REQUEST FOR QUOTE Laser Cutting Home Metal Fabrication Services Laser Cutting Equipped with (8) high power laser cutting machines Watson Engineering Inc. is capable to meet all prototype and production needs. Also with years of experience and state of the art technology, experts burn any shape into thin or thick plate steel and aluminum for use in a multitude of applications. Fully Automated 3-Axis Lasers Furthermore, Watson technicians are leaders in providing metal fabrication solutions for industrial machines, heavy equipment, and any other industry requiring high quality, robust components, and assemblies. Watson Engineering, Inc. offers a full spectrum of CO2 laser cutting machines capable of cutting prototype and production parts including many additional benefits as well. First of all, Watson utilizes only state-of-the-art laser cutting technology of the highest quality in the industry. While any shape cut from the thinnest of sheet stock up to plate steel and aluminum for a multitude of applications with stock measuring 3/4″ (20mm) thick. Because most often laser cut parts require no tooling charges it saves on cost for the customer. Additionally, high power lasers offer rapid turn-around time for Watson customers. Also, laser cutting services complemented by machining, press brake, stamping/forming, and welding departments. Finally, Watson’s high power laser cutting capabilities offer a low-cost alternative to stamping. The new Mitsubishi Laser 3020D at Watson Engineering provides additional high-performance multi-axis lasers for maximum productivity. Therefore, Watson is thrilled to add this to the equipment list to deliver the cleanest cuts with the highest level of reliability, precision, and overall performance. Watson Engineering’s new 5-axis CO2 laser! The high power laser cutting machine heads have optimizable configuration settings. Whether cutting solid materials or simply using multiple cutting nozzle combinations on thick or other delicate materials. Watson provides a faster and more accurate trim to 3-dimensional components! Efficient / lower cost system to compliment stamped and formed product! The Mitsubishi Laser 3020D Laser cutting has numerous advantages over mechanical cutting. Laser cutting is less labor intensive, in fact, it is also much more cost effective. The precision of the cut is much better because the laser does not wear during cutting and there’s less potential for the material being cut to warp or become contaminated. Lasers may also cut through more kinds of materials than mechanical cutters and also have controlling software to be sure accuracy. Output power alone does not define cutting performance or the edge quality of a cut. It takes superior “cutting power” to achieve high-performance results. High power laser cutting services at Watson Engineering optimize the process by creating the perfect blend of output power with the Mitsubishi 5-axis laser cutting beam quality, stability and power control. Results are visible through superior edge quality, lower thermal effects, precision cutting ability, and greater overall processing power. Committed to safety – Mitsubishi lasers designed with a thorough consideration of safety. Watson Employees are happy to work with the laser cutting machines. Due to the fact, the high power laser cutting machines offer a variety of unique safety features.
