EXCELLENCE IN PIPE & STRUCTURAL FABRICATION
O'Cain Inc. is an industrial fabrication company that has been providing top-notch services, including pipe and structural steel fabrication, CNC plate rolling, sandblasting, painting, and transportation of finished components since 1962. The facility is located in Mulberry, Florida, USA. Their commitment to excellence has earned them a stellar reputation among companies along the East Coast and worldwide.
President of O'Cain, David O'Cain, has more than 24 years of fabrication experience, and his passion for the industry began at a young age. Starting at 15 years old, he dedicated his summers to cutting pipe for various jobs. David pursued his passion further by studying Engineering at Polk State College before returning to the family business. His expertise and commitment have been instrumental in taking O'Cain into the realm of automated fabrication.
6-AXIS MACHINE FOR SADDLE JOINTS, MITRES AND COMPLICATED CUTS
As O'Cain's business expanded, they faced the need for increased capacity and the ability to handle longer and larger pipes while maintaining their high standards of quality. David O'Cain recognized the importance of investing in a cutting-edge solution to tackle complex fabrication jobs efficiently. After careful consideration, they chose to acquire a MO Classic pipe processing machine with a 60 ft bed. This 6-axis machine proved to be a game-changer, allowing O'Cain to effortlessly and automatically create saddle joints, mitres, and other intricate cuts. The results were astounding.
With the machine, O'Cain experienced significant improvements in their production process. David O'Cain: "We now make faster cuts with less prep work and labor in upfit. This gives us more time for welding. We immediately saw an amazing increase in production and ROI." O'Cain's dedication to delivering outstanding results is evident in the remarkable boost they observed in their production levels.
30 TO 35% MANUAL LABOR SAVINGS
One remarkable project that showcases the machine's capabilities is O'Cain's partnership with a mining company. O'Cain was tasked with delivering an extensive 57,000 feet of 20" pipe. The challenge lay in cutting, beveling, and welding these pipes into 100 ft sections, with flanges welded on both ends.
To streamline the process, the company put the full pipe inventory into a spreadsheet and imported it into the software to have nested cuts configured. The software revealed a staggering total of 1,710 cuts, accurately indicating pipe numbers and specified lengths. David O'Cain states: "The machine will cut and bevel each joint in under a minute. No grinding will be needed. This machine cuts a beautiful bevel, ready to weld. Having a CNC machine that can cut and bevel so quickly, with such clean cuts, saves us 30 to 35% in man-hour labor compared to the older machine we used for several years."
The efficiency gained allowed them to ship pipe to this mining company every few days, giving them a competitive edge in terms of speed, accuracy, and price. O'Cain's customers recognize and appreciate their ability to complete projects rapidly and flawlessly.
UNPARALLELD PRECISION AND COMPETITIVE EDGE
In conclusion, O'Cain Inc.'s has revolutionized their fabrication capabilities, allowing them to handle complex cuts with ease and remarkable efficiency. Their investment in the machine has propelled their productivity, reduced labor costs, and given them a competitive advantage in the market. O'Cain's commitment to excellence and their ability to deliver exceptional results make them the go-to choice for industrial fabrication needs.
