“What Ace can do with their tube laser takes sanitary frame weldments to a whole new level of speed and accuracy.” -Ace customer
For food companies, nothing is more sacred than sanitary
weldments and manufacturing But speed to market and cost efficiencies are also
crucial. So at Ace, we’ve been able to achieve all this and more with tube
laser technology.
Today Ace manufacturers frame weldments using the tube laser
to go from the customer’s 3-D model directly into machine G-code, a process
that allows us to eliminate mistakes and produce consistent, accurate
frames—frame after frame. The seamless, single piece flow process is just part
of the story; frame weldments that once took ten weeks before tube laser
technology now take half the time with exact precision at a lower cost.
So speed to market, accuracy and cost efficiencies are
assured. Where’s the magic? There is no manual entry of dimensions or measuring
for things like the saw, the mill or drills. According to Ace Engineering VP,
Kevin Bailey, “When you think about the fact that there are hundreds of
components in each frame, you risk compound errors if you’re not using tube
laser technology. It lets us take the customer’s 3-D model and go straight to
G-Code programming without translating through other software. We can cut
precisely as the customer designed the model.”
While many fabricators use tube laser technology to produce
commodity parts, Ace specializes in fabrication of sanitary equipment for the
food industry. At Ace we utilize our decades of fabrication know-how along with
the latest in technology to turn your 3-D models from concept to reality.
