How can laser tube cutting help reduce manufacturing costs?

A:

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.

Q:

Does the tube cutting process require tooling?

A:

No. While conventional tube fabrication techniques can require expensive tooling and several operations for multiple-feature parts, Fraser Steel’s laser tube cutting process can consolidate multiple features into one continuous process. This eliminates the need for tooling.

Q:

How does laser tube cutting process improve labor productivity?

A:

Fraser Steel’s BLM Adige laser tube cutting machine consolidates up to six different fabrication steps into one continuous process. In most applications, this removes 60-80% of the labor required by conventional methods.

Q:

A:

Parts produced on Fraser Steel's 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 manufactures around the country.

Q:

What size tubing can Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting machines process?

A:

Fraser Steel's laser tube cutting machines can process tube from 1/2 to 6 inch in diameter and up to .250 in wall thickness.
