Construction & Infrastructure Applications
Construction & Infrastructure
The construction and infrastructure industry is the foundation of modern cities and communities. From residential buildings to large commercial complexes, bridges, and transport systems, sheet metal fabrication plays a vital role in producing doors, elevator cabins, support brackets, and cable trays. These components must be manufactured with precision and durability to ensure safety, reliability, and long service life. FormNCut machines provide the advanced technology required to meet these demands, helping builders and infrastructure developers achieve high standards of quality and efficiency.
Laser Cutting Machines in Construction & Infrastructure
FormNCut Fiber Laser Cutting Machines are widely used to cut stainless steel, aluminium, and galvanized sheets for construction projects. Their ability to deliver clean, distortion‑free cuts makes them indispensable for producing strong and reliable building components.
- Metal door cutting – Fiber lasers cut doors and frames with clean edges, ensuring proper fit and long‑lasting durability.
- Elevator cabin parts – Precision cutting improves fitment of stainless‑steel elevator panels, ensuring smooth assembly and safety.
- Building support brackets – Strong structural brackets are cut with exact dimensions, providing stability in construction projects.
Advantages of Laser Cutting Machines
- High precision ensures proper fitment of doors, cabins, and brackets
- Ability to cut stainless steel and galvanized sheets without distortion
- Faster production cycles compared to mechanical cutting methods
- Clean edges reduce secondary finishing work
- Reliable performance across a wide range of construction metals
Operational Process of Laser Cutting
- Sheet metal is loaded onto the cutting bed.
- CAD designs for doors, elevator panels, or brackets 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 Construction & Infrastructure
FormNCut® CNC Press Brakes, including Hydraulic Servo Press Brakes and MAPA Panel Benders, are essential for bending sheet metal into sturdy frames, elevator structures, and cable trays. These machines deliver accurate angles and repeatable bends, which are critical for construction and infrastructure projects.
- Door frame bending – Press brakes form sturdy frames for industrial and commercial doors, ensuring strength and durability.
- Elevator cabin structures – Complex bends for elevator cabins are produced with accuracy and smooth finishes, supporting safe operation.
- Cable tray bending – Bending machines produce all standard cable tray forms (C/Z/U shapes), ensuring proper support for electrical wiring systems.
Advantages of Bending Machines
- CNC control ensures precise angles and repeatable bends
- Strong, durable bends improve safety and reliability in construction projects
- 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, cabins, or trays.
- 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, cabins, or trays are inspected for accuracy before installation.
Laser cutting ensures clean, distortion‑free edges, while bending machines form strong, accurate structures. Together, they help builders and developers produce safe, reliable, and high‑quality components that meet modern construction standards and support long‑term infrastructure growth.
