Sheet Metal Fabrication Sizes & Tolerances: An Overview of CNCLATHING's Standard Capabilities
Blog Article
As a leading sheet metal fabrication service provider, CNCLATHING maintains thorough knowledge and experience regarding common dimensions, features and tolerances associated with the process. Understanding these specifications is crucial for engineers and designers developing metallic components.
At CNCLATHING, sheet metal is generally fabricated in sizes up to 47 inches by 119 inches maximum, with formed parts measuring a minimum of 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. Flat parts can start as small as 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch. Bend length tops out at 10 feet for complex contours.
Hole diameters and positions relative to edges, bends and other holes are consistently held to a +/- 0.010 inch tolerance. Similarly, features separated by two or more bends allow for a +/- 0.060 inch tolerance range. Offsets maintain precision within +/- 0.024 inches. These tolerances meet strict aerospace, medical and other industrial standards.
Bends require extra attention, with CNCLATHING guaranteeing angular accuracy to within two degrees. Such precision results from well-calibrated brake presses and years of benchmark testing various alloys. Edge-to-edge, hole-to-hole and similar dimensions hold to +/- 0.010 inch by default.
Optimal manufacturing relies on understanding these parameters. CNCLATHING's size limits and sheet metal fabrication tolerance standard ensures customers receive fabricated components meeting the most demanding technical requirements for fit and form. Whether prototyping or mass production, designers can depend on the workshop's accuracy to transform drafting concepts into robust metallic parts.
With ISO certification and complete facilities for cutting, deburring, surface treatment and assembly, CNCLATHING handles any sheet metal fabrication project with quality control. Contact their experts for assistance with specifications, testing or guidance on proper material selection.
