For fabricators, adding tube laser processing capabilities represents an opportunity to create separation from your competition and expand into industries you may not have had access to before.

At the center of this process chain is the capacity of the laser cutting machine to process orders and its effect on both upstream and downstream processes.

If you are a sheet metal fabricator currently using high-power fiber lasers in your fabrication process, then you already realize the capacity demands that are being imposed on your process chain.

Machine life cycle triggers encompass pivotal events or conditions that influence a machine’s operational efficiency and longevity.

Improving your metal fabricating value chain requires continuous attention. Not just to tweak current processes, but also to keep an open mind toward improving with the latest available innovations.

Innovations in software technologies have been the real driving force behind manufacturers realizing the full potential of new hardware innovations in the metal fabricating industry.

As a job shop, you never want to turn down work if you can help it. You never know when a job for a new customer could lead to other opportunities in the future.

How efficient is your material flow to the laser cutting system and how efficient is the unloading, sorting, and stacking of the finished cut parts?

Gaining the edge in today’s competitive market requires intelligence derived from data and the ability to act upon information to improve processes and machine performance. If two companies have the same equipment, what then becomes their competitive differentiation?

Flexibility in metal fabrication begins with having the right tools and the ability to create competitive differentiation.
