We can process materials faster and minimize scratches during processing.
8000W Fiber Laser
Fiber lasers cutting up to 10x faster than CO2.
- 16GA Stainless at 2000"/min!
- 8000W cuts 1" thick stainless, carbon, and aluminum.
- Automatic, scratch free loading and unloading.
Eliminate Welding & Heat Input
By Engineering products to eliminate welds, we reduce labor and improve part quaity.
- Cut and parts up to 20' long on large laser bed.
- Bend parts up to 20' long on 20' press brake.
- Creative bending and forming to reduce number of parts.
Diverse Stainless Alloys Experience
While 304 and 316 are our bread and butter, we are experts with many exotic alloys:
- Duplex Stainless Steels: 2101 LDX, 2205, 2507
- High Nickle Aloys: Al6XN, C22, C276, etc.
- High Heat Alloys: 309, 321, 347
