The Shim Shack | IPG Laser Cutting Machine for Small, Thin Parts

Learn how IPG laser cutting technology transformed this metal fabrication shop. The Shim Shack is a family-owned and operated sheet metal fabrication shop in Harrison, OH. Founded in 1974 by the Stock brothers in a two-car garage, the shop has grown to 160+ employees. The Shim Shack serves a wide range of customers, including NASA, Tesla and Boston Dynamics. Website: https://www.theshimshack.com/ The Challenge: The Shim Shack specializes in manufacturing small parts made of thin gauge foils. They specialize in online sales, where users can customize parts using a configurator. Using traditional cutting processes, these simple cutting projects took weeks to complete and lead to hefty inventory costs. The Solution: LaserCube is powered by IPG fiber lasers, which can process reflective metals and foils as thin as 0.001" with ease. This compact laser cutting machine can cut hundreds of small parts in less than an hour. The Shim Shack was able to transform their turnaround from a few weeks to 1-2 days. Online Part Customization Process The Shim Shack's website allows visitors to custom design shims. Users begin with basic designs and modify based on their project's specifications. These designs are automatically fed to the sales team, who then transform them into a design file for LaserCube to cut. Turnaround for most requests is only 1-2 days, which exceeds customers' expectations and allows The Shim Shack to increase its capacity. Transform Your Current Process with Laser Technology Traditionally, The Shim Shack had to store a lot of parts on the shelf. Carrying a lot of inventory increased overhead costs and took up valuable floor space. To combat this challenge, this shop adopted laser cutting technology. The team is reworking their process for LaserCube's 4x4 work area. Now with LaserCube, parts can be processed and shipped off to customers within a day or so. Download Datasheet: http://bit.ly/lasercube-datasheet Grow Your Shop's Capabilities After experiencing great success with LaserCube, The Shim Shack introduced IPG laser marking technology to their shop floor. This technology gives the team the opportunity to increase the shop's capabilities and create products that they have not created in the shop's 40+ years in business. The Shim Shack plans to further build out their website's customization tool to allow visitors to design their own laser marked pieces.

Advanced Battery Concepts | IPG Laser Welding for a Better Battery

Learn how IPG laser welding technology helped create a better battery. Advanced Battery Concepts was founded in 2009 with the belief that the world needs better batteries. Over the past 10 years, it has expanded from the founder's garage in Clare, MI to having 6 global manufacturers in countries such as China, India, and Bulgaria. Visit Website: https://advancedbatteryconcepts.com/ The Challenge: Making lead batteries better is possible, but Advanced Battery Concepts required a solution to manufacture its patented bipolar batteries at scale. Welding batteries is a time consuming process that requires several steps, each welding different geometries and materials. The Solution: Advanced Battery Concepts' GreenSeal™ Technology, is a suite of technologies required to manufacture bipolar batteries. IPG Multi-Axis Standard's laser welding technology has allowed their team to process many different battery formats and create a higher quality finished product. Transform Your Current Process with Laser Technology Multi-Axis Standard's 19.7 × 11.8 × 11.8 inch work envelope gives the team ample room for each stage of the welding process, with little setup between tasks. IPG laser welding technology can be used for fine welding tasks, such as joining the SAE terminal post to the busbar. The large work envelope also allows for the team to place the entire battery inside the system when it is time to weld the busbar to the battery's terminal brackets. Download Datasheet: http://bit.ly/multi-axis-standard Improved Weld Quality = Better Batteries Welding bipolar batteries requires several steps, so the versatility of the Multi-Axis Standard is invaluable when it comes to welding different battery formats. From individual components to placing the entire battery into the laser system, the majority of manufacturing can be completed with a single machine. Their system is equipped with a 4 kW YLS laser and D30 welding head, which creates a robust weld thanks to deep weld penetration. Stronger welds with clean finishes adds to the quality of the battery, while the system's versatility helps save the team time. Utilize Laser Technology for Weld Preparation Advanced Battery Concepts introduced a 30 W integrated laser marking system for treating foil surfaces before welding. When a shipment of foil is received, it often contains contaminants that can cause a barrier to create a chemical reaction between the positive and negative acted material and the foil surface. Advanced Battery Concepts collaborated with IPG application labs to develop this surface treatment process.

Drilling Eleven Hundred 0.5 mm Holes in Less Than an Hour with IPG LaserCube

Drilling small holes through thick stainless steel is always a problem. Now imagine drilling ELEVEN HUNDRED 0.5 mm holes. LaserCube easily and consistently drills clean holes with no tool breakage. An industrial machine shop job included shaping a circular part form 200 mil stainless steel, thinning a section down to 0.120" then drilling 1100 holes. By first milling the shape on a Hurco then switching to a laser for the hole drilling, they reduced the total job time by more than 2 hours compared to running on the Hurco alone. Those times ignored the additional savings from eliminating the down time due to broken drill bits, which happens sometimes with 0.020" holes. Once they discovered the benefits of having laser cutting in house, they began switching more jobs to the cutter, and doing more combination processing on both milling machines and the laser. Watch their story and see if you too could decrease outsourcing costs, increase your shop capacity, reduce bid prices and boost profits.
