Cutting
Our cutting capabilities are almost limitless. From lasers to band saws, we have a solution for your metal cutting needs. We have machines that can cut almost any material including glass, wood or plastic, and of course we can help you with any additional operations your product may require.
Laser
Laser cutting is often the most effective process for cutting plate or
sheet metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and many
other alloys. Rapid-Line's laser cutting
processes incorporate automated material handling, off-line programming and
part nesting for material maximization. This provides precision, flexibility,
low cost and speed for our customers. Plus zero set-up time and around
the clock unattended processing capability is perfect for one piece or long
runs.
Turret Punching
Rapid-Line also offers turret punching. Turret Punching is a fast way
to cut basic shapes in sheet material using various punch shapes like
rectangles and circles. Our turret punching offers repeatable precision and
speed for medium to long production runs.
Saws
We also offer a full line of sawing capabilities including band saws and chop saws. Our
saws are effective for cutting various types of tube, rod, or extrusions.
Many of these are automated and programmable for repeatable quality and increased throughput.
Water Jet
Rapid-Line's water jet cutting machine provides us with the capability to
cut a wide variety of materials, including thick metal alloys, glass,
plastic, wood and more. Our water jet cutting process provides precision, accuracy
and versatility.
Shearing
CNC shearing is most often used in conjunction with another process such as
laser cutting or turret punching. This is the most effective way to make
long straight cuts for up to 0.25 inch thick steel.
