Ahner Industrial leverages our state-of-the-art Mitsubishi laser cutting machine to deliver faster turnaround times compared to waterjet cutting and other metal cutting methods. Our precision CNC laser cutting technology ensures consistently accurate parts and the highest quality, meeting the most demanding fabrication standards.
Our custom laser cutting capabilities include:
• Laser cutting steel sheet metal and plate up to 1 inch thick, with maximum dimensions of 60" x 120".
• Laser cutting stainless steel sheet metal and plate up to 3/4 inch thick, with maximum dimensions of 60" x 120".
• Laser cutting aluminum sheet metal and plate up to 1/2 inch thick, with dimensions up to 60" x 120", and more.
Additionally, our versatile laser cutting services extend beyond metals—we can efficiently cut acrylic, other plastics, and even exotic materials such as Inconel.
In addition to our custom laser cutting services, Ahner Industrial also offers precision sheet metal and plate plasma cutting. Our advanced CNC plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting machines can handle larger sheet sizes and thicker materials than our laser systems, enabling us to custom cut larger metal parts and heavy-duty plates. With plasma cutting speeds that far exceed those of waterjet cutting and require minimal cleanup, our service is both efficient and cost-effective.
Our custom plasma cutting capabilities include:
• Plasma cutting of steel sheet metal and plate up to 1 inch thick, with maximum dimensions of 96" x 218".
• Oxy-fuel cutting of steel plate up to 4 inches thick, also available in sizes up to 96" x 218".
In addition to steel, our plasma and oxy-fuel cutting machines can expertly process a variety of metals—including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and more—delivering high-quality, precisely cut components for even the most demanding fabrication projects.
Laser and Plasma Cutting FAQ
Q: What laser cutting machines does Ahner Industrial use?
A: We utilize two advanced laser cutting systems at Ahner Industrial: a state-of-the-art Trumpf 3040 fiber laser and a high-speed Mitsubishi laser cutting machine. Both systems are designed to provide exceptional precision and repeatability, ensuring micro-burr-free cuts and consistently accurate results across various metals.
Q: How do the Trumpf 3040 and Mitsubishi laser machines differ?
A: The Trumpf 3040 fiber laser is engineered for high-precision cutting with unparalleled quality, making it ideal for detailed work and demanding tolerances. In contrast, the Mitsubishi laser cutting machine is optimized for speed and offers a faster turnaround time compared to methods like waterjet cutting. While both machines ensure reliable and repeatable performance, each is best suited for different production needs depending on your project requirements.
Q: What are the cutting capabilities of your laser machines?
A: The Trumpf 3040 fiber laser is capable of cutting steel sheet metal and plate up to 1 inch thick, stainless steel up to 1.5 inches thick, and aluminum up to 1 inch thick, all with maximum dimensions of 78 by 157 inches. It is also capable of processing other metals such as copper and brass. Meanwhile, the Mitsubishi laser cutting machine offers similar precision and quality, delivering faster processing times for steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and additional materials.
Q: What plasma cutting solutions does Ahner Industrial offer?
A: In addition to our laser cutting services, we provide custom sheet metal and plate plasma cutting. Our advanced CNC plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting machines can handle larger sheet sizes and thicker materials than our laser systems, allowing us to custom cut larger metal parts and heavy-duty plates efficiently. The speed of plasma cutting significantly exceeds that of waterjet cutting, and it requires minimal cleanup after processing.
Q: What are the capabilities of your plasma cutting services?
A: Our plasma cutting service is designed for steel sheet metal and plate up to 1 inch thick with maximum dimensions of 96 by 218 inches. For even thicker materials, our oxy-fuel cutting service can process steel plate up to 4 inches thick, also within dimensions of 96 by 218 inches. Beyond steel, our plasma and oxy-fuel cutting systems are versatile enough to handle metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and more.
Q: How do I decide whether to use laser or plasma cutting?
A: Choosing between laser and plasma cutting depends on your project’s specific requirements. Laser cutting is ideal when you need exceptional precision, a clean edge finish, and tight tolerances. On the other hand, plasma and oxy-fuel cutting are better suited for projects involving larger parts and thicker materials, where fast processing speeds and efficient handling of heavy-duty plates are critical. Our experienced team can help determine the best method based on the details of your fabrication needs.
Q: How do these advanced cutting technologies benefit my project?
A: Our cutting-edge laser and plasma cutting technologies not only ensure exceptional accuracy and quality but also enhance production efficiency with faster turnaround times. This means that whether you require high-volume production or a one-off custom part, you benefit from reduced lead times, minimized material waste, and overall cost-effective fabrication that meets even the most demanding specifications.
