Laser manufacturing activities
currently include cutting, welding, heat treating, cladding, vapor deposition,
engraving, scribing, trimming, annealing, and shock hardening. Laser
manufacturing processes compete both technically and economically with
conventional and nonconventional manufacturing processes such as mechanical and
thermal machining, arc welding, electrochemical, and electric discharge
machining (EDM), abrasive water jet cutting, plasma cutting, and flame cutting.
Advantage of laser manufacturing:
TIME SAVER:High pressure assist
gas, such as oxygen or nitrogen is injected through the metal cutting nozzle.
The result is a dross free cut edge which requires little to no deburring.
LOW OPERATING COST:Laser cutting
is a non-contact process that eliminates the high costs of replacement die
stamps, machine center re-tooling and router bits.
INTRICATE CUTTING: Metal laser
cutting machine is capable of cutting thin gauge
metal to shape. A beam of only 0.1mm allows for the most intricate designs to
be cut.
