When it comes to metal cutting, laser technology offers unmatched precision and high reliability.
This method involves using a laser to heat the metal to its vaporization point, allowing for precise cutting of metal sheets. The laser’s power is adjusted according to the thickness of the metal to be processed, ensuring optimal results.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
Experts in laser cutting of metal sheets use state-of-the-art equipment. The laser is a highly versatile tool that can be used to cut a wide range of materials.
Beyond speed and precision, laser cutting offers numerous advantages for metal sheet processing, including:
- Achieving unmatched quality and efficiency in the fabrication of thin metal sheets;
- Manufacturing versatility with an almost unlimited variety of materials and shapes;
- Minimal distortion of the workpiece despite the high heat generated by the laser;
- Capability for engraving and marking;
- The ability to create very fine notches, allowing for highly precise contours and holes.
How Metal Laser Cutting Works
Technically speaking, laser cutting is a thermal separation process. The laser beam heats the metal surface until it vaporizes. Once the laser fully penetrates the metal sheet, it begins the cutting process. The laser beam then follows the selected cutting path until the material is completely separated.
It is common to use gases such as argon, CO2, or nitrogen to enhance the laser’s efficiency. These gases help prevent flame formation and remove debris from the cutting area.
Metal Cutting Services
It’s easy to understand why many industrial sectors rely on companies specializing in laser cutting of metal sheets. However, laser cutting is not exclusively reserved for industrial applications.
This precision process is applicable to various fields, including:
- Electronics
- Medical industry
- Transportations
- High-end product manufacturing
- Advanced technology sectors
- Robotics
- And many others
Within the industrial sector, laser cutting is widely used for precision machining of mechanical parts and metal transformation. The automotive, naval, and railway industries, in particular, make extensive use of this technology.
