Manufacturing of sheet metal parts implies carrying out such a technological procedure as cutting, which is carried out using various equipment or machines. At the same time, such metalworking is divided into several types of direct (destructive) impact on the metal structure:
- Traditional sawing, can even be done with a hand saw.
- Cutting, implying an impact force with a sharpened tool at the cut.
- Thermal cutting using electric arc or gas welding.
And one more, rather innovative high-tech option is the use of modern laser equipment, which the customer should learn more about.
Key benefits
Laser metalworking equipment includes the principle of using the power released by the thinnest (we are talking about microns) laser beam to cut sheet metal with a thickness:
- Ferrous metals - up to 8 mm.
- Refractory and non-ferrous alloys - up to 4 mm.
- Metals of the "stainless steel" category - up to 5 mm.
Without going into details of the principle of operation, we should immediately note the main advantage of this type of cutting. The ability of the plasmatron (such a technical designation has a cutter) to cut the sheet not only in the rectilinear (longitudinal or transverse) direction. The use of a CNC system allows you to lay down a cutting program with specified geometric parameters and even roundings in the desired radius. As a result, the customer can receive not just blanks for further processing, but already finished parts with minimal values of the permissible error in dimensions.
You can get more complete information on the possibilities of using laser equipment for cutting sheet metal products using the official website of the company, which has a whole fleet of this type of machine on its balance sheet and successfully uses them in its production activities. For individual customers, the resource provides an option to contact the project manager.
