automation
Most likely the most significant advantage of laser cutting is the fact that the whole operation is controlled by CNC. The machine is given an order in the form of code that is subsequently executed. If every part of the code addresses the correct part of the process, the cutting can be completed with little to no deviation and significantly fewer defects. The combination of these aspects leads to greater efficiency and increased productivity.
Benefits of METAL LASER CUTTING
We can cut all types of metal and offer:
- Consistency and repeatability
- Exceptional detailing
- Ability to cut complex shapes with incredible accuracy
- Superior edge finish
- Fast and efficient, extremely cost-effective products and service
- Tabbing and slotting, engineered part design support
In addition, laser technology is ideally suited for cutting high carbon or abrasion resistant steel. In fact, where shearing or machining hard metals can present challenges, laser cutting can often produce such a clean finish that secondary machining operations are not required.
