🤔 Rethinking sheet metal cutting: slats vs. slatless systems
Traditional slat tables require constant maintenance, slag cleanup, and manual part handling - all eating into throughput, but there's a better way.
In this month's cover story of The Fabricator, TruPMatic and TruLaser Center product managers share why slatless alternatives are gaining traction:
✅ Brush tables for reliable support
✅ Automated part removal, no tip-ups
✅ Centralized slag collection
✅ Perfect for high-mix, lights-out production
The key takeaway? Stop measuring just cut speed. Instead, focus on total throughput from raw sheet to finished parts ready to ship. 💡
