CNC Laser Cutting machine

CNC Laser Cutting machine is hailed as one of the most advanced techniques in manufacturing technology. They are perfectly suited for cutting any kind of metal like stainless steel, aluminum or titanium.

Below are some of the advantages of using a CNC Laser Cutting machine:
- Setup time for this machine is very minimal compared to other technologies

Laser cutting
- Faster engineering time, nearly hundred times faster than the traditional methods.

- Minimum waste or slag is left behind when this machine is used.

- Complex designs can be made very easily using CNC Laser Cutting machine.

- Uniformity in dimensions will be maintained for any number of uses.

- CNC Laser Cutting machine is very effective in manufacturing large volumes of material.

The working mechanism of the CNC Laser Cutting machine is as follows:

A single wavelength of light is projected onto the metal sheet using an optical projection mechanism. The light is caused by the excitation of gas when carbon dioxide is passed through a high voltage system. The light is narrowed down to such a thin line that can be used to cut metals. A nitrogen and oxygen gas mixture is used in this machine that helps in two ways. One is, it enables faster cutting and other is it helps in preventing the vaporization of the metal to give a nice and smooth finish. No waste can be found from the finished product of the CNC Laser Cutting machine and even if there is some, it will be very minimal. A few machines are capable of getting nitrogen even from the air and use it for the laser purposes. The user is well protected by a lid on top of the machine. The top has a special coating that can protect the user’s eyes from the laser light.
