How does laser cutting work?

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

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

What can you do with laser cutting?

Versatile application options for different materials

Which materials and substances do we process for you with laser cutting? We produce flat laser cuts for you directly from the coil. Thanks to pulsed laser technology, we can cut almost any metal as well as other materials and foils. Typical material thicknesses for sheet metal and foils range from 0.1 mm to 5.00 mm.

The materials overview shows which materials we can process for you with the laser beam. We are happy to develop applications according to your specifications. Here you will find an overview of typical 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 introduce very little energy into the material. Little heat means little distortion and enables filigree cuts.

Using laser systems and modern beam sources, we achieve reproducible cuts of 0.05 mm gap width and less. Depending on the metal and sheet thickness, the tolerances for laser cutting are +/- 0.02 mm. As a contract manufacturer, we can carry out surface processing such asdeburring or satin finishing of your parts on request.

What types of laser cutting are there?

There are big differences in laser cutting. The laser tool cuts without contact and universally thanks to different cutting processes.

Flame cutting

How does flame cutting work?

In flame cutting or laser cutting, oxygen is blown into the kerf at a pressure of up to 20 bar. This enables a very high cutting speed, as the energy generated during combustion accelerates the cutting process. One drawback of the otherwise inexpensive and economical laser cutting process is that flame cutting introduces a lot 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 pressed into the kerf at a pressure of up to 23 bar. The gas cools and prevents oxidation at the cut edge of the sheet metal.

Sublimator cutting

How does sublimation cutting work?

Laser sublimation cutting is a process in which the material is vaporized with as little melt as possible. The vaporizing material generates high pressure in the kerf, which causes the molten material to be ejected. The process gas keeps the cut edges free of oxide.

Light metals

Aluminum is a relatively soft and light material, resistant to corrosion and easily weldable. Typical material grades:

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

Titanium (Ti) is lightweight, biocompatible and passivatable. We often use the material for 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)

Non-ferrous metals

Non-ferrous metals are non-ferrous metals (without precious metals), we include:

Copper (Cu) is resistant to corrosion, has good electrical conductivity, can be hot and cold formed. Type. Material grades: CW004A, CW008A, CW024A
Copper, nickel, cobalt alloys (refractory)
Bronze (hard, wear and corrosion resistant non-ferrous 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 kerfs of 0.025 to 0.08 mm

Laser is ideal for precise, filigree structures and bevel cuts
We use our CAD/CAM system to change the dimensions of the blanks as required
Cutting contours can be adjusted quickly and flexibly
The laser processes a wide range of materials and laser parts
Material thicknesses up to 0.01 mm can be cut cleanly

A good choice: Precise laser parts delivered reliably.

A closer look at laser cutting

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 different applications such as metal processing.

Beam guidance: The laser beam is guided to the cutting head of the laser cutting device by means of mirrors or fiber cables
.

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

Melting: The focused laser beam heats the material to such an extent that it melts or vaporizes.

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.
