1 min read

The Laser Cutting Company of Sheffield, a subcontractor specialising largely in tubular fabrication, has taken delivery of the UK's first Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 tube laser cutting machine.

The company already has three tube lasers on site, but this is the first from Trumpf. The business model at The Laser Cutting Company is based on a 24-hour operation to maximise output. It's a formula that has proven popular among customers in sectors ranging from nuclear and oil, through furniture and hospital equipment, to construction and architecture – basically, anyone who requires a specialist manufacturing partner in tubular fabrications (although the company also provide flat bed laser cutting). The move to install the TruLaser Tube 7000 represents a "push towards the front of the field", a theme that has been evident since the company was established in 1981, when it was one of the first companies in the UK to cut materials with a laser. "The arrival of the TruLaser Tube 7000 not only brings us bang up to date, it nearly doubles capacity and fortifies our strategy of acquiring the most efficient machinery available," says the company's chairman, Jon Day. "There are three factors that secure business in this market: a competitive price, the right quality and on-time delivery. I'm sure the TruLaser Tube 7000 will further enhance our market offer with respect to these performance measures. The fact that the machine can also accommodate open and square section beams and channels also boosts our flexibility."
