What Are Laser Cut Panels?

 
Laser-cut screens feature intricate patterns and designs etched into a chosen material. Our screens are crafted from a variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, and corten steel. They serve versatile purposes and can be utilized in diverse settings such as luxury hotels, restaurants, offices, apartments, and homes. Tailored to suit any space, these screens seamlessly blend into their surroundings. Opting for laser-cut panels over conventional framed or unframed photographs offers numerous advantages. Virtually any design concept can be translated into a stunning masterpiece. Combining the robustness of steel with an elegant aesthetic, these panels are both lightweight and durable. Using metal as the medium ensures resilience against damage, even with frequent handling, promising longevity far beyond that of traditional photographs or pictures.
 

What Metals Can Be Laser-Cut?

 
A significant benefit of laser cutting lies in its versatility, capable of cutting through a wide array of materials ranging from thin metals to thicker ones, including wood and select types of plastic.

Laser cutting encounters minimal obstacles with most grades of:
 
  • Mild steel / Low Carbon steel
  • Cold rolled steel
  • Stainless Steel
  • Aluminum
  • Titanium
  • Brass
  • Copper
 
With the introduction of CO2 laser cutting technology, the precision and swiftness typically associated with thinner materials can now be extended to thicker materials as well.
 

What Is the Process of Laser Cutting Sheet Metal?

 
Laser cutting of metal involves the utilization of laser beams to liquefy metals and alloys, resulting in precise, clean cuts. This process comprises two synchronized operations.

Initially, the material absorbs the concentrated laser beam, which provides the energy necessary for cutting. Subsequently, the cutting nozzle, aligned with the lasers, supplies the requisite process gas. This gas shields the processing head from vapors and splatters while aiding in the removal of excess material from the kerf.

Primarily, there are three techniques for laser cutting sheet metal:

1.Laser Beam Fusion Cutting

In laser beam fusion cutting, an inert gas, typically nitrogen, is used. This low-reactivity process gas continually vaporizes the material's cutting gap. By preventing oxidation at the cutting edge without impeding the process, inert gas facilitates the removal of molten material. This method is suitable for cutting flat, thin sheets of aluminum alloys and stainless steel, resulting in high aesthetic appeal and minimal finishing operations.

2.Laser Beam Sublimation Cutting

Laser beam sublimation cutting entails the immediate evaporation of material, transitioning directly from solid to gas (sublimation). Similar to fusion cutting, inert gases are employed to expel the material's vapor from the kerf, ensuring no oxidation occurs at the cutting edge. This method finds application in cutting organic materials like wood, leather, and textiles.

3.Laser Beam Flame Cutting

Laser beam flame cutting utilizes a combustible gas—oxygen—to expel molten material. The laser heats the workpiece, inducing spontaneous combustion post-melting. Oxygen gas enhances the cutting process through oxidation—an exothermic reaction. Ideal for cutting mild steel and fusible materials such as ceramics, this method may result in burns on the cutting surface due to the oxidizing nature of the gas. Proper adjustment of process parameters can mitigate the formation of burrs.
 

7 Benefits Of Sheet Metal Laser Cutting

 
Let's explore the advantages of using laser cutting for sheet metal in the manufacturing sector:
 
1.Precision and Accuracy
 
Laser cutting excels in precision, making it ideal for intricate cuts with tight tolerances. Machines are capable of achieving extreme precision, often up to 0.0005 inches. This accuracy is crucial for manufacturing processes requiring detailed specifications. Additionally, laser cutting produces minimal burrs, leaving behind clean, smooth edges.
 
2.Automated Process

Utilizing Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems, laser cutting operates autonomously once programmed. This automation reduces the need for human intervention and labor while enhancing cutting efficiency.
 
3.Damage Prevention
 
Contrary to misconceptions, laser cutting minimally affects materials, preventing warping or distortion. The heat from lasers selectively targets specific areas, leaving surrounding material unaffected. Consequently, there's minimal risk of damage to the workpiece.
 
4.Compatibility with Various Materials
 
Laser cutting is versatile, capable of handling a wide range of materials including copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. Its ability to cut through various materials efficiently makes it a preferred choice for diverse manufacturing applications.
 
5.Cost-Effectiveness
 
Although laser cutting machines may have initial costs, they offer long-term cost savings. A single laser cutting machine can handle multiple cutting operations without the need for modifications. Moreover, the minimal maintenance requirements and reduced operational costs make it a cost-effective solution compared to traditional manufacturing tools.
 
6.Versatility
 
Laser cutting offers versatility, accommodating a wide range of cutting functions from simple to complex tasks. Its ability to handle intricate designs and tight tolerances makes it suitable for various industries and applications.
 
7.Low Energy Consumption
 
Despite requiring power for operation, laser cutters are energy-efficient compared to alternative cutting methods. The machines have fewer moving parts, resulting in lower energy requirements. Additionally, their high-speed cutting capability reduces energy consumption and saves time.
