Tube cutting laser investment
TruLaser Tube 7000 nearly doubles capacity at The Laser Cutting Company
The Laser Cutting Company has nearly doubled its tube-cutting capacity with the delivery of its fourth tube-cutting laser – the first Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 in the UK.
The business model at the Sheffield-based company centres on a 24-hour operation to maximize output from very productive machines. The formula has been successful for a wide range of customers across sectors from the energy and offshore sectors through to medical and architectural applications.
The new laser will offer plenty of benefits to this rapidly growing, £3 million turnover business. For example, the machine cuts tubes and profiles with large diameters and wall thicknesses without sacrificing productivity. It can process tubes and profiles up to a diameter of 200mm, while wall thickness of up to 8mm in mild steel can also be accommodated.
“It’s a hugely flexible machine that continues to move us towards our goal of being the fastest, most reliable and best-priced supplier in our field of expertise,” says Mr Day. “While flat bed laser cutting is more established, we believe many potential customers are missing the productivity gains that can be offered using the latest high specification tube laser machinery,” says the company’s chairman, Jon Day.
He adds: The arrival of the TruLaser Tube 7000 not only brings us bang up to date, it nearly doubles capacity and fortifies our strategy of acquiring the most efficient machinery available.”
