About Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a thermal process in which a focused laser beam (photons) is used to melt material in an extremely localized area.
The Value of Laser Cutting
Benefits of Laser Cutting Services:
- No cutting lubricants required

- Power Consumption is high
- High maintenance cost
- Assist or cover gas required
The Advanced Laser Cutting Process
The Advanced Laser Cutting Process
The LASER, an acronym for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” is a device that produces a concentrated, coherent beam of light by stimulating molecular or electronic transitions to lower energy levels, causing the emission of photons. In some of our Laser Cutting equipment, a solid-state laser utilizes a single crystal rod with parallel, flat ends, with each end having reflective surfaces.
A high-intensity light source, surrounds the crystal. When power is supplied by the PFN (pulse-forming network), an intense pulse of light (photons) will be released through one end of the crystal rod. The light being released in our Laser Cutting Services is of single wavelength, thus allowing for minimum divergence.
How it Works
In our advanced Laser Cutting process, 100% of the laser light will be reflected off the rear mirror, and 30 to 50% will pass through the front mirror. The laser light will continue through the shutter assembly to the angled mirror and down through the focusing lens to the workpiece. The laser light beam in our Laser Cutting Service is coherent and has a high energy content. When focused on a surface, laser light creates the heat used for cutting.
The workpiece and the laser beam are manipulated by means of robotics. The laser beam can be adjusted to varying sizes and heat intensity, from .004 to .040 inches. The smaller size is used for cutting, drilling, and welding, and the larger for heat treating.
