This stand-alone building features a brand-new 3600 Watt Trumpf TruLaser 7000 laser tube cutting system, a 3000 watt Trumpf Tubematic 5000 system, raw material storage and a 10 ton overhead crane to make the transfer of materials fast and easy throughout the entire facility. Custom tube fabricating services at Ohio Laser include CNC tube bending, robotic tube welding, machining and manual welding to process all types of tubes, pipes and other metal components.

The facility offers manufacturers tube cutting of outside dimensions between 0.6-inch through 8-inch square tubes and 10-inch round tubes. Ohio Laser offers laser tube cutting of tubes up to 30-feet long, weighing a maximum of 500 pounds and up to 1/2 inch wall thickness. In addition to the high tech capabilities at Ohio Laser, OEM’s and others can count on JIT service and decades of metal fabrication and engineering experience to improve their manufacturing processes with tubes and pipes.

Ohio Laser’s dedicated tube processing center offers manufacturers increased efficiencies in producing racks, frames, trusses, supports, manifolds or any other item made from cut tubes and other metal fabrications. Products that dramatically benefit from laser cut tubing include playground equipment, exercise equipment, point of purchase display racks, sign frames, railing, food equipment, industrial tables, display cases, ATVs, racking systems, etc.

Laser tube cutting is dramatically more advantageous than conventional tube cutting methods. Laser tube cutting lowers production costs by reducing multiple operations with conventional tube fabrication into one automated process. While conventional tube fabrication can include sawing, drilling and milling operations, all of which require setup and lag time – not to mention additional labor and overhead costs – laser tube cutting condenses such operations into a single act.

Also, laser tube cutting and pipe cutting include the removal of stack up tolerances associated with multiple operations, zero tooling charges, and the ability to make smaller production (high) quality runs. Laser tube cutting makes possible the engineering of many types of profiles including holes, cutouts, end copes, bending copes, slots, tabs, and hook designs that considerably reduce (and in some cases a totally eliminate) weld tooling and clamping.

The new laser tube cutting machine can process round, square and rectangle tubes and pipes from .6″ up to 10″ in diameter and up to 1/2 inch wall thicknesses. The German-built machine can handle tubes up to 30 feet long weighing a maximum of 500 pounds. Ohio Laser’s system includes an automated loading system that handles up to 8000 lbs of tubes at a time, allowing it to operate hours at a time without a worker present.

Other automated features include parts programming for quick set up times when changing jobs. The advanced tube cutting technology features self-centering chucking jaws that do not need to be changed, and rollers that guide the tubes through the machine automatically adjust to their diameter. More significantly, the system’s laser focal point automatically adjusts to the material type and thickness of the tubes in the system at any given time. The machine’s software also independently adjusts to the focus parameters, eliminating any set-up time.

Some of the key laser tube cutting and pipe cutting benefits include almost unlimited cutting configurations, elimination of stack up tolerances inherent in multiple operations, no tooling charges, reduced lot sizes and processing of a wide variety of metal alloys. The kink or plug in connections which this tube cutting system can generate also reduce weld fixture costs and increase production output.

Manufacturers in many industries can benefit from this leading-edge industrial tube cutting technology by outsourcing their work to Ohio Laser for faster production of frames, racks, supports, trusses, manifolds or any other item made from cut tubes. A few of the most common products produced using this laser tube cutting technology include: playground equipment, weightlifting wall mounts, outdoor sign frames, garment racks, hand railing, ornamental railing, bar fixtures, store fixtures, point of purchase displays, sign stands, folding tables, medical carts, salad bar sneeze guards, food guards, industrial tables, display cases, roll bar cages, recreational vehicles, all terrain vehicles (ATVs) like go karts and four wheelers, conveyer tubes, medical bed frames, adjustable basketball systems, shelving, racking systems, wheel chair frames, bed frames.

The new tube cutting technology combined with Ohio Laser’s recent ISO 9001:2008 certification neatly complements the company’s current ability to provide laser cutting, tube cutting, pipe cutting and value added fabricating services. This includes engineering with 2D, 3D CAD/CAM drawings, PPAP Level I to Level IV, GMAW welding, FCAW welding and GTAW welding, bending, machining, heat treating and finishing, water jet cutting services, and sanding and grinding.

In tandem with ISO 9001:2008 certification, the 3D laser scanning system at Ohio Laser gives customers peace of mind with a 100% inspection regime throughout the entire forming / assembly process. The laser scanning equipment also improves manufacturing efficiencies by nearly eliminating scrap, re-work and re-scheduling due to parts being out of spec.

ISO 9001:2008 certification by the International Organization for Standardization requires companies to keep detailed records, manage sets of procedures covering key processes in the business, quality-check production output, regularly review individual processes and the quality system for effectiveness, and promote continual improvement. The product development phase in an ISO 9001:2008-certified company must include testing and documentation at each stage. This testing must ensure that products meet regulatory and design requirements and of course, customer needs.

The 3D laser scanning system at Ohio Laser can process objects up to 48″ x 48″ in a single scan. Most importantly, operators can use a quick multiple scanning process to “merge” parts of infinite length and up to twice the width of the 1220mm x 1220mm (48″ x 48″) scan table. For reverse engineering services, the scanning system can measure any flat or opaque part. Other tolerances include laser scanning parts up to 8″ (200mm) thick, with a weight of up to 200 lbs (90 kg).
