Laser Cutting
LASER CUTTING
Precise, clean cutting and often does not require further processing. Ideal for carbon and stainless steel sheet metal, and intricate patterns. A fast, repeatable and highly accurate process which is ideal for high production runs. Not recommended for conductive materials like copper.
- No physical contact with work piece
- Small heat affected zone (less than plasma)
- Minimal Material Warping
- Precision Cutting
- Complex Contours
- Intricate shapes
- Quiet
- Clean Edges
- Narrow Kerf
- Part Nesting
- No Tool Wear
Technology
A computer controlled high power laser beam is focused on the workpiece and the resulting heat energy melts or vaporizes the material. Any resulting molten material is blown away by pressurized gas during the cutting process creating a high quality edge.
