On much tray of a belt / the system of high speed Laser Cutting of next makings systems turned over productivity one time, wanted place labour force to reduce an in part, improved spare parts quality, brought more business to oneself thereby. Limited company of mill of standard board gold (SSMW) held water in Feburary 2001, basically be to support a standard to defend a company (SMC) , be located in Tennessee Meng Fei this what city has many 50 full-time stuff is total / mechanical contractor. At that time, SMC vice-president Geoprge Hampton is seeking a kind of appropriate measure, the client that gives its food processing, chemical industry and medical treatment industry thereby as soon as possible and offer all efficiently to wrap as far as possible (Turnkey) , high quality is average build, workpiece of steel of workpiece of process conduit, mechanical installation, structure and board gold is made wait for a service. Nowadays, SSMW has come true, and was head and shoulders above this target. Set to take CNC to control much tray to go up through adding / the high power flight of next makings systems is smooth system of laser of road 4kW CO2, this factory had increased his ability and business, can poor in the first month thereby this area and limits of whole United States are sought more of diversity make and produce scope of business. Graph 1: SSMW company uses system of an Axel 3015 L 4KW CO2Laser Cutting, it designs contemporary machine tool and technology of tectonic, advanced laser and union of advanced material processing technique are an organic whole. Expect unit is versed in every on can carry dimension to be 3/4 inch, crowd is large the plank that amounts to 12 inches. Be in a company just when practice, production operation basically has by hand, and be a feature in order to work thick and fast. Its job is custom-built stainless steel component for the most part, include galley equipment, material to carry equipment, transport and deferent slideway and the device that are used at food industry to wait. A lot of spare parts size are very large, and outline is very complex, the conduit discharging wind of the bent housing of the changeover conduit between canal of diameter of such as cone, funnel, different, section and kitchen, but this company also has professional technology in respect of small part production. Lot size is in all the time 1000 less than. The complexity that Hampton realizes a spare parts very quickly and generate tall nice spare parts to need more advanced technology quickly. After consider and be compared what pass 8 months, the system of Axel 3015 L 4kW CO2Laser Cutting that Hampton and SSMW vice-president Tommy Ripley bought to be produced by the Strippit/LVD company of city of Akron of new York city. When the laser system that searchs the demand that contented workshop increases ceaselessly, hampton and Ripley considered level of board size ability, cut ply ability, power, automation, and the handy sex of the operation. They are right these features, quality of along with speed, precision, cut and software undertook assessment. Contain compositive on / the flight of next makings systems and 4kW CO2 laser is smooth road laser system makes the characteristic of equipment and ability got best unity. Hampton says: "We should exhaust may tall precision and as far as possible quick way reachs top quality level. " the ancon form canal of the changeover conduit between canal of diameter of one part, funnel, different, combination and conduit of kitchen platoon wind, but it also produces small size part. Lot size is in 1000 less than. The major work of the company is ply is 20 ～ 22 standards unit (Gauge) till 1/2 inch stainless steel component. Use this laser system, SSMW is OK the stainless steel with deeper cut, other machine processing factory compares it and such place, have larger competitive dominant position. The laser power of 4kW still allows this plant with higher manufacturing rate efficient processing or thin or thick mild steel (3/4 inch) reach aluminium (3/8 inch) material is qualitative. Power of this kind of high output makes feed speed was achieved the biggest change, improved productivity significantly at the same time. The design of flight smooth path of laser system can help the cutting rate with accurate higher implementation, and how much be no matter wait for the dimension of the plank of cutting or weight, . This company can be achieved in order to exceed 300 inches / minute rate cut part, and with 6700 inches / minute speed undertakes repetition fixed position. SSMW assists gassing not to have the spare parts of oxide with nitrogen, do not produce burr thereby. It is OK that high quality spare parts adopts a working procedure on laser system treatment comes out. The spare parts quality after laser is handled prevented the grinding of take time and finish machining operation, assured the production with better cost effectiveness. Spare parts quality is right this factory especially important, because of its main client total meeting is stemmed from beautiful reach healthful reason, and the spare parts quality with top demand and precision. Hampton says: "We hope to offer high quality spare parts and component to give our client with the fashion with more seasonable and higher cost effectiveness. We hope to make the one one's share of the duty standard that drives this group line of business. " graph 3: The material range that SSMW machines with 4kW laser machine is very wide, include stainless steel and aluminous material to pledge. Major part is 22 standards unit (1/2 of Gauge) thick ～ inch stainless steel. Use pitch of high power resonance, this company can process thicker data, handle the project of wider range. The precision of reference axis fixed position of the machine tool is ± 0. 002 inches / 40 inches, repeat fixed position precision to be ± 0.
