Today there is no such production process where modern metal cutting technologies are not applied. Laser cutting metalworking is a high-tech and high-performance process. He has rightfully taken one of the leading places in the modern industry in the field of production.
Laser cutting of metal is a necessary and frequently used process in metalworking . It has the broadest application and can be used in the manufacture of parts, mechanisms or spare parts for various types of devices. It is often used in the production of souvenirs and spare parts for a wide variety of products.
Laser cutting of metal excludes the possibility of deforming the product or damaging it, while the temperature of the laser action is localized only in the processing area. This method has significant advantages:
- it does not affect the chemical composition of the processed material,
- the cut of the processed material is smooth, without the slightest deformation, which makes the product ready for further use without additional processing
The above explains the high productivity of this metalworking method in comparison with other cutting methods. At the same time, the material support consists of only a few machines designed for laser cutting of metal.
Laser cutting: the essence of the work
The laser beam is fixed at pre-marked points, due to which the temperature in them rises. In this case, the products are not deformed. This is due to the high concentration of energy generated by laser cutting. The process is controlled by a special program, this explains the high accuracy of the cut. The energy is accompanied by the release of gas, which is concentrated in the section being cut.
The laser beam heats up the marked points on the sheet, melting of the material occurs, but along the line where the cut passes, it immediately evaporates.
Special steam is supplied to the edges of the material to be processed. It also removes the products released as a result of laser exposure.
Due to the strong heating, laser cutting can separate very delicate workpieces and non-ferrous metal products. Such metalworking is becoming especially popular in this age of delicate technologies.
