We use the laser cutting method in profile iron and sheet metal cutting processes. Thus, we obtain fast and economical solutions. Before we explain all the cutting processes we do with the laser machine in detail, let’s start by explaining what the concept of laser cutting is.

What is Laser Cutting?

It is the reflection of the rays in the plasma state by means of optical mirrors and the realization of burning and cutting processes. There are machines that do this job and they are specially designed.

Laser cutting machine is called Computerized CNC.

The process process is the excitation of electrical resonances in a sealed container to produce laser beams. It performs the excitation process for the materials to shine. As a result of this process, the rays that accumulate enough energy to escape are reflected to the external environment with the help of optical mirrors. The important thing here is that these rays are reflected by focusing in a narrow area. This is what makes cutting or other processes effective.

The diameter of the rays coming out of the machine is 1.5-2.0 millimeters thick. The beam material in the lens head is used to focus the rays. With the help of lenses and mirrors located between the beams, laser beams are focused on very small points such as 0.025 millimeters.

In sheet metal cutting, the focusing range is 38-76 millimeters. The focus range changes depending on the type of material to be cut. This change is carried out with the help of CNC machines.

Laser Cutting Parameters

Laser cutting parameters differ according to the type of metal. Based on the metal type, the cutting speed and gas amounts are adjusted with the help of machines. For example, nitrogen gas is used for stainless steels. Oxygen gas is used for cutting mild steel metals.

Likewise, nitrogen or nitrogen gas is used for cutting aluminum metal materials.

Advantages of Laser Cutting Process

When the cutting process applied to metals is done with the laser method, you gain the following advantages:

• You save time and money.
• It reduces production costs.
• There is no limit in production. You can cut any size you want.
• Fire rate decreases.
• More work occurs per unit time.
• You will not encounter any problems during the cutting process.

Types of Laser Cutting

Evaporation, melting and processing, reactive cutting methods constitute the types of laser cutting. Let us briefly introduce these types.

Evaporation Method

This process is standard in laser cutting applications. In other words, it is a method used in all metal materials.

The evaporation method is to focus the laser beams on a point and create heat at boiling point in this region.

The material heated at the boiling point begins to melt and a keyhole-like cavity is formed in this part.

Melting Processing

Also called fusion or pulse cutting. In this method, high pressure gas is applied to the cutting area of ​​metals. Thus, more power usage is prevented. The material is heated to the melting point with laser beams. The gas is then sprayed. Compressed gas expels the material in this area outwards.

Reactive Cutting Method

It is also called laser cutting gas. In the reactive cutting process, the ignition source is laser beams. Just like in the oxygen source, that is, a laser beam is created in the form of a torch flame and applied to the surface of the metals. This method is generally used to cut carbon steels thicker than 1 millimeter. Steel plates are also cut with this method by applying less laser beam.

How Is Laser Cut Sheet Metal Processed?

First of all, the thickness of the sheet material to be cut is measured. The photo of the material is then uploaded to the CAD software that drives the CNC machine. Vector drawing is created. Laser cut sheet metal placement is performed.

The metal to be cut is placed on the table of the CNC machine. Gas selection and parameters suitable for the sheet material to be cut are determined.

Finally, the cutting process is started and terminated.

Laser Cut Sheet Models

We can cut the thickness and shape you want. You can reach us at our contact addresses for laser cut sheet metal models and more.

Laser Cut Sheet Prices

We determine our prices depending on the duration of the process and the amount of material to be cut. When receiving laser cutting prices from our customer consultants, be sure to submit the necessary information completely.

Pipe Profile Laser Cutting

In this cutting process, we take care that there is no residue on the surfaces of the steel profile pipes. After thoroughly cleaning the surfaces, we separate the profiles according to their lengths. Then we start the cutting process according to the following methods.

Oxy Profile Cutting

It is a type of cutting that we perform with the help of laser machines that produce plasma. This method is ideal for cutting, as profile materials are not affected by high temperatures. It is the type of cutting we perform using oxygen gas and laser beams.

Plasma Profile Cutting

The laser cutting work performed with this method saves money and time. It is performed on the CNC machine by creating pressurized gas and laser beams. The error level is minimal. With this method, we perform fast cutting operations. Thanks to the professional laser cutter, the process is completed perfectly.

Contract Laser Pipe Cutting

Apart from the processes we carry out as a standard, we also perform contract laser pipe cutting.
