Application - Laser Cutting

Laser cutting has a number of application areas, particularly in industrial manufacturing where a higher output is required but is also used in schools, aerospace (e.g. high-strength components which can withstand the pressures of outer space) the military and in small businesses. Systems for cutting with lasers are used in a wide range of industries such as cutting stents in the medical industry, cutting parts to shape in manufacturing and industrial settings, cutting silicon for solar cells and semi-conductors as well as cutting of gems (even diamonds) for use in the jewellery industry.

Once a Fiber Laser has been used to cut, organisations will never revert back to traditional techniques. These are often much slower, involve costly tooling charges, can struggle to cut very thick materials and often entail lengthy process set-up times. Laser cutting processes also typically consume much less power than traditional cutting techniques and also waste much less material so could be a bona fide part of reducing an organisation’s carbon footprint.

The whole laser cutting process is non-contact, which in itself has multiple benefits including reduced downtime and increased profits due to lower personal injury risk, no “wear and tear” of moving parts and no material damage due to contact.

SPI Lasers equipment is able to cut through a variety of materials with a high level of speed and efficiency, all while maintaining perfect quality, to leave a smooth edge finish with any material that it cuts. Whatever your cutting application, the SPI laser range of Pulsed and CW Fiber Lasers will be perfect for the task. Our range is adept at the absolute precision cutting of even the finest of materials and is able to cut a wide range of materials of differing thicknesses.

Laser cutting to ensure smooth edge finishes while maintaining the efficient speed and production rates can be easily achieved with the correct power Fiber Laser, even reflective metals can be effectively cut with pinpoint accuracy. Trust SPI Lasers to supply very high-quality Fiber Lasers which will improve operational efficiency. Also, buy one of SPI’s fiber laser range and use it for a variety of other applications too such as marking, drilling, welding, engraving and much more!
