Zeman Manufacturing Co. provides laser tube cutting services with general capabilities that include contract, complex, fabrication, OEM production, and prototyping. The process uses CO2 gaseous lasers for high precision results. Laser systems are available in flying optics, hybrid, and moving material configurations. Cutting operations are performed on 2, 3, 5, and 6-axis machines to handle different project needs.

Metal cutting is supported for aluminum, brass, copper, ferrous metal, heavy plate, Inconel®, Monel®, non-ferrous metal, mild steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, steel, thin metal, and tube. Non-metal materials such as acrylic, ceramic, paper, paperboard, plastic, rubber, and wood can also be processed. Supported profiles include round, rectangular, and square. Cutting diameter is available up to 4.75 inches. The equipment list includes LT fiber tube laser for accurate and fast cutting.

Production is handled for prototype, low to high volume, and blanket orders. Lead times are quoted on a job by job basis, with emergency and rush services available. Efficiency is maintained through Six Sigma yellow, green, and black belt certifications, lights out, lean manufacturing, and Kaizen/5S practices.

Industry focus includes aerospace, automotive, electronics, telecommunications, defense, packaging, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, oil and gas pipeline. Industry standards followed include ANSI, AS, ASME, ASTM, AWS, CE, CSA, DOT, FAA, FDA, ISO, Mil-Spec, NADCAP, QS, RoHS, SAE, and TS.

Laser Configuration

 N/A Flying Optics
(Flying optics lasers feature a stationary table and a cutting head (with laser beam) that moves over the work piece in both of the horizontal dimensions. Flying-optics cutters keep the workpiece stationary during processing, and often don't require material clamping.)

Hybrid
(Hybrid lasers provide a table which moves in one axis (usually the X-axis) and move the head along the shorter (Y) axis. This results in a more constant beam delivery path length than a flying optic machine and may permit a simpler beam delivery system.)

Moving Material
(Moving material lasers have a stationary cutting head and move the material under it.)

  • 1 Cutting Axis is the number of axes of motion a cutting machine is capable of cutting. 2-axis machines are used to cut flat sheet material while a 3-axis machine is used to cut three dimensional parts. Some 5-axis and 6-axis machines can perform cutting operations on parts that have been pre-formed by casting or machining.
