Laser cutting describes the process of using an industrial laser to precisely cut flat sheet metal, structural and piping materials for a variety of final outputs. A computer, generally reading from CAD drawings, directs the laser to follow a pre-set path and cut materials leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish. Compared to traditional cutting methods, laser cutting delivers ultra-tight tolerances and eliminates the need for re-tooling.
The main advantages of laser cutting are the lack of physical contact (there is no cutting edge which can become contaminated), and the extreme precision allowed. There is also a reduced chance of warping the material as laser systems have a very small heat affected zone.
Finished parts are labeled for easy shipping and receiving.
Tornado has one of
the few towers in
Alberta, able to quickly change sheet sizes or thickness to save customer’s time and money.
Tornado can offer drafting and laser cutting for both small, one-off custom projects (such as business signs) to large, repeat orders for major industrial manufacturers (every part is exact). We have no minimum size job.
CAD drawings are turned into precisely cut materials.
All customers enjoy the same benefits including superior customer service and the highest quality final product. We pride ourselves on maximizing the layout of drawings to use every possible square inch of sheet metal. Efficient use of materials maximizes our customer’s quantity of end product. When required, Tornado can provide drafting assistance for our customers.
