Looking to Improve Their Laser Cutting Capabilities, AFS Turned to Amada.
Located in northeast Ohio,
Advanced Fabrication Solutions, Inc.
provides high-quality laser cutting and
metal fabrication to multiple industries and
regions throughout the U.S. and Canada.
According to AFS Vice President, Bob Jones,
“In response to customers’ increasing demands
for higher quality and lower cost, we needed to upgrade to new laser technology. We conducted a comprehensive search of laser manufacturers and it became very clear that Amada is the technology leader. With older technology, we were cutting at approximately 200 ipm. Now, we’re cutting up to 1,034 ipm and holding tight tolerances.”
Amada’s LCG 3015 Laser Cutting System Provides:
• ATurnkey Solution (All of the items necessary for installation, training, and production are included with the purchase of the LCG laser cutting system).
• Excellent Price/Performance Ratio (The LCG’s cutting head is propelled by a highly-dynamic motion system that achieves the accelerations and rapid traverse speeds of more expensive linear drive motion systems).
• Maximum Productivity (The LCG 3015 achieves
outstanding levels of print-to-product productivity.
In addition, the LCG’s automatic shut-off feature
enables AFS to run “lights out” adding up to 2 hours per day of production).
• Maximum Versatility (The LCG achieves the same cut quality as a higher-powered CO2 machine with the capability to process 3/4" mild steel, 3/8" stainless, and 5/16" aluminum with superb edge quality).
Reflecting on the decision to choose Amada, AFS President Jarrod Hastings states, “The fact that a service engi- neer would show up unannounced to see how things were going was very foreign to us. And, knowing that my business partner, Bob Jones, or I can pick up the phone and have immediate access to all levels of Amada staff continues to impress us. By leveraging those resources, we plan to grow with Amada for many years to come.”
