MTL Advanced increases laser cutting capacity

Rotherham-based contract manufacturing specialist, MTL Advanced, has invested in a new automated large format fibre laser cutting machine which will be fully operational by the end of January 2018.

As part of an ongoing investment strategy across the company, the new 6m x 2.5m 6kW Trumpf fibre laser provides excellent contour precision and part quality. It comes fully equipped with a LoadMaster, automatically loading sheets to take the strain away from operators and to improve speed and productivity.

Ideal for thin and fast cutting, the fibre laser will enable MTL to be competitive on large volume production contracts.

Karl Stewart, director at MTL Advanced, said: “Investment in the latest manufacturing equipment allows the business to remain competitive and enjoy sustained growth. This latest investment, which now totals £8.5 million over the last 18 months, enhances our production capacity and allows the business to provide a complete service to customers and the markets we serve.

“Lean manufacturing and automation continues to be an essential part of our strategy where we have automated large scale laser cutting machines, a robotic 640 tonne 7.3m press brake, and 10 robotic welding cells.”
