How does laser cutting work?

Laser cutting is a thermal cutting process in which materials are severed with a laser beam. The process uses the high energy of a laser beam to melt, vaporize, or blow away materials, thus creating a cut.

Laser cutting is one of the most flexible processes for cutting sheet metal and other materials. Speed, precision, and exact cutting edges, along with a wide range of application possibilities, make laser cutting so efficient and widespread. At HAILTEC, we have specialized in laser cutting of particularly fine, precise components with dimensions up to 2004 x 800 mm since 500. This so-called laser fine cutting is 5-10 times more precise than traditional laser cutting.

What can you do with laser cutting?

Versatile applications for different materials

What materials do we process for you with laser cutting? We produce flat laser cuts for you directly from coils. Thanks to pulsed laser technology, we can cut virtually any metal, as well as other materials and foils. Typical material thicknesses for our sheets and foils range from 0,1 mm to 5,00 mm.

The materials overview shows which materials we process with the laser beam. We are happy to develop applications according to your specifications. Here you will find an overview of typical materials and materials for laser cutting:

Pulsed laser systems for precise and clean cutting

For precise laser cutting, we use QCW pulsed fiber lasers and Nd:YAG laser systems from renowned manufacturers such as DMG MORI and Trumpf in our production. What distinguishes these laser sources? They inject very little energy into the material. Low heat means minimal distortion and enables delicate cuts.

Using laser systems and modern beam sources, we achieve reproducible cuts with a gap width of 0,05 mm and less. Depending on the metal and sheet thickness, the tolerances for laser cutting are +/- 0,02 mm. As a contract manufacturer, we can also carry out the Surface treatment wie deburring or satin finishing your parts.

What types of laser cutting are there?

There are major differences in laser cutting. Thanks to various cutting processes, laser cutting tools cut non-contact and universally.

Flame cutting

How does flame cutting work?

During flame cutting or laser cutting, oxygen is blown into the kerf at a pressure of up to 20 bar. This enables very high cutting speeds, as the energy generated during combustion accelerates the cutting process. One drawback of this otherwise inexpensive and cost-effective laser cutting process is that flame cutting introduces a significant amount of heat into the component.

Fusion cutting

How does fusion cutting work?

Laser fusion cutting is a cutting process using a solid-state laser. For laser fusion cutting, a reaction-inhibiting cutting gas (argon or nitrogen) is injected into the kerf at up to 23 bar pressure. The gas cools and prevents oxidation at the cut edge of the sheet metal.

Sublimation cutting

How does sublimation cutting work?

Laser sublimation cutting is a process in which the material is evaporated with as little melt as possible. The evaporating material creates high pressure in the kerf, forcing the melt out. The process gas keeps the cut edges oxide-free.

Light metals

Aluminium is a relatively soft and lightweight material, resistant to corrosion, and easy to weld. Typical material grades:

AW-5754 / AlMg3
AW 6082 / AlSi1MgMn
AW-1050A (pure aluminum)

Titan (Ti) is lightweight, biocompatible, and passivable. We frequently use this material in medical technology.

ferrous metal

Structural steel (Material grades e.g. 1.0330, DC01 or 1.0338, DC04)
Stainless Steel (Standard stainless steels V2A such as 1.4301, 1.4316; stainless steels V4A such as 1.4404, stainless steel 1.4828, 1.4016 etc.)
Carbon steel or carbon steel (material grade 1.1274, C100S, C75S)
spring steel (Material grade 1.4310)

Copper based alloys

Non-ferrous metals are non-ferrous metals (excluding precious metals), including:

Copper (Cu) is resistant to corrosion, has good electrical conductivity, and can be hot and cold formed. Typical material grades: CW004A, CW008A, CW024A
Copper, nickel, cobaltalloys (high-melting)
Bronze (hard, wear- and corrosion-resistant non-ferrous metal alloy, CW452K)
brass (good spring properties, cold formable. CW508L, CW612N)
Nickel (Ni) or MU metal (ferromagnetic and particularly corrosion-resistant)
Copper-nickel

The laser beam achieves narrow cutting kerfs of 0,025 to 0,08 mm

Laser is ideal for precise, delicate structures
Using our CAD/CAM system, we can change the dimensions of the boards if necessary
Cutting contours can be adjusted quickly and flexibly
The laser processes a wide variety of materials and laser parts
Material thicknesses up to 0,01 mm can be cut cleanly

A good choice: Precise laser parts delivered reliably.

Laser cutting in more detail

Laser source: There are different types of laser sources for cutting
such as CO 2 lasers and fiber lasers. Each of them has specific properties,
which are suitable for various applications such as metal processing.

Beam guidance: The laser radiation is transmitted by means of mirrors or fiber cables
to the cutting head of the laser cutting machine.

Focus: The laser beam is focused by a lens in the cutting head,
to concentrate the energy into a very small point.

Melt: The focused laser beam heats the material so much that it melts or evaporates.

Laser head: During cutting, the laser head moves over the material (or the material under the laser head) so that the laser beam cuts the desired shape or geometry.
