Laser...

Laser cutting machines use a high energy laser, in the region of 1000-3000 watts to melt, burn, or vaporise the cutting material. The beam of the laser is usually around 0.2mm and can cut to an extremely high accuracy.

There are generally 3 types of industrial lasers. These are flying optics lasers, hybrid or pivot beam lasers, and pulsated lasers.

Flying optics lasers move over a stationary cutting table in the X and Y dimensions, reducing cost and higher cutting speed limits.
Hybrid and pivot beam lasers generally have a table that moves in a single direction, with the head moving perpendicularly to the cutting table. This improves efficiency and has a reliable cut consistency.
Pulsated lasers provide a high intensity pulse of energy for a short amount of time. This reduces the heat buildup on the cutting material, but results in slower cutting speeds.

A few of the advantages of the laser cutting process include:
  • No contact with the cutting surface, eliminating wear on the cutting surface and contamination of the cutting surface.
  • High definition cut with almost no burr.
  • Can reproduce complex external features easily.
  • High working speed
