What distinguishes laser fine cutting at HAILTEC?

Laser fine cutting: A good decision

HAILTEC has been an expert in laser fine cutting and welding in micro processing since 2005. For precise laser cutting, we rely on QCW pulsed fiber lasers and Nd:YAG laser systems from DMG MORI and Trumpf. These laser sources introduce very little energy into the material. Little heat means little distortion and allows highly delicate cuts. With fine cutting systems and modern beam sources, we achieve reproducibly fine cuts of 0.03 mm gap width and less for you. Depending on the sheet thickness, the tolerances are in the range of +/- 0.01 mm. As a contract manufacturer, we can deburr or satin-finish the parts on request.

Another advantage of laser fineblanking with HAILTEC: Our zero-point clamping system fixtures with repeat accuracy and thus ensures short set-up times. short set-up times.

Frequently asked questions about laser fine cutting

Can HAILTEC also automate laser fine cutting?

Thanks to robotic assistance, you can count on us as a fast and reliable partner even for large quantities. With a mobile robot cell, we run autonomous shifts and manufacture your components, contours and structures from quantities of 1 to 500,000 even faster and more efficiently. Because exact dimensional accuracy is what counts in laser fineblanking technology - this is an ideal match for automated assembly by robot, which also ensures speed and reliable processes at HAILTEC.

What safety measures must be observed during laser fine cutting?

When laser fine cutting, there are a number of safety measures that must be followed to prevent injury and damage. Here are some important measures: Always wear protective equipment, such as safety glasses and hearing protection. The laser beam can damage the eye and harm hearing. Make sure the work area is neatly tidy and free of obstructions. Always use the recommended protective gloves and other protective equipment. Never use the laser near flammable materials or explosive substances. Always turn off and disconnect the laser from the power supply when not in use. Always keep the laser beam away from yourself and others. Follow all instructions and regulations given in the laser operating manual. Provide adequate ventilation to reduce the risk of smoke and toxic gases. If you are unsure how to use the laser safely, contact a qualified professional or the laser manufacturer.

Which process gases are used in laser fine cutting?

Commonly used process gases for laser cutting are oxygen, nitrogen and argon. In laser fusion cutting or laser fine cutting, a reaction-inhibiting cutting gas (argon or nitrogen) is forced into the kerf at high pressure. The cooling gas avoids oxidation at the cutting edge. Compared to oxygen, argon and nitrogen have an advantage: they do not react with the molten metal in the kerf and shield the cut surface from the surrounding material.

Machine setup: laser fine cutting vs laser cutting

Precision laser cutting systems have more exact tolerances and higher positioning accuracy compared to classic laser cutting centers in mechanical engineering. This is due to the design and the integrated path measuring system: In laser fine cutting systems, the axes are equipped with water-cooled linear direct drives, which are monitored live via a glass scale on each axis and readjusted if necessary. In addition, in HAILTEC's laser fine cutting center all systems are regularly checked and calibrated by means of a ballbar test.

What is the difference between laser cutting and laser fine cutting?

Precise and fine laser fine cutting works with pulsed laser energy. This produces high pulse peak powers and power density on the surface of the workpiece . The high power density melts and vaporizes the material. The quality of laser fine-cut components is particularly important: laser fine-cutting works almost burr-free up to a material thickness of one millimeter. Generally speaking, the accuracy of laser cutting and laser fine cutting is better in a ratio of 1:5 to 1:10.

Laser beam or waterjet: Which cutting process is ideal for you?

Together, we look at which technology brings the best results for you: laser fine cutting, micro waterjet cutting or ultra-short pulse micro laser cutting. The choice depends heavily on the material and the desired result. Laser fine cutting is often recommended for thin sheets and 2D as well as 3D shapes, while micro waterjet cutting and the UKP laser cut sensitive materials and complex geometries without thermal stress. Thanks to the exceptional range of technologies, you benefit from the optimal manufacturing process in every case.

What is the advantage of laser material processing?

Laser material processing is a technique used for the production of high-precision metal parts as well as for surface finishing. The technique is based on the use of a high-energy laser that heats the material to be processed and thus cuts it. Laser material processing is a very precise and clean processing method that is also suitable for complex shapes and structures. Since no mechanical tools are used, laser material processing does not create any residue or contamination of the material and is therefore very process reliable and repeatable. Laser material processing is a very flexible processing method, as it can be used for both series and individual parts. Laser material processing can also be used to introduce surface structures into the material that would not be possible with other processing methods.
