Two Great Things That Go Great Together – Laser Cutting and Press Brake

Leave a Comment

With all apologies to Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups’ marketing team, let’s try that delicious blend of Laser Cutting and Programmable Press Brake Fabrication! If you’re in the business of turning sheet metal into something useful, you already know how crucial it is to get things done right the first time. Over here at US Metal Crafters, we’re all about making sure your parts are precise, consistent, and ready to go—especially when you’re dealing with runs between 1,500 and 5,000 pieces.

You Got Laser Cutting on My Press Brake!

First up, let’s talk about laser cutting. You’re missing out if you’re not already using laser cutting for your part manufacturing. This isn’t your granddad’s plasma cutting table—laser cutting brings some serious advantages:

  1. Spot-On Precision: When you need every single part to be the same—every time—laser cutting is your best friend. It is perfect for intricate designs and tight tolerances we all know and love and provides consistency you can count on.
  2. Works with Almost More Metals: Whether you’re working with galvanized, stainless steel, carbon, or something else, laser cutting can handle it. It doesn’t matter if it’s thin gauge or thick; this laser makes clean, precise cuts every time.
  3. Efficient and Cost-Effective: Let’s face it, nobody likes wasting material—or money. Laser cutting is super-efficient, so you get the most out of your raw materials with minimal scrap. It’s a win-win for your bottom line.

Okay, so once your metal’s been cut, it’s time to bend and form it into shape. That’s where a programmable press brake comes in. If you’re already familiar with press brakes, you know the deal, but this bad boy takes it to the next level:

  1. Precision Bending and Forming: We’ve all been there—trying to get that perfect bend just right. With a programable press brake, you’ve got total control. It’s all about getting that angle spot-on so everything fits together like a glove. Plus, add the speed and accuracy of custom dies for your project, and it gets even richer.
  2. Get It Done Faster: Time is money, and this machine knows it. A programmable press brake cuts down on setup times and speeds up the whole process. You get more parts out the door faster without sacrificing quality, keeping your costs down.
  3. Handles All Kinds of Fabrication: This press brake doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Whether you’re working with different materials or dealing with complex forms, it’s versatile enough to handle whatever you throw at it.
  4. Consistency Across the Board: Just like with laser cutting, consistency is king. Every bend is as precise as the last one, so you can rest easy knowing your parts are going to match up perfectly.
