These machines with the latest laser technology and split cabin production cells enable a cost effective and repeatable process, which is now becoming the industry standard for the production of body and white interior panels where high strength, low weight panels are required.

NSI is instrumental in being one of the first sub-contract companies to provide parts to OEM’s based on this process.

NSI is a market leader in the supply of laser cut complex formed sections. NSI has been supplying the yellow goods industry with laser cut formed sections for many years and we have acquired extensive knowledge in being able to process formed sections to a high degree of accuracy.

Quality is built into everything we do at NSI. We provide a full inspection service using the latest Faro arm technology. This enables us to provide our customers with 1st off inspection reports to trend analysis for process repeatability and full PPAP submission documentation to meet the project requirements.

As with our flatbed machines our 5-axis machines are also linked to our state of the art production control system.

We can monitor our production orders and make sure we meet the delivery requirements of our customers.

This ability means our delivery performance can be measured to ensure we consistently meet the high standards of excellence our customers demand. Our fleet of vehicles can deliver and collect your products as and when required, anywhere in the UK.

5-Axis Laser Cutting

Tube Laser CuttingNSI Group was the first in the UK to use the Trumpf Tubematic laser machine for specialising in the process of cutting round, oval, square and rectangular tubes.

The machine is capable of taking random lengths of raw material up to 6.5 metres in length and then laser processing to your requirements.

The CNC controlled machine even works out the optimal utilisation of the material based on the size of parts required for processing, saving money and offering the most cost effective solution per length of material.

From mild steel up to 5mm thick to stainless steel and aluminium, this machine has the capability of cutting various complex shapes, cut-outs and sizes.

Using the advanced TruTops tube software we can create programs for complex parts easily and also make mitre cuts that once processed, the part can be manipulated into the correct angle ready for welding, not only improving the accuracy but also saving time and money.

The machine with its auto loading cell can process 4 tonnes of raw material at a time and is ideal for high volume mass production offering a high degree of accuracy.

With our lean manufacturing approach, high speed cutting and efficient production techniques we can offer our customers a low cost option to this specialised process.

The machine is also at home producing bespoke parts for architectural projects and product development enabling rapid processing from design to manufacture.

As part of our culture of continual investment in the latest technology, the NSI group have purchased the latest Faro arm inspection equipment.

Quality

This gives us the ability to provide inspection reports as stand alone items or part of a full PPAP submission.

From simple folded brackets to complex metal assemblies to 5-axis body sides, this equipment gives us the ability to quickly and accurately measure parts to nominal and verify our processes before batch production starts.

The equipment includes a laser scanner which enables us to create three dimensional surfaces from master samples, “reverse engineering”. This can then be used to laser cut or fabricate new parts which are a replica of the master sample provided.

From trend analysis over periods of time to process repeatability, this versatile and accurate equipment enables NSI to verify the quality of our manufactured products to our customers, which is an important part of our ongoing philosophy of complete customer satisfaction.

Being portable we are also able to take the equipment straight to the area where 1st off parts are being produced within our facility if required.
