One way they are used is for cutting metal plates. On stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum plate, the laser cutting process is highly accurate, yields excellent cut quality, has a very small kerf width and small heat affect zone, and makes it possible to cut very intricate shapes and small holes.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" title=\"Technology-lasercutting\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting-800x450.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/08\/Technology-lasercutting.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h3>Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>Laser cutting presents certain advantages over plasma cutting as this process is more precise and uses less energy when cutting steel and aluminium sheets. In addition, our latest Fibre laser machines, such as our 7Kw machine, are now approaching plasma machines in their ability to cut through thick materials.<\/p>\n<p>The precision levels and edge quality achieved with laser cutting machines are better than traditional cutting methods, as the laser beam will not wear during the laser cutting process. Laser cutting technology also enables us to cut complex shapes without the need for tooling and at a similar or faster speed than other cutting methods.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that laser cutting technology offers reduced contamination of the workpiece presents certain advantages over traditional mechanical cutting techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Laser cutting also allows us to cut small diameter holes with complex detail and good edge quality in either sheet, plate, tube or box section.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"parent":14,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"side-navigation.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-128","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":339,"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/128\/revisions\/339"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vichor.com\/laser-cutting-machines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
