\u201cTHE LASER INVESTMENT OPENED THE DOOR TO AN ENTIRELY NEW MARKET\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When GMF Service Tingsryd AB decided to modernize its cutting process, the objective was clear: better quality, higher precision, and a more stable workflow. The result exceeded expectations. With its new HSG G3015H 12 kW from LMI AB, the company has not only streamlined its own production \u2014 it has also opened the door to a growing subcontract laser cutting market and new customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AN ESTABLISHED INDUSTRIAL PARTNER BASED IN SM\u00c5LAND<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1997, GMF Service Tingsryd AB has been a reliable player in welding, forging, steel structures, and industrial services for more than two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With approximately 15\u201320 employees, its own workshop, and mobile service teams, GMF handles everything from large-scale constructions to custom-made components tailored to customer needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most customers are located in the surrounding region, often within the process and wood industries, but GMF also undertakes specialized assignments throughout Sweden and the rest of Europe. Flexibility and problem-solving expertise are hallmarks of the company, making it a natural partner for both small and large projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE NEED: BETTER QUALITY AND FASTER CUTTING PROCESSES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before the investment, GMF used an older plasma cutter, which resulted in both quality challenges and time losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had uneven cut edges, a lot of post-processing, and a lower production rate than we wanted,\u201d<\/em> says Mikael Kullman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer demands were increasing at the same time \u2014 particularly the need for higher precision. GMF realized they needed a solution that would deliver cleaner cuts, faster processing, and more consistent quality. The goal was also to reduce manual steps and create a workflow where settings and jobs could be managed more quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHOOSING THE SUPPLIER: \u201cLMI APPEARED AT EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When LMI AB made contact, GMF quickly recognized the opportunities offered by modern laser technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLMI seemed professional, knowledgeable, and had the right type of machines for our needs,\u201d<\/em> says Mikael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was actually perfect timing \u2014 they presented a solution that suited us immediately.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reviewing the alternatives, GMF chose the HSG G3015H 12 kW, a high-performance fiber laser that completely replaced the plasma cutter and delivered a dramatic improvement in quality and processing speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSTALLATION AND TRAINING \u2013 A SMOOTH PROCESS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The installation was carried out in close cooperation between GMF and LMI, and according to GMF, the overall process went very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only request was for additional in-depth operator training in the future \u2014 something the company sees as a next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe installation went really well, and going forward we would like more advanced training in the software to gain even greater control over the process and parameters,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

says operator Christer \u201cBille\u201d Eriksson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOtherwise, everything has worked very well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dialogue and support have been smooth, and GMF highlights LMI\u2019s fast response times and solution-oriented approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE RESULT: FASTER PRODUCTION, HIGHER QUALITY, AND NEW CUSTOMERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
