Flip through the Modern Equipment Review Spotlight on laser and waterjet machining in November’s issue, and you might notice evidence of a current industry trend: Builders are creating machines that can perform multiple processes. Examples include:
- Esab’s Hydrocut LX, a combination waterjet and plasma cutting system;
- Trumpf’s TruLaser Cell 3000, a laser cutting and welding machine; and
- Tsugami’s S206-II, a Swiss-type lathe that’s also equipped with a laser cutting system.
