Configure Your ArcFlat
Start with the 4, 5, or 6 block configurations for larger weldments, frames, and fixtures.
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.
These are the jobs fabrication and repair shops bring in-house most often, and the machines we'd use for each.
Steel plate up to 1" thick. Cut on the CrossFire XR, then drill and machine holes on MR-1.
Cut in batches on the CrossFire XR or Apollo 8, bend on Titan 25T, and weld on ArcFlat.
Wear plates, shields, hinges and replacement brackets. Cut on the CrossFire XR and bend on Titan 25T to get equipment running again fast.
Thin steel, stainless and aluminum. Cut clean edges and small holes on Apollo 8, then bend on Titan 25T.
Signs, screens and decorative panels. Cut fine detail on Apollo 8 or heavier plate on the CrossFire XR, then powder coat in Vulcan 16.
Machine fixture plates and jigs on MR-1, then build weld fixtures on ArcFlat.
Cut parts on the CrossFire XR, then fixture and weld them on ArcFlat so frames come out square.
Nest parts on a full sheet, cut them in one run, and quote the small jobs other shops turn down.

Cut production sheet metal parts with clean edges, small holes and tight tolerances. The fully enclosed 4' x 8' Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser loads from either side, so it fits shops where a standard laser won't. Starting at $22,995.
Cut full 4' x 8' sheets of steel up to 1" thick for base plates, gussets, brackets, and repair parts. Ball screws, included torch height control and 400 IPM speeds keep cut quality consistent on long production runs. Starting at $6,995.
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.

Machine fixture plates, mounting plates, bushings and replacement parts in steel, stainless and aluminum. MR-1 removes up to 30 pounds of steel per hour, holds tight tolerances, and starts at $5,195.
Bend brackets, channels, shields, and enclosures at the same angle every time, so every part in a run matches. Titan 25T gives you 25 tons of force, a 33" bend width and conversational programming on the built-in touchscreen. Starting at $4,995.
Fixture weldments, frames, and repair work square and flat, then reuse the setup for the next job. Each 2' x 3' cast iron ArcFlat Weld Table block has 336 fixture holes and machined surfaces, and blocks bolt together into larger tables. Starting at $775 per block.
Start with the 4, 5, or 6 block configurations for larger weldments, frames, and fixtures.
Powder coat brackets, panels, signs, and small parts in-house instead of sending them out. The 16 cubic foot Vulcan 16 heats evenly and runs on CureControl software. Starting at $1,499.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Langmuir Systems offers financing so you can spread the cost of your equipment. See our financing page for current options.
