MBI Industrial Manufacturing Group is pleased to announce a strategic technology investment at our partner facility, Melnik Custom Metal Fabrication. The acquisition of the Amada ENSIS 3015 AJ (6kW) Fiber Laser significantly expands our group’s capacity for high-speed precision cutting and complex metal fabrication.
As a core manufacturing hub within the MBI Industrial Manufacturing Group, this strategic investment allows us to push the boundaries of high-speed precision cutting. For our customers, this means we can now handle more complex geometries and heavier gauges with the same Canadian-made quality you’ve come to expect.
Advanced 6kW Fiber Technology
The ENSIS 3015 AJ is engineered to handle the full spectrum of industrial fabrication needs, from intricate prototypes to heavy-duty production runs.
-
Variable Beam Control: Amada’s proprietary ENSIS technology automatically adjusts the laser beam’s diameter and mode based on the material. This allows for continuous processing of thin-to-thick materials without the downtime of manual lens changes or hardware setups.
-
Throughput & Acceleration: Featuring 1.4g acceleration across the entire work area, the system minimizes “cut-to-cut” transition times. This high-speed motion translates directly into increased parts-per-hour and faster project turnarounds.
-
Material Versatility: The 6kW resonator provides the power necessary for clean, high-precision cuts in stainless steel and aluminum (up to 1″ thick), while maintaining the stability required for copper, brass, and titanium.
Operational Advantages for MBI Clients
This investment strengthens our Supplier Intelligence System, ensuring that when a project is matched to Melnik Metals, it is executed using some of the most advanced fiber laser technology in North America.
-
Reduced Lead Times: Automatic beam adjustment allows us to run multi-thickness nests without interruption, accelerating the manufacturing cycle.
-
Superior Edge Quality: The precision of the 6kW fiber engine delivers cleaner edges on heavy plate, reducing the need for secondary deburring and finishing operations.
-
Sustainable Production: Fiber laser technology is significantly more energy-efficient than traditional CO2 systems, aligning with MBI’s commitment to sustainable, cost-effective manufacturing.
