1/2” max on Copper for “Clean Edge”– could go to ¾” with slightly rougher edge.
1/2” max on Brass for “Clean Edge”– could go to ¾” with slightly rougher edge.
Our New Fiber Laser is Wicked Fast
Houston Fiber Laser
Fiber Laser technology is new and we just installed the first US BLM Fiber laser. Not only is the fiber laser up to 10 times faster than traditional lasers, it cuts with much better edge quality. Not that our old lasers have poor edge quality, it’s just that the fiber performs better in problematic metals like Aluminum and stainless steel, where reflectivity and heat buildup cause issues. Our new fiber laser can cut through 1″ carbon, 3/4′ ” aluminum and stainless and 1/2″ aluminum and stainless steel with superior edge quality. It will even laser cut copper and brass material up to 1/2″ thick.

3D Tube Laser Cutting
Cutting in 3D on various off the shelf tube sizes, angles and other structural dimensions is a breeze with the Mazak U44. It cuts stainless, aluminum and carbon steel.
It’s Almost Here – Large Tube Laser
Our new ADIGE LT-8 Laser cutting large, heavy wall metal tubes. 3D angles for better welding fit up, coping, chamfers, slot and tab fixturing. Large and thick wall tubes to be welded or for joints or couplings requiring precision. Making special, open, concave and asymmetric sections in round tubing, square tubing and structural tubing.
LT-8 Specs
Steel 5/8″ wall thickness
Aluminum 1/4″ thick
Stainless Steel 3/8″ thick
Large Format Tube Laser, Cuts Through 5/8″ wall thickness on 8″ diameter round tube & 6″ square tubing.
The large magazine holds up to 20 foot lengths at high production quantities of tube and pipe.
Houston Tube Laser 3D Laser Cutting Stainless Steel Fish Mouth Coping
3D Tube laser cutting fish mouth coping on 5.5″ Stainless Steel tubing. The laser was CNC programmed to cut at precise angles for the weld bead and a nice coped fit to a matching leg on industrial food processing equipment. Try that with a torch!
Houstex Trade Show Exhibiting Laser Metal Fabrication
Trade show exhibits for our RiverCity Industries principal. This is our 5th year to exhibit at Houstex. Showing off Laser metal cutting in Houston Texas at the George R. Brown convention center. This year we were honored to arrange for our Greater Houston Manufacturing Association www.houston-mfg.com to get a booth courtesy of our partner Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Thanks to all of our customers and new prospects that came by to visit – it was a fantastic show!
* We selected a booth space adjacent to an open area in the show floor plan. It was nice to see that they filled that space with a yellow convertible Ferrari – that was a real show stopper and right across the aisle from our booth!
Heavy Metal Plate Welded Assemblies
Our Lasers cut these 1/2″ plates smoothly and efficiency – saving our customer money by eliminating the need for secondary processes. Our welding department completed the assembly turn key.
