Laser metal cutting

A metalworking technology based on the use of a concentrated high-power light beam. It provides exact cutting of metal with minimal deviations and smooth edges.

Laser metal cutting

How it works

The laser beam is focused on the metal surface using a lens. The point where the beam hits heats up to the melting or evaporation temperature. At the same time, gas (e.g., nitrogen or oxygen) is supplied to the cutting site. It removes molten metal and protects the cutting area from oxidation.

Suitable for various metals, for example:

  • rough (carbon) steel;
  • stainless steel
  • aluminum and aluminum alloys
How it works

Advantages of laser cutting

  • high precision (the laser beam cuts the material with an accuracy of 0.1 mm);
  • minimal material loss (narrow cut (about 0.2 mm) reduces metal consumption);
  • no mechanical impact (the laser does not deform the workpiece; it is essential for thin sheets).
