Laser
cutting is a fast and efficient way to produce sheet metal parts with
very high degrees of precision and repeatability. Laser cutting is
a core competency at Northern, and we have been refining our skills
since 1989. We have invested in an automated laser cutting cell with
"lights out" manufacturing capabilities and a laser
cutting cell with punching capabilities.
"Lights Out" Laser Cutting
Our automated load/unloading
capabilities allow us to make your sheet metal parts when there is
no one in the building. In addition to increasing our efficiency and
reducing labor costs, this advantage also gives us additional laser
cutting capacity and scheduling flexibility.
Combination Laser Cutting / Turret Punching
Our ability to simultaneously punch
holes and laser cut shapes into your part provides substantial savings
on some sheet metal parts. Punching is more cost effective than laser
cutting for certain materials such as copper and aluminum. Punching
also gives us additional capabilities of forming, counter sinking,
extruded flanges, embossing, etc.
