes. Countless everyday objects are constructed of the material. Thicknesses can vary significantly, although extremely thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate.
