Aluminum Tool Kit Parts

Our dedication to customer service and innovation at Production Cutting Services has led to a reputation for providing solutions to even the most complex manufacturing challenges. Our customer contacted us regarding a large scale project that included the fabrication of tool boxes designed for the repair of military vehicles in the field. To create the tool boxes most efficiently, the aluminum components needed to be cut using a 3D laser cutting system. Due to its reflective nature and thermal conductivity, aluminum presents some challenges in flat laser cutting, let alone 3D cutting processes. The customer had not been able to find anyone willing to take on the project when they contacted us.

We were able to develop proprietary cutting methods which feature a hybrid laser process, to not only accurately cut the aluminum parts, but meet the customer’s time constraints. The 6061-T6 aluminum parts were fabricated from tubing and angle shapes that varied in length from 6” to 72”. To reduce costs, parts were nested which maximized efficiency while still allowing us to meet tolerances of ±0.010”. This project was completed in the specified timeline of three months.
