Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Advantages of Laser cutting
- Technically superior to other cutting processes
- Precision high quality cutting at rapid rates
- Dimension accuracy and repeatability
- Non contact cutting process
- Minimal heat affected zone
- Narrow kerf (material cut away)
- No tooling costs
- Nesting of parts reduces material wastage
- Ability to program and cut complex profiles
How a Laser beam cuts
Laser Cutting - The intense heat from the focused beam vaporizes a hole into the material. The pressure from a jet of assist gas helps to blow the molten material through the bottom and with relative motion a cut is produced.
