Laser burn-cut shapes
Laser burn-cut shapes
Same as in any partition process, also laser burning serves to part smaller parts from the main semi-product for potential further processing. To achieve it, laser heats the semi-product along the cutting line to a temperature so high that it locally melts, evaporates or breaks up. In consequence of that, the final burn-cut shape is not connected with the semi-product any longer, and can be taken out for further processing.
Benefits of laser burning:
- high flexibility and possibility of single part production
- depending on the device, laser can be used to cut almost any material
- economically beneficial due to high efficiency of material utilisation
- material-dependant clean cutting edges with minimum or zero demands on further finish
- carving/inscription and laser burning can be done on almost the same device within a single operation
Laser burning capacities:
- metal plate thickness up to 20 mm
