Cutting - steels and metals - Import export

Our specialist-built cutting shop is fully equipped to suit your needs. In addition to our laser cutting facilities, we have a bank of fully automatic and semi-automatic cutting machines ready to process materials up to 3,000mm in length. With the capability to hold tight tolerances (+/- 0.20mm) on diameters ranging from 6mm - 153mm, our cutting services are the cost-effective option for high volume repetitive cut orders. Whether you choose the built-in deburring and washing options or the stand alone alternatives available alongside the cutting service, your components will be completed to a high standard of finish.

Our state-of-the-art fibre laser provides you an unprecedented level of freedom in design. Capable of processing tube and box material in varying aluminium, stainless steel and titanium grades and thicknesses. Our laser service provides you with a wealth of new options to consider. As an All-In-One Solution, our laser can do more than just cut material. The laser can implement multiple functions in a single operation, including: cutting, drilling, notching and etching. What once would have taken hours and multiple operations and personnel, now only takes seconds with the help of our friendly Laser Operators, Adrian and Martin. Opposed to traditional cutting methods, laser machines do not require contact upon cutting, -minimising contamination and unwanted marking to the material. When paired with the internal suction probe (more commonly known as “the spoon”), we can produce a final product to a higher standard of finish both in terms of cleanliness and aesthetically.

Utilising the latest in Fibre Laser Cutting technology Alpha Manufacturing are able to offer a versatile laser cutting service in various material types including; Mild Steel, Coated Steels, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Wood and Plastics. We currently operate one Co2 Bystronic Laser, one Bystronic BySprintFiber 4020 machine and our latest addition to our Laser service, the Trumpf Trulaser 3030 fibre machine. Fibre optic laser is the latest technology in laser cutting, with complete accuracy and ultra high-speed cutting (whilst also using fewer power resources than traditional lasers, meaning reduced costs to the customer).

Traditionally, perforated tube is manufactured through a lengthy operation starting with flat strip metal that goes through four stages of processing before completion. This is a time-consuming and costly procedure with chances for complications throughout the process. We’ve innovated the way perforated tube is processed by perforating pre-formed tube in one operation. This saves you time, money and hassle as it eliminates the long process and any production issues that can occur, while providing a visually enhanced product. Our five perforating machines can perforate stainless steel, titanium and aluminium tubes from 38mm to 101.60mm⌀, in lengths up to 750mm long. The specialist tool design allows tube perforation in various patterns that can be tailored to produce bespoke and unique patterns and shapes.

We provide our customers with the opportunity to get their materials processed before they even leave the warehouse – providing a leaner and more cost-effective manufacturing process. With large quantities of material stored on site, you’ll benefit from shorter lead times and better material availability compared to third party subcontractors. Thanks to recent investments, our manipulation service operates across two sites, equipped with several single and multi-stack benders and end-forming machines. Through these sites, we provide CNC and Press tube bending, end-forming and cruxiforming - providing the Group the capability to process and deliver orders faster than ever before. Our manipulation services are currently being employed within the automotive, domestic appliance and filtration industries.
