High-Volume CNC Laser Cutting

Precision Steel Services Inc., located in Farrell, PA, is a leading provider of high-volume CNC laser cutting services to countless industries in Central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Led by a pair of state-of-the-art Boss FC-6012 Elite Fiber Laser Cutting Machines, Precision Steel Services is poised to accommodate high-volume CNC laser cutting requests for components of varying size and complexity. This article will discuss the modernized equipment used at Precision Steel, examples of common projects, the advantages of laser cutting over alternative methods, and ultimately why manufacturers near Pittsburgh and Youngstown should choose Precision Steel to complete their high-volume CNC laser cutting jobs. 

CNC Fiber Laser Cutting Equipment

Without our concentrated investment in new technologies, we would not be able to accommodate the sheer number of high-volume CNC laser cutting requests we quote every month. This investment not only refers to the purchase of new equipment but also the necessary training and proper maintenance practices necessary to maintain optimal levels of precision, accuracy, and throughput. Recently, we’ve purchased a pair of Boss FC-6012 Elite Fiber Laser Cutting Machines that are ideal for demanding production environments.

With a robust frame, advanced internal components, and increased power capacity of up to 2KW, the Boss CNC Fiber Laser Cutting Machine has further enhanced our capacity and expanded our viability to new markets. These exciting equipment additions are capable of cutting an array of non-metal materials like acrylic and rubber as well as standard metals widely seen in the performance automotive, aerospace, electronic, and construction industries like aluminum, steel, brass, titanium, copper, and more.

Examples of High-Volume CNC Laser Cutting Projects

High-volume CNC laser cutting projects are necessary for a wide variety of industries and specific applications. It can be used to fabricate hundreds to thousands of individual identical units from a single sheet of steel or follow a precision path for a larger component from a more specialty material. Some examples of high-volume industry requests completed by the experts at Precision Steel are listed below:

• Performance Automotive: Our machinists and equipment operators have grown intimately familiar with the precision and throughput required for projects in the performance automotive sector. We’ve completed high-volume CNC laser cutting projects for an array of chassis parts, brake components, engine parts, and countless brackets that deliver reliable performance and long-term durability. 

• Building Construction: Precision Steel has numerous customers in the building construction industry that require immense throughput levels of precision framing components, beams, and brackets. We have the capacity and experience to meet rigid specifications and high-volume projects with tight deadlines.

• Safety Equipment: We work closely with customers in the safety equipment industry with high-volume CNC laser cutting projects for crucial components of safety harnesses and tie-offs. The accurate laser seamlessly follows the complex shapes and angles of these projects with ease and maximizes material usage while minimizing table time.

Advantages of CNC Laser Cutting

The immaculate accuracy, speed, and quality of CNC fiber laser cutting have quickly made this equipment the most demanded and valuable in our facility. With computer-controlled cutting heads, our Boss machines deliver high-quality and repeatable cuts at enhanced speeds that maximize throughput on even tough materials like titanium and steel. The concentrated beam melts or burns away material along the cutting path and leaves behind a precision edge that requires minimal supplemental treatment depending on the end application.

This method also offers unique advantages to customers with high-volume CNC laser cutting requests when compared to alternative methods like plasma cutting and water jet cutting.

• Laser Cutting vs. Plasma Cutting: Fiber laser cutting requires fewer consumables than plasma cutting, reducing the cost for customers, especially on high-volume production runs. Additionally, fiber laser offers enhanced levels of precision and production yields which in turn provides superior quality components at lower prices for customers. 

• Laser Cutting vs. Water Jet Cutting: Although water jet cutting is better suited for thicker materials, laser cutting still offers higher throughput levels and more consistent quality. Laser cutting can cut between 20 and 70 inches per minute, while water jet is significantly slower with a maximum speed of 20 inches per minute. Additionally, laser cutting can adhere to tighter tolerances thanks to the minimal cutting width that is roughly one-third of standard water jet cutting methods.
