Flat sheet metal and other materials can be effectively and efficiently cut with precision into specific shapes using laser cutters. Industrial laser cutters are most commonly used for cutting piping metals or sheet material. A low divergence beam which can be manipulated with various reflective surfaces is used with laser cutters. Predominantly there are three different ways of using laser cutters to cut materials i.e. by burning, melting or blowing it away. There are different ways of using laser cutters to cut different material which includes Thermal stress cracking, scribing, cold cutting and many more.
With the traditional method of metal cutting, there is always a risk of the machines getting contaminated by the materials they cut. With frequent extended use, it can be terrible for the laser cutters. Custom laser cutting methods allows better precision and consistency. Laser cutters guarantee clean, burr-free cuts along with great accuracy. Because of the excellent accuracy, laser cutters records less wasted metals which ultimately means lower costs to the manufacturer. Laser cutters requires cooling where water serves as the most common coolant, circulated through a heat transfer system.
There are three main techniques of laser cutting and each have their own set of specialities. The CO2 laser cutter is used to cut, bore or engrave. The Nd-YAG laser cutter is used in projects where high power is required. The basic Nd laser cutter is used for boring and jobs which require high energy but low repetition. The basic fact that laser cutting technology guarantees a clean cut devoid of any contamination makes laser cutters extremely popular. Moreover, one can easily achieve complex details with precision and good edge quality in case of sheet metals. Micah & Co. guarantees high quality laser cutting solutions at the best price.
