VIDEO: A Deep Dive Into EMI with The Fabricator

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 helping shops move beyond traditional layout and cutting methods.

The conversation highlights how modern systems handle multiple material profiles, enable tab-and-slot construction, and eliminate much of the manual math involved in tube fabrication. For miscellaneous metals, agricultural, and OEM fabricators, these capabilities translate into improved efficiency, repeatability, and scalability. What was once a niche capability is now an effective entry point into automation for growing shops. Watch the video below to hear the full discussion:
