Ohio Laser LLC has opened a new dedicated laser tube cutting and laser pipe cutting facility on its ISO-9001:2008 manufacturing campus.
The standalone building features a new 3600-Watt Trumpf TruLaser 7000 laser tube cutting system, a 3000-Watt Trumpf Tubematic 5000 system, raw material storage, and a 10-ton overhead crane. Custom tube fabricating services at Ohio Laser include CNC tube bending, robotic tube welding, machining, and manual welding to process all types of tubes, pipes and other metal components.
The facility offers manufacturers tube cutting of outside dimensions between 0.6 to 8-inch square tubes and 10-inch round tubes. Ohio Laser offers laser tube cutting of tubes up to 30 feet long, weighing a maximum of 500 lb and up to 0.5-inch wall thickness.
Ohio Laser's tube processing center is suitable for producing racks, frames, trusses, supports, manifolds, or any other item made from cut tubes and other metal fabrications.
Laser tube cutting is said by the company to lower production costs by reducing multiple operations with conventional tube fabrication—including sawing, drilling, and milling operations—into one automated process. Laser tube cutting and pipe cutting also include the removal of stack up tolerances associated with multiple operations, zero tooling charges, and the ability to make smaller production (high) quality runs, according to Ohio Laser.
