"

The 30kW Han’s laser has taken on all our heavy plate work—50mm and 60mm included—and it’s cutting in a quarter of the time of our old plasma tech.

Chapter 01 · The Partnership

A bottleneck on heavy plate.

Kate and Brad Marshall had a bottleneck. Old plasma technology was too slow for the heavy-duty demands of 50mm and 60mm plate. Throughput was capped. Larger contracts were out of reach.

Intermach delivered the power and control needed to process 50mm and 60mm plate efficiently, unlocking new capacity and larger contract opportunities.

Chapter 02 · The Intermach Advantage

A 30kW Han's. Three things changed.

30kW Power House

Ultra-high-power fiber changes the equation on thick plate. It's no longer about whether you can cut it — it's about how much you can process.

Speed Efficiency

Cutting at 4× plasma speed doesn't just save time — it unlocks capacity for larger, more profitable contracts.

Technical Transition

Instead of manually monitoring the laser as thick plate absorbs heat and alters cutting dynamics, Profile Tech utilizes Han’s automatic focal drift compensation to handle thermal shifts entirely in the background. The real payoff is a hands-off, highly optimized run across the full nest: faster piercing, narrower kerf, and precise part accuracy that dramatically cuts down on shop-floor rework.

Chapter 03 · The Result

A day's work, done in a shift.

A massive leap in productivity. What used to take a full day now finishes in a single shift. Brad and Kate's facility runs heavier jobs, on tighter timelines, at higher margins than before.
