Ohio Laser LLC recently added additional advanced laser tube cutting technologies. Even though laser tube cutting is a sophisticated process, cutting tubes with lasers greatly lowers production costs for a wide variety of products.

The new laser tube cutting system boasts 3000 Watts of power for tube cutting and cuts thicknesses of aluminum tubes to .125 inch, stainless steel tubes to .25 inch, and carbon steel tubes to .625 inch.

The CAD driven tube cutter processes square tubes, oval tubes, rectangular tubes and round tubes with outside dimensions ranging from .75 to 6 inches depending upon the shape.

Lower weld fixture investments and heightened productivity are realized by utilizing the plug in connections and kinking capabilities of this laser tube cutting system.

The leading edge industrial tube cutting system has totally programmable focusing, tube cutting speeds as fast as 2362 inches per minute, and an automated pallet changing function.

The auto feeder can manage 21 foot long aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel tubes that are up to .25 inches in wall thickness. Tubes up to 24 feet long can be accommodated using the manual loading feature.

The numerous advantages of laser tube cutting include complete removal of stack up tolerances associated with multiple operations, nearly unrestricted cutting pattern types and designs, zero tooling charges, the ability to make smaller production quantity runs, and the engineering of many different types of metal.

Using its unique industrial tube cutting capabilities, Ohio Laser can more efficiently manufacture manifolds, supports, frames, trusses, racks, or any other product built from tubular materials.

Various manufactured components produced using laser tube cutting include all terrain vehicles (ATVs) like go karts and four wheelers, ornamental railing, medical beds, adjustable basketball systems, shelving, warehouse racking systems, wheel chairs, store fixtures, food guards, point of purchase display systems, outdoor signage and bed frames.

Ohio Laser recently expanded its advanced plate cutting capabilities for flat steel and other metals.

Plain-City, Ohio based Ohio Laser purchased a 6000 Watt Trumpf TruLaser 5040 system that now handles, stainless steel as thick as 1 inch, aluminum as thick 5/8 inches, and remarkably, carbon steel as thick as 1 inch. This ultra modern plate cutting technology processes at simultaneous speeds of up to 11811 inches each minute and can run at super fast axially parallel speeds of up to 7874 inches per minute.

Industrial users can now look forward to plate cutting metal sheets up to 80 x 160 inches wide as heavy as 3968 pounds, permitting long production runs where consistent quality is paramount.

A further advantage of Ohio Laser’s TruLaser 5040 plate cutting machine is the fact that it permits automated self-loading and unloading, which reduces production times and costs, and greatly improves productivity. Multinational manufacturers trust Ohio Laser LLC because of their expertise processing flat plate cut parts that consistently achieve high quality control standards in repetitive processing environments.

Another major advantage that Ohio Laser offers is its high inventory levels of metal stock and large array of metal thicknesses. The company averages over 1,000,000 pounds of assorted materials on hand on any given day. Key vendor relationships allow Ohio Laser to continually remain in stock with commonly used alloys including:

Low Alloy High Strength, Low carbon, and A36

304, 304L, 316 and additional stainless steels

5052, 6061 and other aluminum

Thicknesses: .002 through 1 inches

Square, rectangular and round tubular products through 4 inches in diameter up to inch wall thickness in stainless and carbon steel

Ohio Laser LLC also offers fabricating and machining services including GMAW welding, FCAW welding and GTAW welding, bending, heat treating and finishing, water jet cutting services, and sanding and grinding. Ohio Laser has decades experience engineering 2D, 3D CAD/CAM drawings and is accustom to PPAP Level I to Level IV.

MIG is an abbreviation for the term “metal inert gas.” First developed during the Second World War, MIG welding gave manufacturers a much more efficient way to weld huge numbers of aluminum parts for weapons and equipment. The introduction of MIG welding technology early in the war had an immediate and important impact on the war effort for the United States and the Allies.

The System10 MIG Welding unit uses a robotic welding arm that moves and precision places a MIG welding “gun” mounted on a contact tip. At the end of this gun a liner feeds a solid-steel wire in to place for welding.

When activated, the contact tip on the gun is electrically charged, melts the wire and forms a weld puddle. At the same time, inert gas flows out of the gun and keeps the weld puddle shielded from the atmosphere, allowing a weld to join two metal surfaces.

Companies are using advanced welding cells designed for high speed, long production runs of high quality welded parts. This modern mig welding technology offers numerous advantages to companies in need of affordable precision welding.

Some advantages of the Lincoln Electric System10 at Ohio Laser include:

Fanuc ARC Mate 100 iB/6s robot with a 37″ reach for precision welding in smaller spaces

Dual fixed welding work station with automatic interlocked access doors permit you to simultaneously load and unload parts while welding

A metal surround flash barrier and bi-fold doors with interlocks

450 amp, 100% duty cycle STT welding technology power supply

Lower splatter, distortion, and smoke compared to other systems

Specialized tooling, engineering and programming capabilities are available to enable cost effective welding

Robotic arc welding is the latest value added fabrication service offered by Ohio Laser. Already a full service industrial fabricator, Ohio Laser is competent with PPAP Level I to Level IV, laser cuts flat sheets, tubes and pipes, engineers parts using 2D, 3D CAD/CAM software, provides high accuracy bending, and offers welding processes GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW.

Ohio Laser also provides machining services, heat treating and finishing, assembly and packaging, water jet cutting, sanding and grinding services.

Ohio Laser serves clients both large and small in virtually all major manufacturing industries in North America including automotive, furniture, point of display, food equipment, and heavy industrial equipment producers.

The System10 MIG Welding unit uses a robotic welding arm that moves and precision places a MIG welding “gun” mounted on a contact tip. At the end of this gun a liner feeds a solid-steel wire in to place for welding.

When the MIG welding cell is turned on, electricity charges the contact tip on the gun, melts the wire, producing a weld puddle. Inert gas simultaneously pours out of the tip of the gun, shielding the weld puddle from air in the atmosphere, permitting the weld to fix two metal pieces together.

While MIG welding has been around for years, companies today still use the most advanced MIG welding technologies to manufacture production runs of high-quality welded industrial parts. The latest robotic MIG welding technology on the market has many advantages for companies in search of low cost, precision welding.
