Customer: Coulson Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. — family-owned HVAC, est. 1990, Alliston, Ontario
Sector: HVAC fabrication
Machine: ML 3015 E fiber laser, 1500 W
Materials: steel, stainless, galvanized, aluminum
The problem
Quality HVAC systems live and die on the sheet metal inside them, and Coulson’s plasma-based process had hit its ceiling on the light-gauge precision work — edge quality, speed, and the handling that both demand.
The result
- Component quality: “The machine’s high-precision laser head ensures accurate cuts, resulting in superior-quality components that contribute to the overall efficiency and reliability of HVAC systems.”
- Turnaround: reduced cycle times on the light sheet work that dominates HVAC fabrication.
- Operating cost: less material waste, less maintenance than the process it replaced.
- Versatility: one machine across steel, stainless, galvanized and aluminum.
Why it worked
A 1500 W fiber laser sits exactly where HVAC fabrication lives: fast and clean on light gauge, with air-cutting keeping operating cost down and nitrogen available when stainless demands it. A family shop does not carry a laser technician on staff — installation, training and ongoing support came from our own field team, and stayed available after the invoice.