0004 inches, ensured consistent high accuracy is handled. The precision of Laser Cutting and consistency still were reduced solder and assemble time. Assemble accurately together. Hampton says: "On laser system the spare parts of cut is installed faultlessly together, decreased to solder greatly thereby the labor with finish machining respect. " the work that considers future, and for everyday 24 hours operate this laser system, SSMW is added set a 3 tray to go up / next makings systems. Use many tray, the workshop can change quickly material, reduce material greatly carry. Makings system is versed in in every on can carry 3/4 inch less than crowd is large for 12 inches board. It can carry the rate of system of the makings below CNC control according to the dimension of the weight of place discharge material or spare parts, in order to ensure the spare parts of a debus piles up smoothly. The part with good cut is deposited to be in to bearing amount to 5 tons, on the scissors workbench that piles up height amounts to 14 inches. Benefit controls type to go up with completely compositive CNC / next makings systems, can finish independently go up to expect and leave makings function, go up always / next makings time are 40 seconds. On / those who leave makings system is compositive still allow to undertake unmanned guard is produced, make operator OK vacate time to finish other job. When laser system is having cut, machine tool operator can is opposite below one group of spare partses undertake process designing. Unmanned guard operation saved a large number of cost for SSMW, since since installing laser machine, already greatly cut the demand to labour force. Graph 4: The client that SSMW gives food treatment, chemical industry and medical treatment industry supplies a part. This company is offerred hand in key project, high quality to be built commonly, workpiece of steel of process pipeline system, mechanical installation, structure and board gold is made wait for a service. Cent bag is made or laser beam machining makes Hampton needs to control process of delivery time, production rarely final perhaps result. Nowadays, SSMW can compare the demand that can answer a client quickly before to provide only source solution (Single-source Solution) . Hampton says: "Our work is completed when the factory comes off work very much for the most part. Need not rely on a certain person to let us feel very set one's mind at. " he continues to say: "We regard the jumping-off place of our business as the service. Laser system makes us OK and complete control when the part can have been made, and how are they made. Turnaround time is a crucial question in our business, our fame also is built be opposite the client can be made answer in time, over the product that offers special high quality to them when the client needs. " he complements: "This laser machine makes our client right our ability has bigger hope. Our client wants to concentrate energy on their business; They want to entrust their production task the manufacturer that trusts to oneself to finish. " in addition, the flexibility of this laser system still makes Hampton and Ripley OK seek the new business beyond its company's original support business. Hampton says: "This laser system makes board gold is made more simple, and make we had the diversity that place of pursuit new business needs. " SSMW factory enlarged dimensions recently, increased 18000 square foot area, have 30 full-time stuff now. Hampton says, in laser technology respect devoted cost had gotten get one's own back. "This capital is the investment with larger brushstroke for small to company, but we are aimed at an interest and balance risk, we have hope to our business and the relation with the client. Market turnover is a problem, but not be a big question. We had achieved growth on business. " to SSMW factory, business opportunity is growing ceaselessly. The company invested additional production facility recently, the curved trigger of nicety of Strippit/LVD PPEB 190/13 that includes to take Easy-Form laser to get used to the system that fold a turn oneself and a Global 20 1225 CNC turn tower type punching machine. Additional yield can expand factory of standard board gold passes the ability of demand of high quality product is fast and efficient contented client further. A High-speed Laser With Multi-pallet Load/unload System Doubles Productivity, cuts Labor Requirements In Half, and Improves Part Quality For Growing Business.
