New fiber laser cutting technology is a game changer. Stainless Steels can be processed up to 6 times faster! Materials like copper, brass, and aluminum are easier and faster to process as well.
Northern's custom developed software allows us to price your parts from CNC code. This improves accuracy and reduces lead times when the order is placed. There is no need to wait for an engineer to program the parts.
The latest in laser technology is combined with material handling automation. This allows for as much laser cutting time as possible.
Northern can cut parts up to 80 inches wide and 20 feet long. This allows you to combine multiple parts into one, and eliminate costly welding operations.
Large storage towers hold tons of sheet metal waiting for processing. This keeps the laser cutting as close to 100% of the time as possible, and reduces lead times.
Huge opportunities exist to reduce cost with a large format laser. One customer was able to combine parts and eliminate welding in a part that had tight tolerances. Not only was the price of the part reduced, but the quality issues from weld distortion were eliminated.
Northern can kit groups of parts together for simplified assembly upon delivery. We do this for our own fabricators in-house for every order. We have even developed Kit Carts for customers to help facilitate KANBAN or JIT initiatives for some companies.
