Metal parts manufacturer in Poland: fiber laser cutting for diverse orders

A metalworking company in southern Poland was running two plasma cutting machines over ten years old. Cut quality was no longer competitive, and setup times between orders stopped production for long minutes at every sheet change.

The challenge

Their clients (steel structures, industrial furniture, automotive parts) demanded clean edges without burrs and ever-shorter deadlines. Plasma left a wide heat-affected zone, and thin parts warped. On top of that, between each sheet the operator had to stop the machine, manually load the next sheet, and realign everything.

The solution

They purchased a fiber laser cutting machine with a double table. While the laser cuts on one table, the operator prepares the next sheet on the other. When cutting finishes, the tables swap automatically, and production continues without stopping. The laser power covers steel up to 20 mm, stainless steel, and aluminum.

The result

Production time dropped by 60%. The heat-affected zone is minimal, so parts come out without warping and without additional processing. Their clients receive parts ready for welding or painting, with no intermediate steps. They were able to take on orders they previously refused (parts with complex geometries, small runs with frequent material changes) and grew their client portfolio by 40% in the first year.
