What is laser cutting/profiling?

Lasers are used for many purposes. They are used is for cutting metals and plastic plates. The laser cutting process is highly accurate, yields excellent cut quality, has a very small cutting width and small heat affect zone this makes it possible to cut very intricate shapes and small holes.

​

Steel and Aluminium

Our metal cutting services are for the fabrication of parts out of sheet metal.

• Mild Steel up to 16mm

• Stainless Steel up to 8mm

• Aluminium  up to 3mm

• Galvanised Steel up to 8mm​

How it works

The laser beam is a column of very high intensity light, that is focused onto the plate. The focused laser beam goes through the bore of a nozzle right before it hits the plate. The beam has to be precisely focused so that the shape of the focus spot and the density of the energy in that spot are perfectly round and consistent and centered in the nozzle. The high power density results in rapid heating, melting and partial or complete vaporizing of the material. On a CNC laser cutter, the laser cutting head is moved over the plate in the shape of the desired part, thus cutting the part out of the plate.
