Laser cutting of aluminum has become an extremely attractive technology for several reasons. Firstly, the lightness of the metal enables precise and clean cuttingwhich complex shapes and fine details can be easily realized. Secondly, the technology is extremely efficient, as the laser beam works at high speed and therefore reduces production time.
Finally, it is also more environmentally friendly, as less waste is produced and energy consumption is lower compared to other cutting processes. The combination of precision, efficiency and environmental friendliness makes laser cutting of aluminum an extremely attractive option for numerous applications in industry and manufacturing.

For filigree aluminum: our state-of-the-art laser technology
For precise laser cutting of a highly reflective material such as aluminum, we use QCW pulsed fiber lasers and Nd:YAG laser systems from DMG MORI and Trumpf. These laser sources only introduce a small amount of energy into the aluminum. Low heat means minimal deformation and enables extremely delicate cuts. Our fineblanking laser systems and modern beam sources enable cuts with a width of 0.03 mm or less. The tolerances are in the range of +/- 0.01 mm, depending on the sheet thickness.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about laser cutting aluminum
Which lasers are used to cut aluminum?
For laser cutting of aluminum, we use QCW fiber lasers and disk lasers for precise and economical cuts. For micro-cut parts that require maximum precision and are between 0.02 mm and 0.5 mm, we use the ultrashort pulse laser (USP) with the micro laser cutting process.
Which aluminum alloys are suitable for precision laser cutting?
Various aluminum alloys are suitable for precision laser cutting, depending on the specific requirements of your application. Some of the most commonly used aluminum alloys for laser cutting are
- EN AW 5754: This aluminum alloy has excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, weldability, formability and strength, which is widely used in various applications. HEN AW 5754 is often used in the automotive industry for body parts, in the construction industry for facade cladding, in shipbuilding and in the food industry for containers and tanks.
- EN AW 6061: This alloy is characterized by a good combination of strength, corrosion resistance and weldability. The sheet is well suited for laser cutting of components in mechanical engineering, aviation and automotive engineering.
- EN AW 5052: This alloy is also corrosion-resistant and has good formability. It is often used for thinner sheets and components that require precise laser cuts, such as in the electronics and packaging industries.
- EN AW 6063: This alloy is known for its high extrudability and is often used for profiles and structural components. The sheet is ideal for laser cutting aluminum profiles.
- EN AW 1050: This alloy is often used in the production of thin sheets and precision parts, especially in applications where high precision and a smooth cut edge are required, such as in the electronics and automotive industries.
- EN AW 5005: EN AW 5005 is a high-quality aluminum alloy that is often used in the manufacture of cladding, signs, containers, and other construction projects where both an aesthetically pleasing finish and durability are required.
