New Source Corporation’s custom-built Tsune saw allows us to offer high-quality, cut-to-size aerospace aluminum extrusions. Our TK5M-90GL was designed specifically for cutting non-ferrous materials to meet the unique specifications of our end users so that we can provide ready-to-use materials that minimize waste and maximize efficiency.
Our automated computer numerical control (CNC) saw can cut materials with a nearly machined finish with high precision at remarkable speeds and in various sizes. It can cut tubing up to a 3.57-inch diameter, for example. New Source continues to maintain strong partnerships to faicilitate larger cuts of material through our through our Managed Processing Capabilities.
In keeping with New Source Corporation’s commitment to long-term partnerships and learning what our customers need, the saw was customized based on the sizes of the materials that our customers use and the precision cuts they need. This customization will allow us to fulfill their needs efficiently and effectively. It has also been implemented in accordance with all applicable certifications and partners in keeping with our quality commitment.
Save time and money
When combined with New Source Corporation’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) service, the Tsune saw supports our customers through more efficient supply chains. Instead of having to buy materials in full, 12-foot industry standard lengths and cut in-house, you can receive the finished sizes you need—and New Source Corporation will package and ship your material exactly when you need it from one of our bi-coastal warehouses.
You can put your precision-cut material right on your assembly line and just start working on your product without wasting material or creating scrap. No extra time for manufacturing is required, saving our customers time and money.
Your costs are reduced because our cutting and processing expenses are already factored in, and we can better split our material types between different customers without having to offer full-piece minimums. We can also offer better prices because the saw is self-feeding, meaning that we do not need to staff it with a machine operator at all times. New Source Corporation passes these savings to our customers.
Also, by automating part of the cutting process, our team can allocate more time and resources to hands-on projects that require specialized expertise, further improving overall customer support. Having the saw built specifically for aluminum extrusions and tubing, such as building a larger outfeeder table than standard, increases the benefits for customers as well.
Improve safety and quality
Our precision-cutting capabilities reflect our investment in our customers’ growth. When they share their projections with us, we can help them better utilize their material.
We also maximize the benefits for customers by making work safer for their employees. Instead of supplying a minimum of 144 inches of material to machine shops that don’t necessarily have the number of personnel or the capabilities that we do, we can provide precision-cut pieces that meet customers’ exact requirements.
You can then machine directly from there without accepting the 144-inch length, measuring, cutting to size, measuring again, and repeating as needed. You also get the high quality that you expect from New Source Corporation.
With our custom-built, larger-than-typical outfeed table, the material does not get damaged as it’s cut because it does not drop. It is taken out by a conveyor belt instead.
