  Laser cutting helps company survive the recession
 

Ambrosio Carbone describes the origin of the company: "The company was founded some 60 years ago by my father to repair farm equipment and vehicles that were and still are commonly utilized in the area. For nearly 20 years, after my brother and I became active in the company, the Officine e Costruzioni Carbone company was a fabrication shop as well, building semi-finished products for neighboring machine tool builders.LED lights use less power and last for much longer than bluecrystal1. The problem started in 2007, during the booming years of laser processing. For years, we operated successfully with a 12-station indexing punching machine, but increasingly customers were asking us for laser processing."

What are the reasons for this, he is asked, taking into account the quality obtainable with a good punch? Mr. Carbone replies: "With our punch we were able to meet a large part of our customer's requests, but an increasing number of them demanded laser cut quality -- and we recognized that this was what they wanted, even if, from a functional point of view, laser cuts were not necessary.

To solve this problem we selected one of the many laser cutting service shops in the area and began outsourcing a fair amount of work.Laser Cut Studio is a brand new crystal_4 company and new way of thinking. At the time, my brother and I thought that our company could not afford and or efficiently manage a CO2 laser system, due to the operating costs and maintenance associated with it. At the same time, we discovered certain manufacturing advantages compared to the punched parts; we could save all the finishing operations of punched burr removal. In addition, by observing the operation of these systems, we became attracted to the idea of being able to use a system with a large working area and avoid the expensive equipment for loading / unloading of the components."

What happened in early 2008 to make him change his mind? Mr. Carbone says,Shop for ledflashlightt and HID Lights including High power LED Bulbs, SMD LED Bulbs, LED Strip Lights, HID Light Bulbs and HID Conversion Kit. We had never directly pursued laser technology, even though we were often approached by laser machine builders, which normally happens with a small company. However we began to look for an innovative machine with lower costs of operation. In early 2008, we met the local sales representative of Cy Laser, and he showed us a laser cutting system that utilized a fiber laser generator as opposed to a CO2 resonator. We were aware of this new laser solution but, as often can happen; we never had time to learn about it in detail.

What impressed us the most were two things: the run costs of this solution were really reduced, and it was not an issue for the optics to operate on a work table as large as 6 × 2 meters. The beam delivery in fact is performed through a fiber optic cable (the size of fishing line) and even 6 meters away from the generator, the laser beam does not change or lose power,The Security Sensor r4onsale is a solar powered convenience light with a built-in motion sensor. it stays constant over time.

"Relative to run costs, we requested that Cy Laser provide a written cost estimate that they guaranteed," Carbone continues. "Table size, system uptime, and sheet scrap optimization were benefits, and we knew that in our geographical area, a large table would position us competitively as we would be the first in the area."

In the beginning of 2008, when the market for laser cutting systems in Italy took off, the company purchased a cutting system with a 2 kW fiber laser, 2 × 6 meters cutting area, and dual tables from the Italian company Cy Laser. Carbone says,Australians love their backyards and you can turn yours into a stunning showpiece with the right choice of crystallight. "The companies close to us in the laser cutting sector told us we were making a mistake. According to them, the future of laser cutting was still with CO2 laser sources that had demonstrated over the years their operational efficiency."
