Laser sheet metal cutting

The laser sheet metal cutting process is based precisely on the operation of the laser beam, which alone is able to overheat the metal to the melting point. Just as with oxyfuel and plasma cutting, this task is performed by a gas nozzle.

Almost always laser cutting of metals produces much more precise results than plasma cutting at lower energy costs. However, plasma cutting is still preferred on some occasions because of its flexibility. During its years of activity Tecnos has become a reference point for laser cutting in Varese.

Fiber laser has revolutionized the world of laser cutting of metals from the source. The proven CO2 sources are replaced by maintenance-free LED sources that allow to amplify and update the cutting source at will. The transport of light by fiber, abandoning the previous one with mirrors, therefore avoids periodic settings and maintenance, making the new technology more performing and reliable. In recent years the intense development of the fiber laser has allowed to cut even thicknesses of 40mm and with the application of bevel torches to make 3D cuts such as V-X-Y-K perimeter chamfers even on holes and slots inside the piece. The precision of the cut to the tenth, the elimination of any burrs that are generally formed in other cutting processes, but above all the possibility of cutting any metal material, make the Laser Fiber Bevel a machine capable of replacing the plasma cutting technology over time. Tecnos, an expert in laser cutting in Milan, Novara and Varese, can also work on very thick sheets, and also deals with other processes such as sandblasting and crimping.
