A 33-Piece Bracket Batch, Cut, Formed, and Shipped

A small production batch of 10-gauge hot-rolled steel brackets moved through laser cutting and press-brake forming. Production and shipping records confirm all 33 pieces were completed and shipped.

The Documented Scope

Material: 10-gauge hot-rolled steel

Processes: Laser cutting, Press-brake forming

33 pieces completed and shipped

The completed quantity and shipment record both account for the full 33-piece bracket batch.

The manufacturing need

The customer needed a small batch of steel brackets that combined a cut profile with formed geometry. The job specified 10-gauge hot-rolled steel and a quantity of 33 pieces.

Two processes in one shop route

The documented route included laser cutting followed by press-brake forming. Keeping those operations connected lets the fabrication review consider the cut features and bends together, including the dimensions that matter after forming.

The documented result

The production record shows all 33 pieces complete, and the job's shipping record shows 33 shipped. This is a concrete example of Ahner handling a cut-and-formed production batch through shipment.

Planning a Similar Project

For cut-and-formed parts, share the finished dimensions and bend requirements together with the flat profile. That gives the shop the information needed to review material, tooling, and the manufacturing route as one part.

What to Send

Send CAD or drawings, material and thickness, finished dimensions, bend directions, quantity, critical tolerances, finish, and your target timing. A photo or sketch can start a review when the design is still being defined.
