At Kakade Laser, precision is not created by a single machine. It is built step by step through a controlled sheet metal fabrication process.
A precision component starts long before it reaches the shop floor. The process begins with a customer's technical drawing, model or specification. The engineering team reviews the requirements and prepares the job for production.
The typical manufacturing journey includes:
Drawing and order submission
CNC programming and production planning
CNC bending and forming
Fabrication and welding
Surface finishing
Quality inspection
Packing and dispatch
Each operation has a specific purpose, and the accuracy of one stage can influence the next.
Once the design and production plan are ready, the sheet moves into the cutting stage. Kakade Laser uses fibre laser cutting for materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and brass. Its website states cutting precision of up to ±0.1 mm.
Accurate cutting creates the foundation for subsequent bending, fabrication and assembly operations.
After cutting, components may undergo CNC bending or forming depending on the design. Simple bends and complex multi-stage forming requirements can require careful process planning to achieve the intended geometry.
This is where a flat sheet begins to take the three-dimensional shape defined by the engineering drawing.
Some components require additional fabrication or welding. Depending on the application, Kakade Laser offers TIG, MIG, laser and aluminium welding processes. Fixtures and gauges are used where required to support consistent fit-up and accuracy.
Surface finishing can then provide the required appearance and functional characteristics. Available processes include powder coating, anodising and other surface treatments.
Precision manufacturing doesn't end when the component leaves the machine. Kakade Laser's process includes final visual and dimensional inspection, with checks performed according to the component and customer requirements. Parts are then safely packed and dispatched.
This step-by-step approach helps transform raw sheet metal into finished components ready for their intended application.
The next time you see a finished sheet metal component, remember that its simplicity may hide a detailed manufacturing journey.
At Kakade Laser, the objective is to bring cutting, bending, fabrication, finishing and quality control together to deliver customized precision engineering and sheet metal components.
