Precision laser cutting at production speed.
In-house laser cutting for sheet, plate, and structural components—fast, accurate, and connected to fabrication on the same floor.
Laser cutting is where a lot of programs start. When it's in-house, the feedback loop between cutting, forming, and fabrication is immediate. Adjustments happen in hours, not days. That's what tight tolerances and tighter timelines actually require.
Advantages
What Morrison's laser cutting handles
Materials
Morrison cuts aluminum, hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, stainless steel, and other metals commonly used in fabricated packaging and structural components—with material selection driven by the part, the application, and the production requirements it has to meet.
Thickness Range
Morrison's laser cutting capabilities cover a full range of material thicknesses—from 16 gauge and 15 gauge sheet up through 11 gauge, 1/4 inch stainless, 5/8 inch, and 1 inch plate—handling everything from light fabricated components to heavy structural work in a single operation.
Tolerances
Morrison holds tolerances to ±0.005 inch, with tighter tolerances available based on part requirements. If your application demands a specific tolerance, that becomes part of the spec
Volume
Morrison's laser cutting operation runs up to 400 to 500 sheets per week—enough capacity to support high-volume production programs without becoming a bottleneck in your supply chain.
Why in-house cutting changes the program
When laser cutting and fabrication are in the same facility, the distance between a design decision and a cut part is measured in steps—not in days waiting for a subcontractor to respond. Engineering can verify a flat pattern, approve it, and have physical parts for fit testing in the same day. That responsiveness is what compressed timelines actually require.
