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.

Urban Farming Made Easy with Adaptive Harvest Systems

We are happy to be a part of a growing community on this project with Adaptive Harvest supplying the sheet metal fabrication to the bigger systems “The Urban Farm.”

The Adaptive Harvest System (AHS) was originally intended to be a simple, portable and sustainable tool to aid non-profit organizations and ministries with feeding people in remote rural areas and/or places where food insecurity is an issue. AHS is also perfect for urban farms, home garden enthusiasts and generally anyone who wants to grow fresh produce. The mobile design makes it ideal for local farmers markets.

The AHS is a vertical hydroponics system that uses a patent pending design structure that suspends the unit above the ground. Installation is quick and easy because it only requires two opposing structures like posts, buildings, trees, etc., making it minimally invasive to the landscape. The 14 inch diameter base pot allows for an ample supply of growing area suitable for a wide variety of crops. Designed with flexibility in mind, the system is scalable, modular and can be configured to properly accommodate a variety of situations. In fact, the system can be moved or transported without damaging existing crops. A perfect solution for inclement weather. All the parts are made from recycled plastic that meets certain specifications to ensure consistency during production.

The Urban Farm offers an open scalable solution for individuals who seriously wish to venture into hydroponic farming. The open system has a community nutrient tank and the ability to individually control water flow to each stack. Each stack contains 4 removable base pots. The Urban Farm has a 4 foot x 10 foot aluminum frame that holds 8 stacks. A timer control box schedules timed drip feedings and the system can be designed to drip to catch or recirculate the drip to conserve water. The system is easy to install and requires very little maintenance. The kit does not include: plants, nutrient solution.
