Laser cutting is used
for an increasing number of applications in sheet metal processing
and possesses
unique qualities. The high level of production flexibility and
the almost unlimited diversity of materials and shapes explain
its worldwide recognition as an indispensable basic technology.
High precision of the dimensions and minimum heat distortion of
the sheet parts are the two main advantages that combine to provide
first class cutting results. We can laser cut your mild steel sheet
up to 15mm thick and 3m x 1.5m in size
Laser cutting produces exact cuts in virtually any shape
and through materials that would destroy or be destroyed by contact
with cutting tools. Some materials are also very difficult
or impossible to cut by more traditional means.
Features and Advantages of Laser Cutting
Include:
• Flat sheet cutting
• Extremely sharp edge definition
• Ability to cut complex shapes with high repeatability
• Minimal distortion
• No variations due to tool wear
• No physical contact of tooling
• Alternative to cutting dies for low volume
production
• No cutting lubricants required
• No mechanical force on workpiece
• No tool wear
• Very fine cut width
• Narrow heat affected zone
• Low thermal input
