CNC Machining
Quality Assured:
Lasers are nothing but high-power beams of light created with help of stimulated emission of radiation. Mirrors and lenses concentrate the beam of light to create a single point which possesses an immense amount of energy. In laser cutting, machines use this point to remove material and cut the sheet metal.
Laser cutting machines are CNC machines with a laser head instead of tool holder. The laser moves according to the commands fed to the CNC machine for given part design. The power of the laser also changes depending upon application and thickness of the sheet. The sheet metal is clamped on the machine bench and kept flat. The laser just follows the path programmed by engineers and the laser cuts the sheet metal in the process.
Laser cutting is extremely precise. The cuts made by laser cutting have accuracies as good as 0.002 inch (0.05 mm). They have unmatched reproducibility compared to other cutting processes. The thickness of the sheet doesn’t have to be uniform.
Heat affected zone in laser cutting is smaller than other cutting processes which keeps the properties of material largely unchanged. Laser cutting is faster and more energy-efficient than any manual cutting process.
