Laser Cutting

Is the laser cutting process suitable for all metals?

Laser cutting is suitable for many metals including stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, etc., but may not be effective for very reflective metals without specialized equipment.

How does fiber laser cutting machine work?

The machine emits a laser beam through fiber optic cables which is then amplified and focused onto the material being cut. The intense heat melts or vaporizes the material along the designated path, controlled by computer-aided design (CAD) software for intricate patterns and shapes.

What thickness of metal can laser cutting machine cut?

The cutting capacity depends on the specific machine model and its power output. Generally, most industrial laser cutters can handle sheet metal from 0.5mm up to 25mm or more, but again, this varies greatly.

What are the advantages of using a laser cutting machine over traditional methods?

Advantages include greater accuracy, faster production times, ability to cut complex shapes, reduced waste, no mechanical stress on the material, versatility in handling different materials, and lower operational costs over time.
