We were recently asked to manufacture a one off small disk for a University project which was quite challenging for our laser. The main problem was that it was to be made out of thin mild steel. The disk had to have very narrow slots put in leaving only 0.2mm of material between each slot. […]
Capturing the moment when a 4Kw laser pierces mild steel is always spectacular. Capturing the moment the laser piercing steel always makes for good pictures. A 4Kw laser can very quickly pierce through mild steel. Close up of our “eco pierce” on 10mm thick mild steel.
This part was cut using only a single line. The heat from the laser cutting didn’t seem to affect the quality despite it being a lot of cutting in a 10mm mild steel plate. The narrowest part is only 1mm. This sample was manufactured using only 1 cut.
