Having already told you a great deal about the various stainless steel alloys and the various options for working stainless steel, today we want to look at the different sheet formats - and small-format sheet in particular.
You will learn how we professionally cut small-format sheet 3 mm and other formats, which types of sheet we offer, and that we can also supply V2A sheet in small format. This should help you decide on the right sheet to put your plans into action. We are happy to be the partner at your side.
Which sheet formats are there?
In practice, four different sheet formats have become established. It is important to know that material thickness plays no role in determining the format - only the dimensions decide which category the sheet you need belongs to. We offer the following sheet formats:
| Format | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| --- | --- |
| Small format | max. 1,000 mm x 2,000 mm |
| Medium format | max. 1,250 mm x 2,500 mm |
| Large format | max. 1,500 mm x 3,000 mm |
| Maxi format | max. 2,000 mm x 4,000 mm |
In addition, there are also oversizes, which go up to a width of 3,000 mm and a length of 6,000 mm.
Cut sheet yourself or order made to measure?
An important question to ask yourself at the start of your project is whether you want to cut the sheet yourself or leave this important task to a professional. We can understand the pride of having done everything yourself, from the first pencil stroke on the drawing to the last brushstroke. But you should bear the following in mind:
- When cutting small-format sheet, a millimetre-precise cut is essential.
- An uneven cutting edge or a small miscut can render a sheet unusable.
- The risk of injury when cutting sheet metal is also very high. It is a sharp-edged material that can additionally become very hot with some cutting methods.
If you want to be on the safe side, turn to a professional who has not only the right tools but also the experience and know-how to produce small-format sheet for you in various dimensions.
How does ESC Burg cut sheet formats?
We use various methods to cut V2A sheet in small format. We invest constantly in our machine park and take care to use efficient machines - which of course also helps us offer an attractive small-format price. We use, among others, the following machines:
Laser line
For sheets with material thicknesses from 0.5 mm up to 30 mm, we use a Bystronic Fiber Laser XXL. It can cut sheets up to 2,500 mm wide and 6,200 mm long - so it is also suitable for small-format sheet in various dimensions.
Plasma line
Our plasma line is used, for example, for small-format sheet 3 mm. In principle, we can use it to cut sheets up to 3,000 mm wide and 12,500 mm long to customer specification.
Precision guillotine shear
It can cut sheets with the following dimensions: width up to 2,000 mm and length up to 6,000 mm.
Depending on the sheet type, a cut-to-length line is also used.
Order made-to-measure small-format sheets at ESC Burg
If you need small-format sheet for your project, you can order it from us. With our professional machines, we can assure you of exact execution to your specifications and a transparent price for small-format sheet. We do not work with flat rates but calculate every order individually and only charge the costs actually incurred - and that of course also applies to shipping costs.
In addition to cutting, we also offer further services around stainless steel: you can also commission forming and surface treatment from us. For these work steps too, we have both high-quality machines and experienced employees who take care of your order.
Which sheet types do we offer?
We stock various sheet types and align our range with our customers' needs. Although we have more than 2,000 tonnes of sheet in stock, we cannot serve every customer request from it. In any case, however, we can assure you that we can supply V2A sheet in small format and small-format sheet 3 mm at short notice.
All dimensions grouped under small-format sheet can be cut exactly with our various machines.
How does the ordering process work?
If you are interested in our products, please give us a call. We attach great importance to advice and personal contact with our customers. Although we offer our services online, we do not want to be an anonymous online shop - primarily because we sell complex, individual products such as small-format sheet in various alloys.
Through our advice, we can firstly ensure that you are guaranteed to select the right sheet type. If you have read some of our articles on the various stainless steel alloys, you know that there are considerable differences. We will ask you a few questions - for example, whether the sheet will be exposed to great heat or acidic substances.
The price will depend on the dimensions of your small-format sheet. Our experienced sales staff can quote it to you immediately on the phone. Should you then decide to place an order with us, we put it into production straight away.
Small-format sheet for private customers and companies
Thanks to our lean, efficient production processes, we can generally hand orders over for dispatch within 48 hours. That is why we can accept large orders as well as smaller orders from private individuals. The latter was particularly important to us, because we want to be a service provider for everyone.
If you would like to find out about prices for small-format sheet, simply give us a call without obligation. We look forward to helping you with your project and can guarantee fast, professional processing. You can concentrate on the next steps and already think about how you will install our sheet - without having to worry about where to buy sheets or which tools to use.
