Laser Tube Cutting
Fraser Steel Rules in Laser Tube Cutting
Fraser Steel is a pioneer in precision laser tube cutting. It was the first contract manufacturer in the nation to invest in a laser tube cutting machine. That was in 2001. Over the next six years, it acquired three more tube lasers, giving it unmatched capabilities and capacity. That combination makes Fraser the preferred choice for high-precision laser cutting jobs.
Add Value Without Adding Cost
Fraser Steel’s laser tube cutting technology trims manufacturing costs by reducing or optimizing the tube fabrication process. Parts that require several features such as slots, holes, miters, copes, or profiles can be produced faster and at a lower cost than traditional tube fabrication processes.
BLM Adige Laser Tube Cutters
Fraser Steel’s BLM Adige laser tube cutting machines consolidate up to six different fabrication steps into one continuous process. In most applications, this removes 60-80% of the labor required by conventional methods. These fully automated machines feature multi-axis laser systems that add real value to tubular assemblies and parts without adding tooling costs. They can produce:
- Multiple part features without multiple processes
- Enhanced accuracy and repeatability
- Closer tolerances
- Precise profiles, copes, mitres and edges
- Odd and complex end shapes
- Accurate slots and holes
Parts produced on the BLM Adige laser tube cutting machines typically hold a tolerance of +/- .005 of an inch. In practice, Fraser-produced parts are much more accurate and consistent than parts produced by contract manufacturers.
Explore a Range of Applications
Fraser’s laser tube cutters handle a wide range of materials, from mild and stainless steel to aluminum. They accommodate an equally broad range of shapes, from round to rectangle to oval. They even process a variety of diameters, from 1/2 inch to 6 inch diameter and up to .250 in thickness. For more details on Fraser Steel’s capabilities, view the Laser Lube Cutting FAQs.
Collaboration Yields Innovative End Products
Fraser engineers work closely with customers to design parts that work better and are more economical. This collaborative approach leads to true innovation and meaningful cost savings.
