Laser Cutting
If you were to be asked what the best way or type of cutting metal is – what would you answer? Is it metal turning or drilling? Would it be water jet cutting? All of the aforementioned are great procedures and methods but one remains to be the top of the list when it comes to metal and steel cutting – laser cutting.
As futuristic as it may sound, laser cutting is already being done especially in manufacturing and in the metal fabrication industry. It is the process in which it involves a high-powered and highly-focused laser beam to cut through a material, forming it into different shapes.
Laser cutting can cut many things, not just metal and steel – it can cut through:
- Wood
- Plastic
- Gemstone
- Glass
- Paper
- Cement
- And Many More
However, here with us at Illinois Contract Manufacturing Experts, we’re focused in the area of metal fabrication and contract manufacturing – so if you need anything to do with metal and manufacturing, we’re the best you have.
How is Laser Cutting Done?
Lasers are not just used for cutting – it can be used for other procedures and methods as well including engraving and drilling. Engraving is the process in which the laser beam would be put on power only enough for it to leave a symbol or text engraved on the material.
Drilling, on the other hand, is the process in which lasers are used to cut holes to the material. Both of which are needed in the process of laser cutting.
Laser cutting is done and accomplished without contact; the only thing that would be involved would be the material, the laser cutting hand, and the precision of the machine or the laser cutting expert who would be doing the work.
Here with us at Illinois Contract Manufacturing Experts, we have expert cutters and laser-working professionals who you can trust and count on should you need help with laser cutting. But in addition to that, we also have CNC laser cutting machines which are easier and better. These machines would be the answer to all of the problems you have in metal and steel cutting!
What’s a CNC laser cutting machine?
A computer numerically controlled (CNC) laser cutting machine is the advanced type of laser cutting machine where the entire program will be pre-written through a software. It will then be fed to the laser cutting machine, dictating everything needed – from the speed, the length, and the power of the laser.
These machines are capable of working on your project or your products with high precision and accuracy, leaving off a lot of different problems like low-quality outputs, inconsistency, and the like.
How Effective is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is effective that many manufacturers and metal fabrication companies switched to it from their regular flame and water jet cutters. The process of laser cutting is fast and it can accommodate a wide range of requests in just a short span of time.
The only downside of laser cutting is its programming – it would take many hours to arrive at the right and at the best program of how you want your products to be. As a matter of fact, here are some of the other benefits laser cutting can do for you.
