Aluminium Cutting and Fabrication from Capral Aluminium

Cutting

The ideal cutting lines for both the 200 & 400 Series Grating are shown in the picture above.

When both ends of panels can be cut as shown, end bars are not essential, but may be required for multiple panel stability or attachment purposes.

When length limitations preclude cutting through webs as shown, end bars are essential to restrain ends of load bars and chords.

Pattern Matching

Pattern matching is essential when using 200 Series Grating in a multiple panel situation, i.e. where panels are welded together side by side.

Pattern matching is not essential when using 400 Series Grating in a multiple panel situation unless the visual aspect is a design criterion.
