Advanced Laser Cutting Services Expanded At Ohio Laser

By Graham McPatrick

Ohio Laser recently expanded its advanced laser cutting capabilities for flat steel and other metals.

The Central Ohio company started operation of a 6000 Watt Trumpf TruLaser 5040 system that processes carbon steel up to 1 inch, stainless steel up to 1 inch, and aluminum up to 5/8 inches. This state of the art laser cutting machine offers extremely fast axially parallel speeds of up to 7874 inches per minute and simultaneous speeds up to 11811 inches every 60 seconds.

The Trumpf TruLaser 5040 system now makes industrial laser cutting of metal possible using sheets up to 80 x 160 inches that weigh as much as 3968 pounds, allowing for the production of longer and wider parts.

A further advantage of Ohio Laser's TruLaser 5040 laser cutting machine is the fact that it permits automated self-loading and unloading, which reduces production times and costs, and greatly improves productivity. Multi-national manufacturers trust Ohio Laser LLC because of their expertise processing flat laser cut parts that consistently achieve high quality control standards in repetitive processing environments.
