A new era in steel fabrication: Launceston welcomes the Kinetic 5000
12 March 2025
Steel fabrication in Tasmania has taken a giant leap forward with the arrival of InfraBuild’s Kinetic 5000 plate processing machine at our Launceston Steel Centre. To mark the occasion, we hosted a launch event that brought together customers, industry leaders, and special guests—including local MP Michael Ferguson—who all witnessed firsthand the machine’s game-changing capabilities.
With over 30 customers in attendance, the day was a fantastic opportunity to showcase how the Kinetic 5000 will revolutionise steel processing in Tasmania.

The future of steel processing in Tasmania
The Kinetic 5000 isn’t just a machine—it’s a new benchmark in steel fabrication technology. Designed for precision, efficiency, and cost savings, it allows Tasmanian businesses to take on complex projects that may have previously been too challenging or labour-intensive.
The advanced dry cutting table and integrated drilling and machining technology mean customers can expect:
• Unrivalled precision – Achieve clean, accurate cuts with minimal heat distortion.
• Faster turnaround times – High-speed cutting ensures quicker order fulfilment.
• Improved consistency – Automated cutting minimises human error for repeatable, high-quality results.
• Cost savings – Reduce material waste and minimise the need for post-cutting processes.
What can the Kinetic 5000 do?
With an impressive range of capabilities, the Kinetic 5000 is designed to handle even the most demanding steel processing needs.
- Processing capabilities: HD Plasma Cutting, Oxy Profiling, Drilling, Tapping, Complex Bevelling, Threading, Milling, Part Marking, Scribing, Counter Sinking and Counter Boring, and Etching.
- Specifications: Can cut up to 200mm thick plate, handle plate sizes up to 3400mm x 15000mm, and drill holes up to 100mm in diameter.
- Superior edge quality: Produces smooth, ready-to-weld edges for a seamless assembly process.
