Fiber Laser Cutting
Flat-sheet and plate cutting — and the odd geometry nobody else will quote.
[ Overview ]
Fiber laser cutting is where most flat parts begin on our floor. Rather than a single machine, we run two purpose-paired Mazak fiber lasers so we can match the job to the right power, bed, and automation level — a high-power 8kW Optiplex for thick plate and fast production, and a 7kW Nexus for the mid-thickness work that fills the shop. Both are fed by automated material load/unload towers, which means a drawing loaded at end-of-shift keeps cutting through the night. Every job is nested offline from your DXF: common-line cuts drop scrap, lead-in placement is optimized, and etch/mark layers are separated from cut layers so part marking is clean and free. The result is a part with a clean dross-free edge, a tight tolerance, and a nest that used as much of your sheet as physics allows.

Equipment, in detail.
Every machine below is on our floor and ready to run — not a representative list, not a ceiling. This is what's cutting, welding, machining, and bending your parts.

[ How It Runs ]
The process, step by step.
- 01Drawing received as DXF / DWG — layers parsed for cut vs. etch/mark
- 02Offline nesting for maximum sheet yield; common-line cuts to drop scrap
- 03Material loaded via automated tower — lights-out runs overnight
- 04Cut with assist gas matched to material (N₂ / O₂ / air)
- 05Parts offloaded, deburred, and inspected before finishing
[ Materials Handled ]
- Mild / carbon steel (to 1 in)
