About AD Laser Cutting
AD Laser Cutting Ltd is a contract manufacturing company from Littleborough (Greater Manchester, UK) offering CNC fibre laser cutting and press braking as subcontract services. In its own 10,000 sq.ft laser cutting facility, two fibre laser systems operate around the clock in 24/7 operation, cutting sheet metal up to 3000 x 1500 mm; steel and stainless steel are processed up to 20 mm thick (cut edge up to 25 mm), aluminium up to 20 mm, and brass and copper up to 12 mm. Fibre lasers are particularly suitable for thin sheet and reflective materials such as aluminium, copper and brass, and produce minimal distortion thanks to low heat input. Laser cutting is complemented by press brakes with a bending length of up to 3 m and 120 t of press force, as well as an in-house CAD department that checks drawings and creates manufacturing programs. Upon request, the company also handles material procurement and delivers across Great Britain with its own fleet of vehicles or via a pallet network; typical lead times are 3–5 days. With BS/EN 1090 certification, the company serves, among others, structural steelwork.
