Tube & Pipe Dream - Delivered

Small to medium. Thick or thin-walled. Round. Square. Rectangular. Triangular. I-Beam, H-Beam. C-Channel. Stainless. Mild. Aluminum. Oblong holes. Slots or Tabs. If your engineers can dream it, Ace can process it with our advanced Mazak FABRIGEAR Tube and Pipe laser.

It used to be that complex structural products required multiple processes and setups - often six or seven if you count each time a part was handled at the sawing, drilling or milling station. Today there's a better way at Ace. With the advanced technology of our FABRIGEAR laser even some of the most complex structural designs and frames require one operation and one set-up. We're among only a handful of Midwest fabricators to have this incredible technology.

Automated
Software
Imports x_t parasolid, IGES, DWG or DXF data and FG-CAD/CAM will create a 3D material shape from an arbitrary 2D shape.

Programming software is easy to use with illustrated fill-in-the-blank screens for quickly generating NC code. It performs dynamic nesting and has over 70 pre-programmed cutting parameters. Program-controlled loading, workholding and unloading.

The 64-bit, 25-axis numeric control of the FABRIGEAR simultaneously controls the six-axis laser cutting head, rotary chuck and auto feed for production-cut contours and bevels such as those required for fit-ups on saddle joints and intersecting pipes. Also, as a way to help customers realize the full potential of this technology, Ace has integrated tapping tools with the FABRIGEAR. The automatic tapping system taps threads on all the above material types. The system holds six different taps and with compressed air can tap holes under 1/2" in diameter.
