Fiber laser packages cut accurately with gas, cooling, and consumables control, reducing handling, stabilizing quality, and lowering cost per part. Contact Mac-Tech: 888-MAC-9555

Pat O’Neill outlines a practical ROI model for evaluating coil automation payback, emphasizing data-driven choices in forming equipment and coil-fed line configuration. The approach ties capital decisions to measurable gains in throughput, tighter forming accuracy, and lower scrap through consistent material handling and process control. It also highlights how improved line reliability and reduced downtime come from better matched decoilers, straighteners, feeders, and press or roll-form integration, shortening payback by stabilizing production.

Nicole Salato guides shops to cut laser and press brake downtime by spotting wear early, replacing components, and scheduling maintenance before failures. Nicole Salato Service & Parts Lead – Mac-Tech nicole@mac-tech.com

Dave Graf outlines how procurement-to-production governance helps structural steel fabricators deliver on spec and on time in oil & gas, shipbuilding, bridge, and tower projects. The article emphasizes planning end-to-end automation around real workflows, integrating estimating, purchasing, material tracking, scheduling, and machine control to reduce rework and delays. By standardizing data and accountability from order intake through shipping, fabricators gain predictable throughput, better labor utilization, and measurable ROI.

Pat O’Neill explains how disciplined coil-to-part line planning turns throughput goals into predictable ROI. By selecting the right forming method and coil-fed system layout, manufacturers can stabilize feed and forming conditions, improve part accuracy, and reduce scrap from camber, twist, and setup variation. Proper matching of decoilers, straighteners, servos, and press or roll-form tooling boosts uptime and repeatability. Reliability improves when capacity, changeover strategy, and maintenance access are engineered in from the start.
