The popularity of light industrial automated cutting systems continues to increase. Small fabrication shops are stepping up from manual to automated cutting so they can cut repeatable 2D shapes, increase part quality, combat labor gaps, reduce production timelines, and control budgets. Advances in cutting system technology are enabling these shops to obtain reliable and accurate two-axis, single-gas systems for production cutting of metal up to 1 in. thick for approximately $7500 to $40,000 (depending on table size..
