TAM Metal Invests in Advanced CO2 Laser Cutting

TAM Metal Products, Inc. (Mahwah, NJ), a manufacturer dedicated to the production of metal products and mechanical assemblies primarily for the defense, aerospace and medical industries, continues to advance its service capabilities with the purchase of a Mitsubishi eX-S CO2 laser cutting machine from MC Machinery Systems, Inc. (Wood Dale, IL). The addition is a major investment in the shop’s ability to perform their demanding work more quickly and resource-efficiently.

“The Mitsubishi laser addition makes us a more productive company,” stated Ed Day, the operations manager at TAM. “I’ve worked with the top laser machines in the industry over the past 15 years and have come to appreciate the quality behind this equipment. That’s why we chose the eX-S. The machine eliminates both setup and finishing steps required with some of our other machines, saving time and improving quality along the way.”

The patented three-axis, cross-flow simplified resonator design delivers the highest cutting power per watt available and eliminates the need for expensive quartz tubes and turbine blower systems, optimizes cutting power, and requires two times to five times less maintenance than other laser equipment on the market. The machine’s compact design provides a small footprint without reducing table size. “Our eX series combines ease of operability, faster cutting, up-gradable automation, and eco-friendly, cost-saving features,” noted Jeff Hahn, the national product manager at MC Machinery. “It’s a smart choice for small job shops or high volume production facilities.”

The machine delivers low running costs and eco-friendly features for power and gas consumption, and stable operation for greater productivity. The ECO mode cuts running costs by up to 90 percent during standby. Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by around 30 percent compared to competitor machines.
