Laser Cutters

Micah & Co. has been successful in providing top quality service and unrivalled products to its customers. They specialize in the design, cutting, fabrication and finishing of supreme quality laser cutting sheet metal components. We work closely with specialist companies that use the latest CNS laser cutters with technology to deliver high precision products as per customer requirements.

Laser Accuracy

Laser cutters promise substantial savings of time and effort along with the cost effectiveness and high quality products. Laser technology is much more powerful than conventional punching and stamping. New laser cutters have positioning accuracy of 10 micrometres and repeatability of 5 micrometres. The experienced technical team at Micah & Co. is qualified to provide the best laser cutting service available in the market. Laser cutters include easier work holding and reduced contamination of work piece with high precision and reduced warping due to a small heat affected zone. We can provide laser cutting of aluminium up to 15 mm thickness, laser cutting stainless steel up to 15 mm thickness and mild steel up to 25 mm thickness. Micah & Co. has an in-house engineering team who ensure all CNC laser cut parts produced are precise and of superior quality.

Laser cutters don’t generate dust and hence complex conversions and adaptations are much quicker and easier to do. The laser cuts often require zero or minimal finishing. Detail and finesse previously unachievable is now an easy task for laser cutters. Set up and Installation is quick and the laser cutters are flexible enough to handle different materials and multiple jobs. For all intents and purposes, a laser cutter can be up to thirty times faster than conventional cutting methods. Customer satisfaction has always been the primary goal for Micah & Co. and the use of laser cutters make it easy to achieve the unthinkable. In depth knowledge and know-how of the technical team is of the highest Australian standard. The company provides laser-cutting services for a variety of materials, which includes mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, plastics, timber and more. To summarize, the various incredible advantages of laser cutters are high dicing speeds, parallel kerfs and unidirectional cutting. Micah & Co. is the destination when one is looking for superior results using laser cutters.

Laser Cutting

Today, laser cutting is the common method used to cut a range of metals. There are a number of different ways of producing a laser beam in these cutting lasers, such as:

• Vaporization
• Melt blow & burn
• Melt and blow
• Cold cutting
• Thermal stress cracking
• Burning stabilized laser-cutting
• Scribing

Types of Laser Cutters

There are 3 main types of laser-cutting:

• The CO2 laser is utilized for cutting, boring or engraving
• Nd is used in boring where there is low repetition but high-energy requirements
• Nd-YAG laser is utilized where there is a requirement for high power

Any typical laser cutting apparatus is made up of a power supply that produces a laser beam; there is a work-piece positioning table, a method of stimulation, laser material, mirrors & a focusing lens. The work-piece has straps, tabs, clamps, magnets/suction cups. Laser cutters provide precision cutting unlike mechanical cutting such as saw cutting. In the latter the machines can easily get contaminated & dulled with frequent and extended use.

The Benefits

• In terms of consistency in cutting larger metal sheets and in larger scales, laser cutters become the tools of choice
• Laser cutters give you much cleaner, burr-free cuts. The production is also much quicker and there is minimal operator intervention (and less chance for human error)
• Since the accuracy levels are higher, it means there is less wastage of material
• All these aspects result in lower costs to the manufacturer

Though this a very commonly-used method for cutting all types of metal, it is still a specialised job and it is important that you choose a company that will be able to handle it with expertise for you.
