Modern Piping, Inc. is a large-scale fabrication company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Modern Piping has over 75 years of experience taking on projects requiring large volumes of exact pipe cuts, skid production, and custom pipefitting for construction projects.
"There's nobody in the region that fabricates like we do, so this was a big leap," said Jim Tedrow, Fabrication Shop Manager. "Before switching to the new WMS torch we would use one $3 grinding wheel for each pipe prep. Dross is no longer an issue. We do not have to touch it anymore for cleaning."
Increased Productivity:
One of the most significant productivity gains for Modern Piping was the clean cut and beveling realized with the Watts-Mueller W-242 CNC Machine.
In Figure 1 (below) slag is clearly seen on the piping using the typical plasma torch. Figure 2 shows the clean cut, beveled edge when the W-242 is used with the WMS® Victor torch.
