Laser Cut Close Tolerance Truss Tube for Construction Industry
(click on thumbnail to enlarge)
|
A client from the construction industry approached us seeking a cost-effective solution for manufacturing steel truss tubes. Our 3-D lasers proved ideal for fabricating these truss tubes at high repeatability and close tolerances of 0.040". 3-D laser technology eliminated the machining steps and allowed us to produce the part at lower cost. Made from hot rolled pickled sheets, the truss tubes weighed 2.5 lbs with dimensions of 15.65" in length, 1" in width, and 1" in height. The tubes were finally shrink-wrapped and delivered to the client in 3 weeks. |
