LASER BEAM MACHINING
ABSTRACT:
Laser beams when used for cutting can be broadly suitable for similar tasks. The technology can be considered for use in fabrication and sheet metal working departments to work alongside, and as a supplement to, existing press equipment.
Press tools (working on the shearing principle) are a very quick and efficient way to produce components from sheet or strip stock in large quantities, they are however time consuming to set up and expensive to tool.
By adding a laser beam machine to a company's plant list they will be in a much better position to be able to quote competitive prices and lead times for on-off and small production runs.
Laser machines have a significant advantage as being able to cut intricate shapes they are also able to weld with great precision.
Laser has a good life expectancy due to the absence of dynamic machining forces and metal-to-metal contact during the cutting process. The machine construction may be substantially lighter because of this, reducing the static loading and also the dynamic loading during positioning.
