Debut of Laser Cutting Machinery Cuts Materials and Time at Fedtech
 August 14, 2008 - SAINT PAUL, MINN. – Minnesota’s favorite job shop is at it again, this time bigger and better than ever. When we last spoke with Fedtech, they had just installed one of Bystronic’s thoroughbreds of machines, the Byspeed 3015. Now they are at it again, as an even more impressive piece of machinery is making its way to Fedtech’s production floor.
Coming this fall to Fedtech (mid-September), will be Bystronic’s Bystar 4020, one of the most innovative, noteworthy pieces of laser cutting equipment in the industry. This remarkable system reaches cutting speeds of 1,969 inches per minute and can hold cutting tolerances of +/- .0012.
The Bystar 4020 cutting table can also hold approximately 3500 pounds of material on its 157”x 79” work envelope, leaving limitations a forgotten memory. In addition, the new laser cutting machinery will be coupled with a shuttle table system, and will also be equipped with Bystronic’s BytransCross material automation. The shuttle table system enables smooth production with the automated cutting tables that alternate finished parts with raw material to keep the process moving quick and efficiently.
This new laser cutting system not only cuts parts, but cuts time as well, as the automation process certainly speeds up production, allowing for quicker turnaround on projects and an overall smoother manufacturing system. The new laser brings the capability to process even more sheet metal than ever before at Fedtech.
The new addition will definitely make quite a debut on Fedtech’s production floor, and there’s no question that customers will definitely be delighted to see their waiting times cut down as well.

Fedtech’s Laser Cutting Capabilities Makes Them Beam  SAINT PAUL, MINN. – Local job shop, Fedtech Inc., has been proud to serve their customer base with industrial laser cutting in the past, and they are now taking that to a whole new level. Assembled not too long ago, was a brand new Bystronic Byspeed 3015, one of the finest in laser cutting machinery.
The new Byspeed laser achieves cutting tolerances of plus/minus .005”, with a 120” x 60” work envelope, coupled with a 4400 Watt resonator to increase power efficiency and reduce electrical usage during processing. This investment has been crucial for Fedtech because it allows them to be more productive than ever before. Not only this, but the enhanced technology does wonders on the production floor aiding the manufacturing of quality products with a quick turnaround.
 Laser cutting is typically used to process flat materials. The Byspeed laser can process these materials with power from 2.8 up to 4.4 kW, which gives Fedtech the capability to cut directly through the many different types of material with greater accuracy and precision than traditional laser cutting systems.
Another feature included on the Byspeed is its closed machine compartment which is more environmentally friendly. The closed compartment helps to reduce emissions that are otherwise let off with conventional open laser machinery. Outside of the closed compartment is the automatic table loader, which includes high-powered vacuum suction lifting that carries materials from a stack of inventory over the cutting table. This option gives the advantage of being able to safely load the cutting table quickly and without hassle or chaos.
Fedtech, Inc. is a well-known job shop located in Mounds View, MN. They specialize in laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and many different in-house services including welding, drilling, machining, forming, assembly and more.

Fedtech Releases Informational Manufacturing Podcast
July 21, 2008 - SAINT PAUL, MINN. – Local job shop, Fedtech Inc., has been a trusted source for waterjet and laser cutting services, along with many other in-house services, for over 12 years now. Because of this, they have decided to put this experience to good use by producing an educational manufacturing podcast, available to anyone to listen to, for free.
 “The goal of our podcast is to educate an interested audience about the manufacturing industry, and of course further demonstrate to them that we know what we’re doing.” Dave Fox, president of Fedtech, explains. “It’s a complicated process to understand, so it’s always nice to have another form of information available.”
The podcast episodes cover detailed information about waterjet cutting (abrasive and water-only), laser metal cutting, welding, drilling, forming, deburring, finishing, assembly, and many more.
For those who are interested in learning about these processes and more, you can visit the podcast section of Fedtech’s website, www.fedtech.com. For more information about Fedtech’s company, you may visit their website or call a Fedtech representative at 763-784-4600.
Fedtech Steps Up With a Valuable New Addition
June 09, 2008 – SAINT PAUL, MINN. – A recent development at Fedtech, Inc. has turned tremendous tasks into everyday projects. Their latest purchase was not only a brand new system in waterjet machinery, but a massive one at that.
This large addition contributes much to production as it has a cutting envelope of 156” x 360”, allowing for multiple large sheets of material to be loaded and cut all at the same time. Not only that, but it then creates impressive results by delivering cutting accuracies of plus/minus .010”.
The machinery is also equipped with Accustream’s newest intensifier pump (the 60150 HP) which allows for continuous cutting pressures of up to 60,000 psi. This in return, supplies ultra-high pressured water to more heads, enabling more work to be done in less time. All this growth within the company gives Fedtech reason to anticipate much faster turn-around rates, and they are excited for the work ahead of them with the new waterjet machinery.
