Die Cutting 4

[borsodas]

does anyone know a good manufacturer/company that can do large scale steel rule die cutting?

 

[unclesyd]

Can you be a little more specific as to your requirements?

Are you after rule blanks or other rectangulr die cut parts?

 

[vpl]

Does the location of the manufacturer make a difference?

Large, as in - how large? What material and what thickness and how many parts per hour, month, year, whatever?

 

[borsodas]

large as in around 1 inch, 5'x5' pieces of steel. not sure how many per month yet, over 5,000. location does not make a difference, would like it to be steel rule.

With respect, why do you expect others to do your web searching? Especially if its so easy, you should post here AFTER you've done the obvious and got no results!

I have to echo the post by SincoTC especially on the easy ones, as per your post, since with your given information in the OP wouldn't have even warranted a search on Yahoo. I don't know how you would have survived without the Internet or access to the online Thomas Net instead of the 12 or so hard cover volumes of The Thomas Register.

By the way a 5'x5'x1"steel plate is a little too large and too heavy for most ruling machines.

I am here to tell you in no uncertain terms that 1 inch thick steel plate cannot be steel rule die cut. No way-no how. Laser might be your answer unless you have access to a very large, very heavy tonnage power press and want to spend the money on hard tooling.

I am familiar with one in the CT-MA area; if interested I can contact one of my former ACAD student for more info.
