It’s not often that a question arises which can cause chaos in the ranks at Yorkshire Profiles but during the processing of a large order an interesting issue came to light which required a bit of external advice. The material in question is 4003 Grade Stainless Steel, also known as 3CR12. This material is supplied with […]
Our latest investment has now been installed and will begin to benefit our clients immediately. The “NitroCube” nitrogen generation and storage system will be used to create the assist gases required for our laser. This gives us more control over the amount of gasses used and the main benefits will be for our clients and […]
We often work on prototype products which are about to enter the market and some catch our eye more than others. This product required us to produce an accurate radius bend and a presentable tight fitting case. We just love the colour the inventor has chosen for his designs! The fact that this product is made […]
At Yorkshire Profiles we manufacture “hoppers” of all kind in various shapes and sizes for different industries. Quite often these have a “Square to Round” shape. This term is used even if the part is more of a rectangular shape to round, or even to an oval shape. Mild steel “Square to Round” cut and folded Square […]
We were recently asked to manufacture a one off small disk for a University project which was quite challenging for our laser. The main problem was that it was to be made out of thin mild steel. The disk had to have very narrow slots put in leaving only 0.2mm of material between each slot. […]
This project was to fully fabricate a stainless steel gantry for the food industry. This stainless steel fabrication was designed by one of our clients and fully fabricated by ourselves to their specifications. First the stainless steel box sections were cut to length and welded to create the frame. The facia plates were nearly 4 […]
Capturing the moment when a 4Kw laser pierces mild steel is always spectacular. Capturing the moment the laser piercing steel always makes for good pictures. A 4Kw laser can very quickly pierce through mild steel. Close up of our “eco pierce” on 10mm thick mild steel.
We understand that sometimes a drawing isn’t available and all you have is a part you require to be replicated. This is not a problem, our team can take the measurements off a sample you can provide to us and we can draw it up for you. We can then make any adjustments to the […]
This part was cut using only a single line. The heat from the laser cutting didn’t seem to affect the quality despite it being a lot of cutting in a 10mm mild steel plate. The narrowest part is only 1mm. This sample was manufactured using only 1 cut.
We are able to use our industrial laser to etch part numbers onto steel and stainless plates. This is not the same as laser engraving and the quality isn’t ideal for “display purposes”. It is ideal for assisting with identifying parts or for markings with an industrial nature. All etching is single line and we […]
