Sheet Metal Cutting: Our Services
Laser cutting
What laser cutting involves
Laser cutting is a process used to cut metal materials with a high power laser beam.
During the process the laser beam is focused through a lens onto a specific point on the material being cut. The heat generated by the laser beam melts or vaporizes the metal, creating clean and precise cuts.
Sectors of use
Laser cutting is widely adopted for its precision, speed, and versatility, and is applicable for a vast range of metal materials and thicknesses.
Sectors of use include motor vehicles, aeronautics, tool making, and many more.
Plasma Cutting
What plasma cutting involves
Plasma cutting is a cutting process used to split conductive metal materials with a jet of high temperature plasma.
During the process a compressed gas, often air or inert gas, is ionized to generate a flow of high energy plasma.
The plasma is directed through a nozzle and concentrated on a metal item, generating local melting that cuts through the material.
Sectors of use
The vast range of workable thicknesses makes it widely used in sectors like building, naval construction, motor vehicles, aeronautics, and agricultural metalwork.
Oxy-fuel cutting
What oxy-fuel cutting involves
The oxy-fuel cutting process, also known as oxyacetylene cutting, is a thermal cutting method used to split metal materials. It functions with a jet of high pressure oxygen blasted onto a preheated metal item. The oxygen jet reacts with the high temperature metal, generating metal oxide, which is ejected from the cut in the form of slag.
Uses
Oxy-fuel cutting is effective over a wide range of metal thicknesses and is particularly suited to materials with high carbon content, like carbon steel. However, care is required to avoid deformation or distortion of the material during the cutting process.
Oxy-fuel cutting is particularly effective for efficiently and precisely cutting very thick materials. This makes it ideal when substantial materials require clean, accurate cutting, like for example in the construction of heavy metal frameworks, or for working very large industrial components.
