We’re excited to be heading to FABTECH 2026, one of the manufacturing industry’s premier events! If you’re attending the show this year, be sure to stop by the EMI booth! We’d love to connect, talk about your next project, and show you how we can help. We’ll have our CNC...

Many fabricators process metal that’s rusty, dirty, and pitted—whether it’s from buying secondary mill material, which is often delivered corroded, or whether it’s material that’s rusted from sitting in the yard after delivery. Even sandblasting material to clean it up may not be a solution when shops don’t have air...

In today’s manufacturing environment, rising tariffs, overseas shipping delays, and supply chain disruptions can create costly setbacks for fabrication shops. That’s why more companies are turning to USA-made equipment for greater reliability, faster support, and better long-term value. Choosing a domestic manufacturing partner can also provide greater confidence, clearer communication,...

For a CNC tube plasma cutting machine to deliver ease of use, efficiency, and enhanced fabrication capabilities, it needs not only robust, dependable physical construction but also versatile, user-friendly software that saves time, reduces manual labor, and ensures effective material handling. While all automated systems come with software designed to...

Fabrication shops have a lot to consider when choosing the tube cutting technology and equipment that will enable them to achieve their productivity and profitability goals. Efficiency, quality, upfront costs, ongoing maintenance, and return on investment all matter. CNC tube plasma cutting machines and tube laser cutting machines both have...

Tube plasma cutting has evolved into a practical, accessible automation solution for modern fabrication shops. As production demands increase and experienced fabricators retire, many companies are looking for smarter ways to improve consistency and reduce manual processes. In this interview, EMI’s Maxwell Keeler discusses how today’s tube plasma systems are...
