Sheet Metal Supply expands in-house equipment line to fabricate thicker metals
- November 14, 2023
- News Release
- Laser Cutting
Sheet Metal Supply, a fabricator and supplier of custom metal construction products in Grayslake, Ill., has invested in new equipment to expand its capability into heavier metal products.
The Mazak Optiplex Nexus 3015 Fiber S7 laser cuts 1-in. stainless steel and mild steel, as well as 3/4-in. aluminum and copper. The AMADA EMK 3612 M2 turret punch press handles aluminum and mild steel up to 3/16 in. thick. And the 130-metric-tonne SafanDarley press brake allows the company to form aluminum up to 1/2 in.
Sheet Metal Supply can cut 20-ft. lengths of 1/4-in. aluminum and mild steel with its Accurshear 625020 hydraulic shear and can punch 3/8-in.-thick aluminum with its AMADA Coma-567 turret punch press.
With this equipment, the company can offer heavier gauges of substructural and structural components and outriggers, plus heavier and more durable façade panels and planters.
