Introduction to Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a modern sheet metal processing technology that uses a concentrated laser beam to precisely cut shapes from metal. It is one of the most accurate methods available in the industry.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
Laser cutting offers several advantages:
- High precision: Accuracy up to 0.1mm
- Minimal thermal distortion: Keeps the material structure intact
- Ability to cut complex shapes: Perfect for intricate designs
- Speed: Fast execution
- No tool changes required: Reduces downtime
Materials Suitable for Laser Cutting
Laser cutting technology is effective for a variety of materials, including:
- Structural steel (S235, S355)
- Stainless steel (304, 316)
- Aluminum and its alloys
- Brass and copper
Applications
Laser cutting is widely used in manufacturing components for the machinery, automotive, and furniture industries, as well as in architecture and design projects.
