How Does CNC Laser Cutting Work?
CNC laser cutting services use a thermal cutting process that directs a highly concentrated light beam powerful enough to cut through sheet or plate metal. A numerically controlled (.NC) file guides X and Y axis coordinates to direct the beam’s movement. The process heats, melts, and vaporizes the material along a programmed path, achieving tight tolerances, complex profiles, and smooth edges.
Advantages of CNC Laser Cutting
Precision: The laser’s highly-focused beam can cut intricate shapes with incredible detail and accuracy. JR Metal Works’ laser cutting technology is highly automated, so once a cutting file is created, all parts will replicate the original design with virtually no variation.
Speed: Traveling at speeds of up to 4,724 inches per minute, JR Metal Works’ laser technology cuts quickly to deliver parts quickly!
Shorter lead times: Lasers don’t wear out like other cutting tools do. For this reason, there is no need to replace tooling in the middle of a process. Edges are also smooth and clean, needing little production after the fact. Both qualities save time.
Cost efficiency through less waste: Laser cutting delivers sharper corners and very narrow kerf widths, yielding more parts per sheet and maximizing the use of material.
JR Metal Works’ CNC Laser Cutting Technology and Capabilities
Our 3000 Watt Trumpf 2030 laser for CNC cutting delivers fast, efficient results on materials from .015 to 1 inch thick. The 3-axis system can cut nearly any shape or profile and operate 24/7 thanks to advanced CNC automation and self-loading/unloading features.
JR Metal Works provides CNC laser cutting services both as part of its full-service fabrication process and as a standalone solution.
