Supplying Excellence: Parts of Kits for Modular Building Frames
Kloeckner’s Ability to Offer Parts of Kits for Modular Building Frames
Being part of the?official supply chain?for the Seismic I and Seismic II models, Kloeckner is able to supply parts of kits for modular building frames. We can offer clients use of our extensive laser-cutting facilities – both tube and flatbed laser – allowing tight tolerances to be met. We have also invested into two Ficep?CNC-cutting machines:?Endeavour - a section processing machine and Gemini - a plate processing machine.?These enable us to cut beams and columns and produce plate fittings to provide kits of parts. Furthermore, we can offer our clients additional cutting and drilling services on cambered asymmetric beams supported by thermally cut fittings with tight tolerances.
To serve the modular industry better, we have also established a modular processing cell in Dudley in the Midlands. At this facility we are able to offer extensive tube laser processing capabilities, an automated inspection line and bespoke kitting. It has been specifically designed to process high-volume production of products with close tolerances and complex geometries.?

Kloeckner’s Expertise in Tube Laser Cutting
Kloeckner Metals UK is equipped to support businesses with varying modular build requirements thanks to the scope and scale of our tube laser technology. This, coupled with our?dedicated modular processing cell, brings together our knowledge and expertise and allows us to offer the sector unrivalled support.
Kloeckner has invested in two LT14 tube lasers and seven smaller tube lasers to serve the industry better. The LT14 Jumbo lasers are capable of processing parts up to 355?mm in diameter and weight up to 100?kg/m. They can also process hollow section tubes, beams, columns, split tees, angles and channels. Each laser has a 4.5?KW?Rofin?CO2?laser source with the ability to laser cut 20?mm-thick mild steel and weld prep 16?mm-thick mild steel material up to 45?degrees. These capabilities make the LT14 lasers suitable for processing the requirements of the modular industry.
Our CAD team utilise the latest versions of Solidworks and Artube?3?CAD software, which is capable of importing full 3D models/assemblies including IFC files (Tekla), STEP, IGES and X_T. Our team of in-house experts have a combined total of 30 years’ experience in tube laser cutting and will be happy to liaise with customers if parts cannot be produced in order to find a solution to fit the customer’s requirements.
