Thick plate is where a little planning at enquiry stage saves the most time at the weld. Here is what to settle before the plate goes on the bed.
Thickness and material
We laser cut mild steel up to 50 mm, stainless steel up to 40 mm and aluminium up to 30 mm. Cutting beds are 12,000 × 2,500 mm and 6,000 × 2,000 mm, so large plates and long parts can be cut in one piece.
Plan the edges for the weld
Bevels up to 45 degrees can be cut in the same pass, so butt joints arrive prepared for welding. Tell us which edges are welded, which bevel angle you need, and which edges stay square.
Checklist to send with the enquiry
- Drawing or DXF, with thickness and grade for each part.
- Quantity per part and total plate size if you are supplying material.
- Bevel angle and edges, if any.
- Bolt holes, with the position and size you need.
- Material certificates or inspection requirements.
- What happens next: bending, welding, coating, and the delivery date.
The plate then moves to CNC bending, welding and finishing in the same workshop. Send your plate drawings or DXF files or call +971 4 566 7219. See also steel fabrication in Dubai.
