LASER
CUTTING:
Machine: Mitsubishi 2512 HD - 48" X 96"
Our Laser is a 3000 watt carbon dioxide
laser, its "color" is in the infra red
region, 1,064 nanometers. The laser cuts
certain materials better than others, and
imparts some heat into the part. On more
intricate parts, where heat is a concern, we
will typically cut slower using less power
in short pulses. On Stainless Steel alloys,
we can use high pressure nitrogen assist
gas, for an oxide free "clean cut" edge. In
general, if a material can be cut on the
laser, it will be more cost effective than
using the water jet.
