Evenwood invests again in laser cutting
03 Jan 2008
Evenwood Industries Ltd has continued its recent investment programme with the purchase of another Trumpf TruLaser 3530 2D laser cutting system. The investment was made in response to growing demand from its customer base and will allow the company to meet future demand and provide capacity to take advantage of new business opportunities.
“We have four lasers currently, and this new machine mirrors one we bought last year,” says Stewart Maudsley, Joint Managing Director. “We now have two identical machines sitting side-by-side. The two machines together can perform lights-out operations and this means we can eliminate our requirement for a nightshift, with obvious benefits. De-nesting is done off-line the following morning and the parts can then flow efficiently through the plant during the day.
“Regular investment is critical to a company such as Evenwood Industries. The new TruLaser 3530 will become an essential part of our manufacturing process, significantly improving our reliability, quality and efficiency.”
The company has a long association with Trumpf, extending back to the early 1980s when Evenwood acquired its first CNC punch press. Installation was completed at the end of November 2007 and the machine has been set to work producing mostly mild steel flat components ranging from 2-15mm thick.
