KM Tools (KMT) has invested in new laser cutting and forming equipment to enhance its bespoke machinery and engineering services.
The company says its integrated approach to each project means that equipment is delivered cost-effectively and in a timely manner. Group Engineering Director at KMT, Adrian Degg explained: "Design is an essential part of every project. Our expert engineering teams closely collaborate with customers to scope out application requirements, creating blueprints and CAD models for sign-off in specified formats. Virtually any machine design is possible when working together with a turnkey service provider like KMT."
With design complete, KMT's in-house fabrications facility quickly produces custom equipment frames and tooling. Its LVD PPEB320/30 press brake and LVD Phoenix FL-3015 6 kW fibre laser cutting machine can manufacture to the highest quality standards.
"Machines are more than just metal. A complete electromechanical approach means almost any system can be integrated into a machine design. This includes powertrains, hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics, controls, and instrumentation," said Adrian.
As well as creating machines, KMT’s refurbishment service can breathe new life into legacy equipment, extending its service life and improving efficiency and reliability, at a significantly decreased cost compared to a new machine purchase. After building and testing, KMT manages delivery and installation at the customer’s production facility. With reduced lead times and a complete in-house approach, it ensures swift and straightforward machine installation, minimising operational downtime.
KMT also supports the future reliability of equipment with round-the-clock maintenance support services. "Maintenance personnel can be made available to proactively service machines, reducing downtime, and ultimately ensure availability. This can even include stationing dedicated teams at production facilities," Adrian added.
KMT says that its comprehensive suite of design, fabrication, build, installation and maintenance services – supported by advanced laser cutting and press brake capabilities – ensure that no engineering project is too big or too complex.
