Metal Cutting Length When The Size Problem

Flatness and parallelism and other criteria

For cutting metal to a certain length, which is a key activity in our business, size issues are key. Part of the process is making sure that we understand the customer's needs in advance and that we speak in terms consistent with what the customer is saying.

Flatness vs. parallelism: What's the difference?

When we talk about flatness and parallelism and other terms, we mean very specific things, because they relate to the length of the metal cut. Flatness is a measure of one side of oneself - to see how flat one side of an object is and whether the object is a machined object or something that has been cut. Parallelism refers to how an object measures its other side, whether we're talking about a flat piece of metal, parallel to both sides, or more commonly -- in our metal parts world, cut length -- comparing one end of the cut to the other end of the cut.

Another commonly used term is verticality (also called a square), which looks at how a part measures the cut end of a tube along the plane of its length, such as a tube. Perfect verticality, a perfect 90° Angle cut, is our constant goal, but it's a challenge when measuring in minutes and seconds. This may be because the material itself is not completely straight and is slightly tilted when held, so that when the end is cut it is straight but not exactly vertical; Or compare one end to the other, which may be parallel, but not exactly 90°.
