...work nearly around the clock at this stainless-steel service center cutting plate to 8 in. thick. Committed to providing one- to two-day turnaround for its array of customers, the center employs three waterjet-cutting machines, all with the same controller to optimize scheduling flexibility. On the outside looking in, Metals Services Co. appears like any other steel-service center, ready to load plate, bar and other products onto a truck for delivery to local fabricators. But from the inside looking out, this is not the typical service center. While others may offer a taste of value-added services, Metals Services lays out the full buffet, offering an array of processing capabilities including plasma, laser and waterjet cutting, bar and plate sawing, welding, shearing, bar edging, polishing and even pre-assembly kits. Its most recent addition is a 3-kW fiber-laser cutting machine, and a 250-ton 12-ft. press brake will make its way to the Addison, IL, shop later in 2017.
