Powering Electrical Enclosure Projects: How Our 3000W Laser Cuts 1.5mm Steel with Precision

For electrical enclosure manufacturers, every cut matters. The thin steel sheets (often 1.5mm thick) need sharp, burr – free edges to ensure proper assembly, safety, and durability. That’s why one of our key clients—an industry – leading electrical enclosure producer—chose our 3000W laser cutting solutions to streamline their production.

Let’s break down how our equipment turned their challenges into efficiency.

The Client’s Need: Consistency for 1.5mm Steel Electrical Enclosures
Electrical enclosures demand zero margin for error. Our client specializes in custom enclosures for industrial control systems, where 1.5mm cold – rolled steel is the material of choice—it’s thin enough for easy shaping but strong enough to protect internal components.

Their old cutting process had two major issues:

  1. Inconsistent edges: Manual cutting left burrs, forcing extra sanding time that delayed orders.
  1. Slow turnaround: With high order volumes, their previous equipment couldn’t keep up with demand for 500+ enclosure panels per week.
They needed a solution that could handle 1.5mm steel with precision and speed—and our 3000W laser cutters delivered exactly that.
Our 3000W Laser: Built for 1.5mm Steel Perfection

What makes our 3000W laser ideal for this project? Let’s look at the technical specs that made the difference:

  • Power match for thin steel: 3000W is the sweet spot for 1.5mm steel. It’s strong enough to cut through the material in a single pass (no repeated cuts that risk warping) but gentle enough to avoid melting or distorting the thin metal.
  • Cutting speed that saves time: Our laser hits a speed of 3–5 meters per minute for 1.5mm steel. For our client’s standard 600x800mm enclosure panels, that means cutting one panel in under 2 minutes—compared to 5+ minutes with their old setup.
  • Precision that eliminates rework: The laser’s positioning accuracy is ±0.1mm, so every hole, slot, and edge matches the client’s CAD designs perfectly. No more burrs, no more misaligned parts—just panels ready for assembly right off the machine.

The Result: 40% Faster Production, Zero Rework

Since switching to our 3000W laser cutters, the client’s operations have transformed:
  • Faster delivery: They now complete 500+ 1.5mm steel panels per week with ease—cutting their production time by 40%. This let them take on 2 new large – scale orders without delaying existing clients.
  • Cost savings: No more extra labor for deburring or reworking faulty parts. The client estimates they’ve cut labor costs related to cutting by 25% since partnering with us.
  • Consistent quality: Their end customers (industrial manufacturers) have reported fewer enclosure assembly issues, boosting the client’s reputation for reliability.

Why This Matters for Your Electrical Enclosure or Thin Steel Project

If you work with 1.5mm steel (or similar thin metals) for electrical enclosures, control panels, or other precision parts, our 3000W laser cutters offer:
  • A proven track record with industry clients.
  • Technical specs tailored to thin steel (power, speed, precision).
  • A partner that understands your need for consistency and speed.

FAQ's about sheet metal fabrication service

There are many types of materials available for sheet metal customization: cold rolled sheet (SPCC), hot rolled sheet (SPHC), electro-galvanized sheet (SECC), hot dip galvanized sheet (SGCC), stainless steel: such as SUS301 and SUS304, copper and copper alloys, aluminum and aluminum alloys: such as 6061, 6063 aluminum alloys, and other materials: including tinplate (SPTE).
We can also source many custom materials on request. Contact Violet@fuleimetal.com to discuss the options.

We provide the following processing services:
1. **Drawing design**.
2. **Laser cutting**, processing accuracy can reach ±0.1mm.
3. **Bending**.
4. **Forming**: Other forming processes besides bending, such as using molds on ordinary punching machines or other equipment to deform the workpiece, including stretching, rib pressing, convex bulge, etc.
5. **Welding forming: Commonly used welding methods include argon arc welding, butt welding, carbon dioxide welding, etc. The welding gap is generally 0.5-0.8mm, and the weld is uniform and smooth.
6. **Surface treatment**: electrostatic powder spraying, liquid paint, electroplating, surface oxidation, surface brushing
7. **Assembly**: Screws, rivets and other connection methods may be used.
8. **Packaging and shipment**.

To ensure the quality of sheet metal parts, we strictly implement the process flow, establish a quality management system, and strengthen quality inspection: full inspection of the first piece, including inspection of the size, expansion, etc., sampling inspection of finished products, and comprehensive inspection of the appearance. If unqualified, timely adjustment and re-inspection.

The lead time for sheet metal fabrication projects varies based on multiple factors, such as project complexity, material availability, production capacity, and manufacturing processes.
In general, simple sheet metal fabrication projects may have a lead time of a few days to a week or so. Complex projects or those with special requirements can take two to four weeks or even longer. Prototype projects usually take 2-5 days if in-stock materials are used.
