Big upgrade in the Woodstock shop! We now have a new laser tube cutting machine, and it is already making a huge difference in how product flows into and through our shop.

This new machine lets us cut metal tubing with a level of precision and flexibility that is hard to beat and adds additional capabilities that further enable downstream operational efficiency.  The tube laser handles all of the materials we used to process before but it is completely automated in its operation, using solid model files of finished tubes and beams to program its operation.  It is fast and accurate, and enhances our ability to support the needs of our customers as projects grow in scale and complexity.

 This addition strengthens several key parts of our process:

  • Cleaner, more accurate cuts that reduce the need for extra finishing work
  • The ability to handle long tube sections and heavy materials without fighting stability issues
  • Complex bevel and angle cutting for better fit up and easier welding
  • Improved material use, which can help reduce waste and cost

 

When jobs involve long or heavy tube sections or complex geometry, this capability brings precision and consistency that help everything fit together the way it should the first time.
