Fast Fabrication Cells to Target Plastics Market
01 May 2005
In 2005 Carlton Laser Services plans to target the market for plastic parts by offering equivalent metal fabrications at a fraction of the cost. The fine limit sheetmetal work and laser cutting specialist is investing £1.2m in automated laser cutting and fabrication cells. The high technology, fast set up machines will include: robotic folding, automatic linishing, and laser/punch combinations.
In 2003 Carlton Laser installed a unique automated cell that linked a punch press and a laser cutter to a single material storage system loaded for lights out running over 48 hours; and was probably the only subcontractor in the UK working in this way.
Turnover grew in 2004 by an exceptional 64% to £4.1m, which funded the company's expansion at the beginning of this year, as well as a £55k upgrade of IT systems and software incorporating 3D modelling.
