Laser Cutting Technology and Advantages

Technology

The workpiece is cut by a computer controlled high power laser beam. The cutting action is created by heat energy from the laser as it melts or vaporizes the material. Any residual molten material is then blown away by pressurized gas, leaving behind a high quality edge.

Advantages

Laser cutting can be utilized with virtually any material. Even workpieces that are surface coated result in precise, clean cuts that often do not require any further processing. Laser cutting is ideal for carbon steel, stainless steel and sheet metal. This fast, repeatable and highly accurate process allows for high production runs.
