Heat Exchanger Fabrication

Tube sheets, baffles and nozzle penetrations — cut to fit, ready to weld.

Low-pressure shell-and-tube components fabricated on laser — precise hole patterns, clean nozzle cuts, and shells that fit the first time.

Heat exchangers live and die on hole-pattern accuracy. IMWX cuts tube sheets, baffles and support plates on the 12kW fiber sheet laser — hundreds of holes on exact centers, every plate identical — and cuts shells, nozzles and penetrations on the tube and large-diameter lasers. Built for the industrial OEMs and process-equipment manufacturers who need repeatable, dimensionally accurate thermal components without secondary drilling or cleanup.

Why IMWX

Built for the build schedule.

Hole-pattern precision — laser-cut tube sheets on exact centers, no drilling drift, plate-to-plate identical.

Nozzle & penetration cutting in-house — shells and ports cut on the tube / large-diameter laser.

Repeatable across runs — same dimensions from first article through production.
