The Importance of Automated Cutting Machinery in Manufacturing

Automated cutting machinery has revolutionized the manufacturing sector; it has undergone a transformation, becoming faster, more cost-effective and more efficient thanks to the automated cutting machinery and equipment. A wide variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and composites, can be accurately cut and shaped by these machines using computer-controlled systems very proficiently.

At Long Engineering, we focus on providing fabrication and machining services using cutting-edge automated cutting technology. Our highly skilled team of engineers and machinists creates high-quality, precise parts for a range of industries using the most recent technology.

 

Types of Automated Cutting Machinery

CNC Plasma Cutters

Metal, wood, and plastic can all be easily cut with the help of CNC plasma cutters using a high-velocity jet of ionized gas. The plasma jet's intensity and direction are controlled by the machine's computer to accurately and precisely cut and shape complex shapes.

For our customers in the aerospace, automotive, and defence areas, Long Engineering uses CNC plasma cutters to produce custom parts.

 

Water jet Cutting Machines

Metal, stone, and glass can all be cut with water jet cutting machines using a high-pressure water jet combined with abrasive particles. To produce precise cuts and shapes, the machine's computer controls the water pressure and the jet's direction.

Long Engineering uses water jet cutting equipment to produce intricate shapes and parts for its customers in the marine, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.

 

Laser Cutting Machines

High-powered laser beams are used by laser cutting machines to pierce materials like metal, wood, and plastic. The laser beam's intensity and direction are controlled by the machine's computer to produce precise cuts and shapes. 

At Long Engineering, we use laser-cutting machines to create precise parts and components for our clients in the medical, aerospace, and defence industries.

 

The Benefits of Automated Cutting Machinery

• Increased Efficiency 

Traditional cutting techniques are much slower and less effective compared to the automated cutting equipment. These machines are used in order to produce parts and components with a high degree of accuracy and consistency, which decreases the need for labour-intensive manual employment and boosts productivity.

 

•  Cost-Effective 

Long-term cost savings are achieved with automated cutting equipment. These machines can precisely manufacture large numbers of parts and components, minimizing material waste and the need for rework.

 

• Versatility

Automated cutting equipment is adaptable and can be used to cut and shape a variety of materials, including composites, plastics, and metals. They are therefore perfect for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defence, automotive, and medical.

Automated cutting equipment has completely changed the manufacturing sector, making it quicker, more cost-effective, and more efficient. At Long Engineering, we produce high-quality, precise parts for a range of industries using cutting-edge automated machinery. We offer highly effective and economical solutions that are suited to your business needs, whether you are looking for small or large production orders involving metal or plastic machining.
