Tube Cutting Technology Impressive at Ohio Laser LLC
Monday, December 14th, 2009Ohio 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.
