Complementing its other HD Plasma cutting, machining, forming and fabrication services, the new machine will allow Mayflower to open up business opportunities in many markets.
The Trumpf Trulaser 3060 can cut mild steel, stainless steel, Hardox wear resistant, Domex high strength steel, and aluminium up to 25mm thick and copper up to 10mm. It has a large cutting bed - 6m x 2.5m which means it can process up to 3000kg of large workpieces or multiple batches of smaller components at high speed, allowing Mayflower to offer its customers faster delivery times and competitive prices.
The Trumpf Trulaser can cut complex shapes without the need for tooling, producing high quality contamination free, high precision items with excellent edge definition and free of scratches and marks.
CNC driven, sheet utilisation is optimised to reduce component costs and due to its large format cutting bed it can process, smaller batches of components from different materials and thicknesses, reducing the cost per part for low volumes.
Darren Bradley, Mayflower Engineering’s director & general manager, said: “Our Trumpf laser cutting machine is already proving to be a tremendous asset. We can now cut components from a wide range of materials, rapidly and precisely at least cost. Believed to be the first of its type in the UK, it is a perfect complement to our other engineering services and means we can now tender for more varied and demanding contracts.”
