Where we fit into mining & industrial work

Laser Cutting Experts is a flat-part cutting partner for mining sites, heavy industry, OEMs and fabrication shops. We do not fabricate complete skids or structures – we specialise in cutting the flat components that feed into your own fabrication or maintenance workflows, with realistic lead times and consistent quality.

  • Mining & processing plants
    Wear plates, liners, guards, covers and walkway plates cut from steel and abrasion-resistant materials for conveyors, chutes, transfer points and screening equipment.
  • Industrial & utilities
    Brackets, base plates, mounting panels and enclosures components for utilities, water treatment, manufacturing lines and heavy service environments.
  • OEMs & fabricators
    Repeatable flat parts and kits that slot into your own welding, assembly and coating processes – ideal for skids, frames, guarding systems and machinery builds.

Materials we cut for mining & industrial projects

We work with the common metals and sheet materials used around plants, processing facilities and heavy industrial sites, within our flat cutting envelope and standard thickness ranges.

Flat sheets up to 1500mm x 3000mm

Metals

  • Mild steel plate and sheet for brackets, plates, frames and guards
  • Stainless steel for corrosive and hygiene-critical areas
  • Aluminium for lightweight covers, guards and panels

Plastics & composites

  • HDPE and UHMWPE for wear liners and impact plates (flat only)
  • Acrylic and polycarbonate for guards, windows and viewing panels
  • ACM and signage substrates for plant identification and safety signs

Rubbers, foams & gasket materials

  • Rubber and cork sheet for simple flat gaskets and pads
  • Foams for bump stops, spacers and cushioning
  • Other gasket-grade sheet supplied by you, cut as flat profiles

Typical Mining & Industrial Parts We Cut

The list below covers the kind of flat parts we regularly cut for heavy industry. You keep control of the design and engineering; we focus on reliable cutting and logical kitting.

Plant, Equipment & Structural

  • Base plates, doubler plates and stiffener plates for structures and skids
  • Guards and covers for conveyors, drives, couplings and rotating equipment
  • Wear plates and liners for chutes, hoppers and transfer points (flat only)
  • Ladder, platform and handrail infill panels from metal and plastics

Support, Services & Identification

  • Brackets and mounting plates for pipework, tray and instrumentation
  • Backplates and fascias for control panels and enclosures
  • Plant ID plates, tag panels and safety signage (flat cut and printed)
  • Shims, packers and spacer plates for alignment and levelling

Capabilities for Mining & Industrial Cutting

Accuracy, Thickness & Sheet Size

  • Flat laser cutting of mild steel, stainless and aluminium within our standard thickness range.
  • CNC router cutting of plastics, composites and non-ferrous materials.
  • Digital knife cutting of rubbers, foams and gasket sheet for flat profiles.
  • Sheets and plates nested up to 1500mm x 3000mm for efficient use of material.

Exact thickness ranges depend on material type and job requirements. Critical tolerances and fit-up details can be discussed at quoting stage so we choose the right cutting approach.

Finishing & Integration

  • Clean cut edges ideal for welding, bolting and further fabrication.
  • Etching/marking options on metal parts to identify part numbers, orientation or weld prep.
  • Coordination with signage and printing for safety signs and ID plates through associated facilities.
  • Kitting, bundling and labelling by area, equipment ID or work pack.

We focus on cutting and part preparation. Where required, we can coordinate with your own coating, galvanizing or painting suppliers to align part handling and packing.

Why mining & industrial teams work with us

Built for real-world timing

Shutdowns, outages and tie-ins rarely move slowly. We plan cutting around realistic timeframes, communicate clearly if something changes, and help prioritise what needs to land on site first.

Logical kitting for site

Parts can be bundled and labelled by work pack, area or piece of equipment so crews are not sorting through mixed pallets in the dark. This can be the difference between a smooth shutdown and a long night.

Support for both one-offs and programmes

We handle one-off urgent parts as well as standard kits and repeat components for OEMs and fabricators. Once a design is proven, re-ordering is simply a matter of quoting the drawing or kit reference.

Multiple materials, one partner

Modern plants use steel, aluminium, plastics, rubber and composites side by side. We cut all of these flat on the same set of machines, simplifying purchasing and coordination for planners and supervisors.

Design Tips for Flat-Cut Mining & Industrial Parts

Small decisions in the design phase can save hours on site. These guidelines help keep cutting efficient and installation straightforward.

Details, Tolerances & Fit-Up

  • Allow realistic holes, slots and clearances so parts assemble without on-site drilling or grinding.
  • Highlight any critical dimensions or matching hole patterns that must line up with existing plant.
  • Consider access routes – very long plates may need to be split into manageable sections.
  • Where possible, standardise hole sizes and patterns across repeated items for easier spares.

Material & Thickness Choices

  • Match material grade and thickness to wear, corrosion and load conditions – especially on wear plates and guards.
  • Use plastics or composites where impact, noise or weight reduction are priorities.
  • For outdoor or corrosive environments, favour stainless or properly coated mild steel.
  • Talk to us early if you want to combine steel plates with plastics, rubber or signage in the same job.

How we work with mining & industrial customers

A straightforward process that works whether you are planning a shutdown, building new equipment or stocking spares.

1. Scope & drawings

Share the scope, timing, drawings and any existing part references. We confirm what is suited to laser, router or knife cutting.

2. Pricing & options

We price based on material, sheet usage (up to 1500mm x 3000mm), cutting time and any kitting requirements, flagging potential optimisations.

3. Files & nesting

Files are checked and nested for yield and practicality on site. We agree on labelling and packing conventions, especially for shutdown work.

4. Cutting & QC

Parts are cut on the most suitable machines, checked against key dimensions and grouped into work packs, pallets or crates ready to ship.

5. Delivery & re-orders

We coordinate deliveries to site or your workshop. Proven parts and kits are catalogued for quick re-ordering in future campaigns or outages.

Simple plates and brackets can often be drawn and quoted the same day.

FAQ

Our cutting service is based on working from your drawings, models, scans or confirmed dimensions. In most cases, site measurements and engineering are handled by your team or your design partners, then we cut to suit those details.

Our machines are set up around flat boards and plates up to 1500mm x 3000mm. Larger plates can often be pre-cut or designed in sections that still achieve the required performance once installed.

In many cases yes, within our thickness and bed size limits. When quoting, let us know the grade, thickness and any specific requirements so we can confirm suitability and advise on edge quality and downstream processing.

Our core focus here is cutting flat parts and preparing kits. Welding, full fabrication and on-site installation are typically handled by your own teams or specialist contractors. For some signage and lighter fabrication work, our associated groups may assist – talk to us about your scope.

Pricing is based on material type and thickness, sheet usage, cutting time and kitting requirements. Larger runs, repeat kits and well-optimised nests are significantly more efficient than one-off emergency parts, but we support both where needed.
