Metal sheet cutting is an essential process in manufacturing, directly affecting production efficiency, cutting quality, and operational costs. As a leading manufacturer of metal sheet cutting and forming automation equipment, Hengli provides industry-leading expertise to help you select the best cutting solutions for efficient, high-quality production and enhanced competitiveness.

Common Metal Sheet Cutting Methods


1. Mechanical Cutting:


Shearing – Ideal for thin sheets, offering high efficiency but lower precision.

Stamping – Suitable for mass production with high accuracy, though mold costs can be high.

Sawing – Best for thick sheets, ensuring precision but lower speed.

2. Thermal Cutting:


Oxy-fuel Cutting – Cost-effective for carbon steel but with lower precision.

Plasma Cutting – Versatile for various metals, offering fast and precise cutting but at a higher cost.

Laser Cutting – Provides the highest precision and quality for multiple metals but is the most expensive.

3. Waterjet Cutting:


Suitable for various metals, offering high cutting quality without heat-affected zones, though it is slower.

Key Factors in Choosing Metal Cutting Equipment


Material Type – Different materials require different cutting methods (e.g., high-strength steel is best cut with laser or plasma).

Thickness – The thicker the material, the greater the cutting power needed.

Precision Requirements – For high precision, laser or waterjet cutting is recommended.

Production Speed – Plasma or shearing is best for high-speed production.

Cost Considerations – Equipment purchase, operational, and maintenance costs must be factored in.

Automation Level – Choose based on production scale and automation needs.
