CNC Metal Fabrication Equipment for Job Shops

Cut, machine, bend, weld, and finish parts in-house. Langmuir Systems builds CNC fiber lasers, plasma tables, mills, press brakes, and fixture tables for job shops, agricultural repair businesses and custom metalwork companies that want to stop outsourcing and take on more work.

Xr Garage

Bring Outsourced Work In-House

Every job you send out for cutting, bending, or machining adds days to your lead time and cuts into your margin. With your own CNC equipment, you quote faster, control quality, and keep the profit.

Start with one machine, then add bending, milling and finishing as your work grows. Plan your layout with our Interactive Shop Planner.

Parts Job Shops Make In-House

These are the jobs fabrication and repair shops bring in-house most often, and the machines we'd use for each.

Base and Mounting Plates

Steel plate up to 1" thick. Cut on the CrossFire XR, then drill and machine holes on MR-1.

See CrossFire XR →

Gussets and Brackets

Cut in batches on the CrossFire XR or Apollo 8, bend on Titan 25T, and weld on ArcFlat.

See Titan 25T →

Ag Equipment Repair Parts

Wear plates, shields, hinges and replacement brackets. Cut on the CrossFire XR and bend on Titan 25T to get equipment running again fast.

See CrossFire XR →

Enclosures and Panels

Thin steel, stainless and aluminum. Cut clean edges and small holes on Apollo 8, then bend on Titan 25T.

See Apollo 8 →

Signs and Architectural Metal

Signs, screens and decorative panels. Cut fine detail on Apollo 8 or heavier plate on the CrossFire XR, then powder coat in Vulcan 16.

See Vulcan 16 →

Fixtures and Jigs

Machine fixture plates and jigs on MR-1, then build weld fixtures on ArcFlat.

See MR-1 →

Weldments and Frames

Cut parts on the CrossFire XR, then fixture and weld them on ArcFlat so frames come out square.

See ArcFlat →

Short Runs and Prototypes

Nest parts on a full sheet, cut them in one run, and quote the small jobs other shops turn down.

Plasma or Fiber Laser for a Job Shop?

Choose CNC plasma for plate, structural parts and repair work up to 1" thick. It's the lowest-cost way to cut heavy steel. Choose a fiber laser for sheet metal parts that need clean edges, small holes and little or no finishing. Many job shops run both.

Metal Fabrication FAQ

What equipment does a small metal fabrication shop need?

Most job shops need four capabilities: cutting (a CNC plasma table or fiber laser), bending (a press brake), welding and fixturing (a fixture table), and finishing. Many also add a CNC mill for plates, bushings and fixtures. Langmuir Systems makes machines for all of them.

Should a job shop buy a CNC plasma table or a fiber laser?

Plasma cuts plate up to 1" thick for the lowest cost and suits structural, repair and heavy fabrication work. A fiber laser cuts sheet metal faster, with cleaner edges and smaller holes, so it suits finished sheet metal parts. Many shops start with plasma and add a laser as sheet metal work grows.

Can the CrossFire XR cut full 4' x 8' sheets?

Yes. The CrossFire XR has a 48" x 96" cutting area, a 750 lb frame that supports full 1" steel sheets, and 1/2" ball screws for accuracy across the whole bed.

Is Langmuir equipment a good fit for agricultural repair shops?

Yes. Repair shops use the CrossFire XR to cut wear plates, shields and replacement brackets, the Titan 25T to bend them, and ArcFlat to fixture and weld repairs. Making parts in-house means less downtime waiting on suppliers.

Can these machines handle production runs?

Yes. The CrossFire XR and Apollo 8 cut full nested sheets in one run, and the Titan 25T's optional 2-axis CNC backgauge lets you program a part once and repeat it for every part in the run.

Can a job shop finance new equipment?

Yes. Langmuir Systems offers financing so you can spread the cost of your equipment. See our financing page for current options.
