Laser Cutting

Mid-Plains Industries’ laser cutting capabilities add another dimension to the services we provide. Laser cutting is the leader in shape profiling because of its speed and accuracy.

Our Mazak 4000 watt laser center accepts sheet sizes up to 60” x 120” and is capable of cutting any thickness up to 1/2” stainless steel and carbon steel up to 1”. Small holes and etching do not require secondary operations, nor is edge cleanup needed in most cases.

Our laser center features automated loading/unloading, which allows quick removal of finished parts. If you require parts that fit together with precision that result in easier and quicker assembly, our laser is for you.

Features:

Cuts up to 1″ carbon Steel and 1/2″ Stainless Steel
High performance and a wide range of applications

Water Jet Cutting

Abrasive water jets are ideal for tough applications such as titanium, inconel, brass, composites, aluminum, glass, stone or any other steel, including stainless.

The hair-thin water jet can quickly cut almost any material including gaskets, foams, plastics and thin rubber. Mid-Plains’ water jet cutting system offers a cutting area capacity of 60” x 120” and material thicknesses exceeding 4 inches.

In addition, water jets cut with a narrow kerf, allowing parts to be tightly nested to maximize material usage. As there is absolutely no mechanical stress, heat distortion, or heat-affected zone, the waterjet cutting system results in a higher quality product.

For machining in high volumes, short runs or prototypes, water jet cutting is the most flexible cutting tool in the world.

Features: Diverse cutting materials: Copper, Aluminum, Rubber, Plastic, Granite, etc.

Cutting Capabilities: Up to 5″ Carbon Steel and 3″ Stainless Steel

Punching & Shearing

At Mid-Plains Industries we realize not all items are efficiently cut using a waterjet or laser. Our shearing capacity of up to 1/4” by 10 feet long in mild steel and 3/16” by 10 feet long in stainless allows us to quickly cut sheet metal to size.

With the added notching station complementing our shearing process, Mid-Plains can effectively move your parts into the next stage of fabrication.
