Metal laser cutting is currently one of the most popular machining methods in the mechanical engineering industry. It stands out as the optimal method for metal cutting. So, what advantages does it offer that make it a preferred choice? Let’s explore with Towavina in this article.
1. What is Metal Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is one of the most advanced metal processing technologies today. This technology utilizes laser light to create precise cuts on various types of metals such as stainless steel, iron, steel, copper, and aluminum.
During the laser cutting process, the laser beam passes through the material, causing vaporization along the cutting path. The result is precise, aesthetically pleasing, and fast cuts. This laser cutting technology completely eliminates the need to deal with scrap and debris, common in traditional cutting methods, while saving material costs for manufacturers.
In particular, laser cutting allows for rapid and diverse product design changes. Today, laser cutting is widely applied in various aspects of life, including medicine, jewelry, furniture, and the advertising industry. This technology meets all requirements for the aesthetics and functional value of products.
2. Advantages of Metal Laser Cutting
Material Diversity: All common industrial materials, from steel, sheet metal, stainless steel to colored metals, and non-metallic materials such as glass, wood, or ceramics, can be safely and efficiently cut with a laser beam. This tool can cut metal sheets of varying thicknesses, ranging from 0.5 mm to 30 mm. The ability to handle large-sized blanks makes laser cutting technology the top choice for various applications in both metal and non-metal fabrication industries. High Precision Laser Cutting:- High precision laser cutting with minimal tolerance.
- Ability to shape products according to specific requirements.
- High operating speed, enhancing production efficiency and large-scale manufacturing.
- Laser cutting costs are often lower than other cutting methods, especially in large quantities.
- Versatility in working with various materials.
- Environmentally friendly, causing no pollution.
- Produces high-quality cut edges with very short laser pulses, resulting in thinner cut widths compared to many other methods. This ensures excellent quality, smooth surfaces, and eliminates the need for extensive post-processing cleaning steps.
3. Common Materials for Metal Laser Cutting
3.1 CNC Stainless Steel Laser Cutting
Utilizing CNC stainless steel laser cutting technology ensures precision down to the smallest details, catering to your initial design requirements through CNC stainless steel cutting techniques.
The use of 100% nitrogen gas helps protect the cutting circuit from rust. The metal laser cutting process does not physically touch the product, and it is mechanized and automated.
When employing stainless steel laser cutting methods, products can be completed quickly and accurately, meeting production needs in large quantities.
This ensures that we have the capability to provide metal fabrication services for all types of customers, regardless of their scale, while ensuring product quality.
3.2. Aluminum Laser Cutting
When it comes to metal laser cutting, the application of this technology for aluminum material cannot be overlooked. Aluminum laser cutting currently has the ability to cut thicknesses up to 25 mm and uses 100% nitrogen gas, similar to the stainless steel laser cutting process.
However, compared to stainless steel, the aluminum laser cutting process may be more complex due to aluminum’s property as a good thermal reflector and its intolerance to high temperatures. This can lead to issues such as bending the thin surface of aluminum during the cutting process. Therefore, the use of high skills from a skilled team is essential to ensure that the aluminum laser cutting process is carried out accurately and efficiently.
3.3. Steel Plate Laser Cutting
Steel plate laser cutting is a common and essential application. Laser cutting technology can handle steel with thicknesses ranging from 1 mm to 25 mm, making it an ideal choice for various industrial applications.
Reputable units often commit to using 100% oxygen during the steel plate laser cutting process to ensure that the cutting circuit is not prone to rust, thereby producing quality steel products that meet user needs. Steel laser cutting has produced a variety of finished products to serve many purposes and applications in both the industrial and daily life sectors.
