Quotes for Laser Cutting & Other Fabrication Services »
Pittsburgh’s history as the “Steel City” is well-earned, and as the area moves into a less industrial future, there are still plenty of companies offering trusted sheet metal fabrication services. Part of becoming a leading fabrication company is expanding processing equipment and capabilities ot best match evolving demands, much like how Precision Steel Services has recently added new equipment to expand its Pittsburgh laser cutting services. The new Boss Laser FC-8016 EXT significantly expands Precision Steel’s laser cutting capabilities for Pittsburgh manufacturers and OEMs seeking a reliable, fast-turnaround laser cutting partner who also offers welding, powder coating, and assembly capabilities.
When it comes to laser cutting services, precise efficiency is the name of the game. Using effective nesting strategies to maximize material and minimize waste is the first step used by Precision Steel Services to optimize its laser cutting services. Nesting refers to fitting the most individual parts into a single sheet of metal, vastly improving precision and throughput on high-volume projects.
Automotive & EV Manufacturing → High-throughput is required for brackets, chassis components, battery housings, and other formed/welded subassemblies used to craft larger parts of the vehicle.
Aerospace & Defense → Laser cutting for aerospace and defense projects requires delivering exceptionally tight tolerances on structural hardware and other assemblies consistently produced from sheets of specialty alloys.
Heavy Equipment & Industrial Machinery → Using thick steel plates, Precision Steel Services can laser-cut structural components, brackets, frames, and protective shields with high efficiency that keeps costs competitive and delivers long-term durability.
HVAC & Electrical Enclosures → HVAC parts and components don’t typically require overly thick steel plate, opting for stainless or aluminum instead. Laser cutting services help maintain clean edges and maximize nesting efficiency.
Power Generation: Nuclear, Solar, & Wind → Solar racking components, battery hardware, turbine brackets, and other fabricated assemblies require delicate laser cutting to ensure each part falls within tolerance and design requirements.
High-volume laser cutting projects are all about speed, stability, and repeatable results. Precision Steel’s current and new laser cutting systems offer customers from a diverse range of industries access to high-wattage, large-format cutting tables with automation-ready configurations that work collectively to enhance efficiency and throughput. The increased wattage, now available through the new Boss FC-8016 EXT, delivers not only faster cutting speeds on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, but it also allows Precision Steel to work with thicker sheets. Increasing cutting capacity from ⅜” mild steel up to full 1” thick mild steel.
Even without the recent addition of a new Boss Laser, Precision Steel’s existing laser cutting capabilities are engineered to provide long-run consistency. Dense part nesting, stable fiber laser beam quality, and a reduced need for manual intervention in the cutting process result in predictable cycle times for workloads that span multiple shifts. With accuracy in the ±0.001"–0.005" range, each part is guaranteed to maintain dimensional integrity no matter the production volume. With experienced machine operators diligently observing the process and inspecting parts, Precision Steel’s in-house laser cutting services are capable of providing reliable part output in expedited turnaround times for repeat jobs and ongoing contract work.
The addition of the new laser to the equipment collection at Precision Steel not only helps those seeking laser cutting services. It has a direct impact on the downstream fabrication pipeline, creating a more efficient and vertically integrated workflow that makes prices more competitive and faster turnaround times. Faster and more accurate cutting technology with larger-format nesting allows for more parts to reach the welding tables, powder coating booth, pouring and debriding line, or the final assembly stage without bottlenecks. Instead of waiting for the laser to finish the next batch, the entire facility is well-stocked with parts that require the additional fabrication services offered. Maintaining this breadth of services completely in-house makes Precision Steel not only the leading laser cutting company in Pittsburgh but a regional powerhouse for start-to-finish steel and sheet metal fabrication jobs.
Precision Steel Services continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of Pittsburgh area manufacturers by pairing newly expanded laser cutting services with a fully integrated set of fabrication capabilities. With more efficient cutting speeds, thicker material capacity, and an easier transition into additional welding, coating, and assembly stages, Precision Steel is capable of delivering high-volume production support for OEMs throughout countless industries.
