The Lockformer® Vulcan® Fiber Laser is the next evolution in cutting systems from Lockformer. Using over 30 years of sheet metal cutting experience, we’ve designed the Lockformer Vulcan Fiber Laser to meet the specific needs of sheet metal fabricators to help take your operation to the next level. Faster, more precise cutting, better quality parts, coil feeding capability, quicker access to cut parts and many more features all designed to improve the productivity and profitability of your fittings operation while setting the standard for safety (accession number and coveted Class 1 safety rating from the Food and Drug Administration).
The Lockformer® VulcanPlus® Plasma Cutting System is the benchmark in plasma cutting systems. Loaded with features for unmatched accuracy and precision, this system also features the fastest cutting, positioning, and traversing times in the industry. Faster, more precise cutting, better quality parts, coil feeding capability, and many more features all designed to improve the productivity and profitability of your fittings operation. All with a simplified operation which minimizes downtime, troubleshooting, and training time and cartridge data that allows you to track performance and analyze usage patterns.
The Lockformer® Vulcan® 1600 Water Jet Cutting System automates the slow, costly, and inexact manual process of cutting insulation to maximize quality and efficiency. The machine will cut fiberglass or foam insulation as well as gasket rubber and many other types of insulation products up to 4” thickness at a maximum positioning speed of 2,000 in/min. — allowing you to fabricate insulation fittings for about 1/10 of what it costs to buy them or cut them by hand. And the optimized cut pattern from the software and combined with the unmatched precision of the Waterjet allows you to cut right to the edge of a previous cut resulting in maximized material use and a zero scrap factor.
Since 1938, Lockformer has been the most recognized name in the sheet metal machinery industry — leading the world in the production of HVAC duct and fittings fabrication equipment solutions including insulation cutting equipment, metal cutting systems, rectangular, round, and oval ductwork roll forming equipment, and HVAC CAD to CAM software Looking to improve the productivity and profitability of your HVAC duct and fittings fabrication operation?
