KMT launches high speed laser cutting service
Sourcing complex fabrications on short lead times is always challenging , but KMT is offering a solution with its new laser cutting service for ferrous and non-ferrous metals . Customers can now skip lengthy fabricator wait times , accessing high quality metal work faster than ever before .
“ As a leading manufacturer of bespoke machinery for OEMs , we are always looking to improve our fabrications service . A recent machine investment means we now provide dedicated , high speed laser cutting for our customers . With our facilities and capabilities , we offer much shorter lead times than traditional fabricators . Introducing this new equipment has also dramatically increased our operating capacity , meaning we can sub-contract work on the behalf of our customers ,” says Ian Matthews , General Manager at KMT .
The LVD type Phoenix FL-3015 6 kW fibre laser cutting machine operated by KMT supports both ferrous and non-ferrous metals , including copper and brass . It is paired with a LVD Compact-Tower 3015 material storage and retrieval tower with six shelves , each with a capacity of 3000 kg . Sheets of up to 3000mm x 1500mm can be accommodated , with an advanced cutting head handling up to 30mm thick aluminium as well as 25mm thick stainless and mild steel . Sheets of different thicknesses can be processed without manual intervention , further expediting lead times . For lighter gauge materials , cutting can be conducted “ on the fly ”.
