Advantages of Laser Cutting
Laser cutting offers several benefits for many industries, ranging from precision, speed, repeatability, and flexibility. GCH’s laser cutting service help meet industry requirements in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
- High Precision Cuts: The light beam involved in laser cutting ensures high-precision melting and evaporation of materials, ensuring accuracy as low as 0.003mm.
- Maximum Sheet Utilization: The laser cutting technology maximizes the number of usable metal sheets and gives little room for wastage, ensuring that only the exact amount of material is provided.
- High Cutting Versatility: With advanced laser cutting operations, you can get custom laser cut parts with simple cuts, marking, engravings, and complex, intricate details.
- Low Power Use: Sheet metal laser cutters effectively cut out material pieces without consuming too much energy, often using just 10kW of energy.
- Little to No Damage: The heat from laser cutting processes affects very minimal areas on the component and has no effect on the tolerance of the laser cutting parts.
