FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How to use these application guides and get the right equipment.
Which machines are used in sheet metal manufacturing?
Most sheet metal parts are cut (fiber laser, shear or punching machine), formed (press brake, panel bender, rolling machine or hydraulic press) and joined and finished (laser welding, deburring). Each industry page above shows which of these matter most for its parts.
How do I find the right machines for my industry?
Search or pick your industry above. Each page explains how the typical parts are made, lists the recommended HARSLE machines live from our product range and shows recent shipments to similar customers.
Can HARSLE supply a complete production line?
Yes. HARSLE designs turnkey lines — for example for electrical enclosures, server racks, data center cabinets, liquid cooling and battery energy storage cabinets — combining cutting, bending, welding and automation.
My industry is not listed. Can HARSLE still help?
Yes. HARSLE machines are used across almost every metalworking sector. Send us your part drawings and volumes and our engineers will recommend the equipment.
