Precision laser cutting: The right choice for your filigree components
HAILTEC has been an expert in precise laser cutting in the field of micromachining with sheet thicknesses from 0.05mm - 3.00mm since 2005. For precise cutting we rely on modern pulsed single and multimode fiber laser sources from DMG MORI and Trumpf. These laser systems introduce very little energy into the material/part due to their technology. Low heat exposure means little distortion and allows filigree cuts in perfect quality . With our precision laser systems and modern beam sources we achieve reproducible fine cuts with spot sizes of 30µm and less. Depending on the sheet thickness, the tolerances are in the range of +/- 0.01 mm. As a reliable contract manufacturer, we not only take care of the cutting, but also deliver your parts with a fine satin finish and absolutely free of burrs.
With machine beds made of mineral casting as well as absolute length measuring devices (glass scale), our precision laser systems are temperature-stable and partially replace wire-eroded sheet metal cutting due to the linear direct drives. Coupled with intelligent process control, in which the power of the laser as well as the nozzle distance to the sheet metal is constantly adjusted and monitored during processing to the respective cutting feed, we thereby achieve contour accuracy. Another advantage of precision laser cutting with HAILTEC: Our laser systems are not classic "flatbed lasers", but havezero-point clamping systems thatallow very short set-up times . This becomes especially necessary for picking up pre-punched strips with press-in zones or for catching individual components.
Quality for your fineblanked parts
HAILTEC produces precision laser cut parts in perfect quality with the smallest tolerances. By using the latest laser technologies and automation systems, as well as our many years of experience, we can offer our customers precision laser-cut parts of the highest quality. The reproducibility is unbeatable with this technology and is 5 - 10 times more accurate than laser cutting: +/- 0.01 mm contour accuracy! "Lasercutting by HAILTEC" is ideal for industries such as medical technology and is also very economical.

Frequently asked questions about precision laser cutting
Can HAILTEC also do robotic precision laser cutting?
Robotic support enables us to be a reliable and economical partner for you, even for large quantities. With mobile robot cells, we run autonomous shifts and manufacture your large-volume orders even faster and more efficiently. Because accuracy is the measure of all things in precision laser technology - the combination of temperature-stable mechanical engineering, intelligent process monitoring in real time paired with automated placement by robots. This additionally ensures speed and throughput at HAILTEC.
What is the difference between laser cutting and precision laser cutting?
Precision laser cutting works with pulsed laser energy. This means that high peak pulse powers and a large power density are generated on the surface of the workpiece. Due to the high power density, the material is melted and vaporized. While "classic" laser cutting in CW mode cuts extremely fast, pulsed laser systems are suitable for delicate geometries and introduce very little heat to the workpiece. Lower heat, of course, means lower feed rates, but for laser-cut components focused on quality, the focus is on accuracy. The achievable tolerances of laser cutting to precision laser cutting are in the ratio of 1:5 to 1:10.
Is it possible to cut on filigree contours with precision laser cutting?
The pulsed laser beam heats the material only locally, the thermal load in the workpiece is low. The kerf is similarly narrow as the beam. Why is this important? It makes it possible to cut complex contours, smoothly and without burrs. This eliminates the need for time-consuming reworking. After precision laser cutting, satin finishing gives the workpieces a perfectly brushed surface.
Laser or water: Which cutting technology is ideal for you?
Together we will determine which technology will produce the best results for you: precision laser cutting, micro waterjet cutting or ultra-short pulse laser micro cutting. The decision depends heavily on the material and the desired result. Precision laser cutting is often recommended for thin sheets and 2D and 3D shapes, while micro waterjet cutting and the UKP laser cut sensitive materials and complex geometries without thermal stress. Due to the exceptional technology breadth at HAILTEC, you benefit from the optimal and economical manufacturing process in every case.
