Northern's eight laser machines are capable of cutting flat sheets, tube/pipe, or full assemblies.
Sheet Metal Laser Cutting
Laser cutting has been a staple of our production process for over 20 years. We have invested in fully automated systems that can cut parts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This experience and automation allows us to produce precision cut parts as cost effectively as possible.
Problem: On a Thursday afternoon, a regular customer came to us with a crisis. They had over 40 hours of laser cutting work they needed done, and they needed it by the end of the day on Monday.
Solution: While other fabricators may have balked at this situation, Northern jumped on the opportunity to nurture this relationship. Our automated CNC programming software allowed our engineers to convert CAD drawings into CNC code by mid-day Friday. We did not have to charge additional overtime labor to our customer, because our "lights out" laser cutting cell ran unattended over the weekend.
Results: The last shipment left Northern at 3PM Monday afternoon, and we cemented another customer relationship.
