Benefits of Laser Cutting

There are many advantages to laser cutting, not just for us but also for our clients. Below, we have listed some of the key reasons:

  • Our machines run 24 hours, 7 days a week, because our laser cutter doesn’t need to be monitored overnight. This means that we are able to accommodate our clients’ needs no matter what the time of day. Furthermore, we are also able to keep our production costs as low as possible by keeping overheads low.
  • Our material handling automation facilities are able to greatly reduce the time it usually takes for changing metal between productions. We don’t need to do any manual changes as the machine does all of the hard work for us.
  • Our laser cutters, provide some of the fastest and most accurate metal cutting in the business. In fact, it’s so efficient, that our costs are kept low and transferred back to our clients.
  • We have no physical contact with the metal during the cutting process. This means that we greatly reduce the risk of marking and distortion during production.
  • Our “Ventis” machine is one of only a very few in the country! It provides the best possible cutting quality of a fibre laser on the market at incredible speeds

    Background on Laser Cutting

    The history of laser cutting began shortly after the discovery of laser technology, developed at the end of the 1950s by Gordon Gould, Charles Hard Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow. This was based upon successfully attempts to concentrate radiation emission of visible light, and the discoveries were published in the 1959 by Gould titled THE LASER, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

    How it works?

    Laser cutting works by finely directing a laser beam onto a material surface for cutting or engraving. A beam that's emitted from a 'laser tube' is focussed by the use of several mirror reflections sending the beam up towards to 'laser head' in a similar fashion to a periscope. This leads to a lens that further focuses the beam onto the desired material to cut or engrave.

    The amount of material cut or engraved by the laser is defined by the kerf. This is the width of cut or groove made by the particular process and will vary depending on the material used. It can also be affected by the laser beam tolerance which determines the initial width of the beam. At Yorkshire Profiles, we have some of the latest laser cutting machines and can offer an incredibly fine tolerance in our machinery.

    There is a massive history behind laser cutting and the way it has been developed over the last 5 decades or so. Without advanced developments back in the 60's-70's, we wouldn't be where we are today. With that being said, we have a lot to be thankful for!
