A Hypertherm Case Study
Fought & Company, a large steel fabricator in the Pacific Northwest, struggled to be competitive in complex pipe, tube, and plate cutting applications. Their manual process of using an oxygen acetylene torch with templates was extremely slow and required extensive post-cutting grinding, which hindered their ability to win new business. To address this challenge, they turned to vendor Hypertherm for a solution.
Hypertherm implemented its XPR300 plasma cutting system along with Rotary Tube Pro software. This automated solution dramatically increased cutting speed and accuracy while eliminating the need for outsourcing. As a result, jobs that once took 8-16 hours were completed in under an hour, saving significant time and money. The improved cut quality also drastically reduced grinding and cleanup. This allowed Fought & Company to successfully compete for and win new, more complex projects, increasing their market share and profitability.
