Thick Plate Cutting up to 80 mm — Laser, Plasma and Flame
Cutting is where the tolerance budget for the whole part gets spent or saved. We quote cut quality by ISO 9013 range rather than by a number we made up.
Capability
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Laser, carbon steel | 20 mm | Max sheet 2000 × 6000 |
| Laser, stainless steel | 10 mm | — |
| Plasma | 40 mm | — |
| Flame | 80 mm | — |
| Cut quality | ISO 9013 Range 2 | Perpendicularity u and Rz5 |
| Cut dimensional tolerance | ±1.0 mm | Thickness dependent |
| Bevel cutting | V, X, K, Y up to 45° | — |
| After the cut | Deburring, grinding, levelling | Edge preparation to your weld detail |
- Thermal cutting to ISO 9013 Range 2 as standard.
- Weldment dimensional tolerances to ISO 13920 Class B as standard, a tighter class on request.
- Weld quality to ISO 5817 Level C as standard, Level B where the drawing specifies it.
- Machined features to ISO 2768-m unless the drawing states otherwise.
- Surface preparation to ISO 8501-1 Sa 2½, coating systems to ISO 12944 up to C4.
Frequently asked
- What thickness can you actually cut, and with what?
- Up to 80 mm by flame, 40 mm by plasma and 20 mm by laser on carbon steel. Above that the edge quality changes and we will tell you what to expect before you order.
- How do you specify cut quality?
- By ISO 9013 range. Range 2 is our standard. That standard defines cut quality by perpendicularity tolerance u and mean profile height Rz5, both of which scale with thickness — which is why a single number like ±0.5 mm tells you very little on its own.
- Do you supply the plate or do we?
- Normally we buy it, and you get the EN 10204 3.1 certificate and the melt-and-pour origin with the parts. If you prefer to supply free-issue plate, we can work with that — tell us at quotation stage.
Project pages are being prepared. If you want to see comparable work now, ask and we will send the relevant dimensional reports and photographs under NDA.
