We have expert engineers, complete production equipment and first-class manufacturing technology. We are equipped with the most advanced computer numerical control punching/perforating machines and photo-etching machine to produce perforated net screens in good quality at favorable price. The punching machines can be light, medium-sized, heavy-duty. We supply one-stop perforation services: Laser Cutting, Punching, Shearing, Leveling, Bending, Welding, Surface treatment, Assembly and various fabrications of metal materials.
For more information, please visit our website.
The metallic materials we work with: iron plate, stainless steel plate, copper plate, aluminum plate, galvanized plate, brass, bronze, nickel silver, composites.
Nonmetallic material: Fibre plate, plastic plate, rubber sheet, film etc.
The pattern we can serve: round hole, long round hole, square hole, triangle hole, diamond hole, hexagonal hole, crossed hole, slot, chequer, dimple, embossing, etc.
Processing involved for making of perforated metal products is listed as follows. Our quality control system takes every step in consideration to guarantee the product quality in every step and through the whole process for our customers.
Die: The perforating process starts by designing the precision die. We believe that the quality of the die is critical for the quality of the products. We have therefore invested heavily in the area in recent years and developed our die making techniques.
Perforating: We use the CNC machine to produce state-to-art product. The daily output is over m2, we can perforate the material thickness from 0.1mm to 25mm.
Slitting: Slitting to finished width is done in-line from a coil.
Shearing: Our worker can shear the margins when the tolerance is grater than our in-line process.
Roller Leaving: We can bring the perforated material thickness arranging from 0.8mm to 12mm back to the original flatness with the roller press.
Cleanliness: The perforating process requires the use of lubricants ,and a degreasing step can be applied to cleaning oil free from the material surfaces.
Packaging: The perforated metal usually adopts the form in bulk. We can adopt the packaging, such as cloth, wooden case, and cartons, etc, according to you request. A fairly large number of products can adopt the wooden pallet or steel pallet packaging.

Perforated sheet metal is an extremely versatile material with a wide variety of uses for builders and fabricators. It can be made from aluminum, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, brass, and copper. The manufacturing process for perforated sheet metal usually involves passing a sheet or plate of metal through a punching press or a die cutting machine. Arizona Iron Supply of Phoenix is your local expert in all types of sheet metal&#;we can detail the manufacturing process and help you choose the right type of perforated sheet for your project.

Methods for Manufacturing Perforated Sheet Metal
Rotary Pin Perforation
This process uses a large, needle-studded cylinder to puncture sheet metal. The cylinder rotates like a spiny music box while sheet metal is passed underneath it for the needles to penetrate. Heating the needles provides extra reinforcement around the edge of the holes and increases the strength of the perforated sheet.
Wide Punch Press
This technique uses punching rams to strike plates or coils of sheet metal and make entire rows of perforations in one swift motion. This method works best for producing symmetrical, repetitive patterns at rapid speeds.
Sectional XY Axis Punch Press
This method is similar to a wide punch press. Rather than rows, an XY axis press uses a single die, or a single cluster of punching rams, that are passed across a stationary sheet section by section. This method is best for producing non-repetitive, decorative, or complex patterns.
Laser Perforation
This is the most expensive method of manufacturing perforated sheet metal, but it is also the most precise. For a custom job requiring accuracy, laser perforation is the optimal option.
Applications for Perforated Sheet Metal
Perforated sheet metal performs a wide variety of functions in the manufacturing, automotive, and food and beverage industries. It is used in refrigeration and food processing, in quarries and at construction sites. There are numerous applications for perforated sheet metal in home improvement and construction as well. Builders use it for cement screens, glass reinforcement, ventilation, and HVAC installations. Filters and screens made from perforated sheet metal can be found everywhere&#;in your car, your computer, and your home&#;s air conditioning system.
In Arizona, perforated sheet metal is frequently used to provide screening for outdoor spaces such as stairways, porches, and patios. It is aesthetically pleasing, weather resistant, and filters noise and harsh sunlight. As an awning, perforated sheet screening provides sun protection and cooling shade to regulate the temperatures in exterior living areas. Perforated sheet metal can also be used for facades on commercial buildings, rooftops, and storage areas to provide privacy, reduce noise pollution, or conceal unattractive exterior features.
