A Dual Pallet Laser Cutter turns flat sheet into accurate blanks without any tooling, which is why it suits both one-off parts and repeat batches equally well. Supplied to vending and kiosk builds, this Dual Pallet Laser Cutter is configured with a tube attachment for round and square section. CNC fibre laser cutting with automatic nesting and height sensing is carried out on equipment that holds ±0.1 mm across a full shift, not only on a first piece.
Tolerance is applied where it does work rather than across the whole drawing. Critical features are held to ±0.1 mm, non-critical dimensions follow the general machining tolerance, and the difference is stated in the quotation rather than discovered later.

Manufacturing process
Work is carried out with CNC fibre laser cutting with automatic nesting and height sensing. Tooling, speeds and fixturing are recorded with the part number, so a repeat order starts from a proven process instead of a fresh setup.
Material is purchased against a certificate and checked on receipt, so the composition is known before any cutting starts. Work in progress is identified by part number and operation, and the finished parts are deburred, cleaned and protected before they leave the machine area.
Typical applications
Most of the work supplied in this category falls into the following examples.
- Machine guards and access panels.
- Enclosure panels and brackets.
- Chassis and frame plates.
- Architectural and decorative screens.
- Equipment racks and shelves.
Quality control and documentation
Critical features are measured on calibrated equipment in a controlled room, and the results are filed with the job so that a repeat order can be compared with the first.
Material certificates to EN 10204 3.1, dimensional reports and first article inspection reports are issued with the shipment where the application requires them. Calibration dates and measurement uncertainty are recorded alongside every result.
Ordering, lead time and packaging
Packaging is specified by the part: individual protection for finished surfaces, separation for assemblies, and export crating with a packing list for shipment.
Frequently asked questions
What thickness can a fibre laser cut?
A 3 kW source cuts up to 12 mm carbon steel and 6 mm stainless steel cleanly; 6 kW reaches 20 mm carbon steel, and 12 kW sources handle 25 mm plate in production.
Is there a heat affected zone?
Yes, but it is small: typically 0.1 to 0.3 mm on the cut edge, and it is removed by a light grind where the part is welded or fatigue loaded afterwards.
Can you supply material and inspection certificates?
Yes. Material certificates to EN 10204 3.1, full dimensional reports, first article inspection reports and, where required, PPAP or AS9102 documentation are issued with the shipment.
Drawings are reviewed for manufacturability before quotation, and any feature that adds cost without adding function is pointed out at that stage rather than after the parts are made.
