Saw Cutting Operations

• Bandsaws provide continuous motion to guide the blade during cutting and operate nearly twice as fast as other cutting methods, such as hacksaws. Operating in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, these powerful saws perform simple shapes and complex cuts.
• Cold saws may be operated by hand or be pneumatically or hydraulically operated. The machine can be pivoted to make angular cuts.
• Hacksaws are often used in cut-off operations and can be performed manually or with a power hacksaw.

Clips, angles, gusset plates, and braces are essential components of the metal construction process. Manufacturers often outsource these parts to a reliable steel fabricator. Utilizing the CNC angle lines from OMS, we can produce segments of angle and bar stock at a rapid speed and with no manual drilling. By providing structural steel fabrication and automated processing capabilities, OMS brings valuable fabrication efficiencies to our customers.

Our CNC angle lines are capable of punching and shearing angle or flat bar essential for metal construction components. Maintaining part accuracy is of paramount importance in the industries we serve. Through our multi-process capabilities designed to improve productivity and reduce scrap, we can ensure part to part integrity and improve overall quality.

• Carriage Bars

O’Neal Manufacturing Services is engaged in partnerships with multiple mill sources for special profiles.  This allows OMS to control our own logistics and offer JIT delivery for our customers.  Additionally, the steel profiles can be incorporated with other products into weldments.  Kitting and packaging programs can be included to save time and logistical expenses.

The Difference Between Hot Rolled Steel Profiles and Cold Drawn Steel Profiles

• Hot Rolling  – This process utilizes long bars heated to temperatures above 1.100 degrees Celsius, then deformed through roll stands. The special profile designs are tailored to customers’ specific needs, effectively eliminating several traditional manufacturing steps. This popular method of producing steel profiles is fast, cost-effective, and offers endless design options.
• Cold Drawing  – Room temperature, semi-finished wire rod is pulled through a series of dies in the cold drawing Precise geometric shapes are formed with tight dimensional tolerance and superior surface condition. Net or near net shapes are produced with virtually no material surplus, bringing the manufacturer all the precision and none of the waste.

Laser welding has grown in popularity because of the numerous ways it can produce tools critical to industrial and agricultural manufacturing. By providing a cleaner edge with improved perpendicularity than other forms of flame cutting, laser welding tackles difficult profiles and tight tolerances with speed and precision.  It also provides a cleaner edge with improved perpendicularity, a smaller kerf, and fewer heat-affected areas. This process is excellent for cutting carbon, aluminum alloys, and stainless-steel material in a variety of gauge thicknesses and plates.

Steps in the Laser Welding Process

Laser welding generates a highly concentrated beam of light to produce a metal-to-metal weld with no filler material needed. The beam of light is amplified and directed on the material seams until they reach a melting point that fuses the two surfaces together. Gas, solid-state, and fiber are the most common types of laser welding technologies.  Laser welding automation results in quality, repeatability, and a high level of productivity. The laser welding process is excellent for cutting carbon steel, low alloy steel, aluminum, and stainless steel materials.
