Laser cutting: advantages & disadvantages
CNC laser cutting is a key process utilised by metal fabrication subcontractors for the manufacture of sheet metal components and products.
It’s a metal cutting technique that offers a precise metal profiling solution and delivers consistent, accurate and cost-competitive results.
Laser cutting involves cutting sheet metal using a highly precise laser beam that focuses on a tiny area of the material. Lasers offer a way of cutting metal efficiently and quickly enabling ZhongXin to meet the ever-growing demand for high-quality metal machined products.
CNC laser cutting is often favoured for its ability to produce intricate designs, reduce material wastage and minimise changeover times. Computers allow the cutting of almost any shape and patterns are only limited by what the client can draw.
Technology allows the high-powered laser cutting of many kinds of metal including different grades of steel, vital to many industries such as the automotive and aerospace sectors.
The process is supported by computer-controlled programming that determines how and where the laser beam interacts with the material. Advances in technology have seen the introduction of laser/punch combination machines that suit fabricators who require cost-effective and flexible metal forming and cutting solutions.
