Industrial Machinery Applications
Automotive & Transportation
The industrial machinery sector is the backbone of manufacturing, construction, and heavy engineering. It includes equipment such as machine tools, conveyors, gearboxes, and large mechanical systems that require strong, durable, and precisely fabricated sheet metal components. Every part must be manufactured with accuracy to ensure smooth operation, safety, and long service life. FormNCut machines provide the precision, speed, and reliability needed to fabricate these critical components, helping manufacturers meet global standards and customer expectations.
Laser Cutting Machines in Industrial Machinery
FormNCut Fiber Laser Cutting Machines are widely used to cut thick and thin sheets of steel, stainless steel, and aluminium for industrial applications. Their ability to handle heavy materials with precision makes them indispensable in machinery fabrication.
- Machine body fabrication – Fiber lasers cut large machine frames and panels with exact dimensions, ensuring perfect alignment during assembly.
- Gearbox cover cutting – Thick plates used in gearboxes are cut cleanly, avoiding distortion and ensuring proper sealing.
- Material handling parts – Robust parts for conveyors, lifters, and other handling systems are cut with strength and accuracy.
Advantages of Laser Cutting Machines
- High precision ensures proper fitment of machine components
- Ability to cut thick plates without distortion
- Faster production cycles compared to mechanical cutting methods
- Clean edges reduce secondary finishing work
- Reliable performance across a wide range of industrial metals
Operational Process of Laser Cutting
- Heavy sheet metal is loaded onto the cutting bed.
- CAD designs for machine frames, covers, or parts are programmed into the CNC controller.
- The fiber laser beam is focused through collimating and focusing lenses.
- Assist gases (oxygen, nitrogen, or air) are regulated to achieve clean cuts.
- Height sensors maintain consistent distance between nozzle and sheet.
- Finished parts are unloaded, ready for assembly with minimal finishing.
Bending Machines in Industrial Machinery
FormNCut CNC Press Brakes, including Hydraulic Servo Press Brakes and MAPA Panel Benders, are essential for bending sheet metal into strong frames, cabinets, and enclosures. These machines deliver accurate angles and repeatable bends, which are critical for industrial machinery.
- Machine frame bending – Press brakes form strong structural components for machinery, ensuring durability and stability.
- Industrial cabinet bending – Enclosures for electrical and mechanical systems are bent precisely, protecting sensitive equipment.
Advantages of Bending Machines
- CNC control ensures precise angles and repeatable bends
- Strong, durable bends improve machinery safety and reliability
- Ability to bend both thin and thick sheets with equal accuracy
- Servo systems reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency
- Crowning systems compensate for deflection, ensuring uniform bends
Operational Process of Bending
- Sheet metal is positioned using back gauges and sensors.
- CNC controller programs the bending sequence for frames or cabinets.
- Punch and die tooling apply force to bend the sheet into the required shape.
- Crowning systems adjust for deflection, ensuring uniform bends across the sheet.
- Servo motors deliver smooth, controlled movement for precise bending.
- Finished frames and enclosures are inspected for accuracy before assembly.
Laser cutting ensures clean, distortion‑free edges, while bending machines form strong, accurate structures. Together, they help manufacturers produce safe, reliable, and high‑quality machinery that meets modern industry standards and supports global manufacturing needs.
