5 Benefits of Fiber Laser Technology at Tampa Sheet Metal

Tampa Sheet Metal prides itself on having cutting-edge equipment like a fiber laser for each and every job.

The FOL AJ from Amada Machines is engineered to produce the highest quality parts at unmatched speed while reducing operating costs and environmental waste.

The benefits of fiber laser technology are:

  1. Faster cutting of thin material (2 to 4 times that of a comparable 4000 W CO2 laser)
  2. Superior speed and edge quality in material thicknesses up to 7/8″ compared to other solid-state systems
  3. Process Range Expansion by providing the ability to laser cut copper, brass, titanium and other materials that were previously difficult to process
  4. No optics or space inside the cavity of the laser source – eliminating costs associated with mirrors and downtime for alignment of optics
  5. The reduction of environmentally harmful emissions due to it’s solid-state technology—which does not require laser gas to generate the laser beam

 

Tampa Sheet Metal is able to offer a variety of fabrication within one roof thanks to our staff and numerous machines to finish each project with efficiency and on time delivery. Contact our owners today by email or phone.

FOL 3015 AJ Standard Features

The FOL AJ is engineered to produce the highest quality parts at unmatched speed while reducing operating costs and environmental waste. The benefits of fiber laser technology are:

  • Faster cutting of thin material (2 to 4 times that of a comparable 4000 W CO2 laser)
  • Superior speed and edge quality in material thicknesses up to 7/8″ compared to other solid-state systems
  • P.R.E. (Process Range Expansion) by providing the ability to laser cut copper, brass, titanium and other materials that were previously difficult to process
  • No optics or space inside the cavity of the laser source – eliminating costs associated with mirrors and downtime for alignment of optics
  • The reduction of environmentally harmful emissions due to it’s solid-state technology—which does not require laser gas to generate the laser beam
  • Less power is consumed than its CO2 counterpart. Since there are no optics to keep cool, a smaller, more efficient chiller further enhances cost savings
  • With all three axes driven by linear drives, it boasts rapid traverse speeds of 13,380″/min. and a 5G acceleration speed for the entire work envelope — making it the fastest 5´ x 10´ laser system available
  • The wear of components typically associated with ball-screw or rack and pinion systems has been eliminated
  • An auto-nozzle changer automatically changes nozzles based on material cut conditions ensuring that the laser does not sit idle while waiting for an operator to setup for the next job
  • The shuttle tables externalize the material setup, eliminating interference with the cutting process
  • AMADA’s AJ2000 and AJ4000 oscillators (fiber engines) drastically reduce electrical consumption (1/ 3 the amount of energy consumed by the typical CO2 oscillators)

4 Questions to Ask Your Vendor Before Committing

Traffic

A few questions to ask your vendor before making a commitment for your production runs:

-Does a high-quality machine producer with a solid history of reliability build the equipment installed at the vendor?

-Does the manufacturer provide local support to your vendor in case equipment needs repair during production of your parts?

-Is the laser equipment capable of handling the parts you need i.e. — a decent wattage and size? For example, prior to the invention of the fiber laser, the lower the wattage the lower the cost to operate the laser. That has changed drastically; fiber optics is three times faster than a conventional laser.

-Does the company have a long history of producing high quality parts?

If you responded with a “yes” to all the questions, then it is time to take the next step—give them a call to discuss your project. Not sure who to contact? Consider Tampa Sheet Metal in Tampa, Florida.

Tampa Sheet Metal, in business since 1920, has progressed from the early days of using hand tools into a modern facility of custom sheet metal manufacturing equipment including a laser running at the speed of light, robotic arc welding, and a fully integrated computer system running on Windows.
