Although our lasers can process thicker material, our optimal thickness in steel & stainless steel is 0.060”.

We also can process aluminum up to ¾” and copper up to 3/16” thick. We have cut up to 1” Steel but prefer the cut off to be 3/8”

Steel, Galvanized Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Treadplate, Aluminized, Perforated, Rigidized, Carbon Fiber, Tungsten and Titanium.

Each type of laser has benefits. Our 5K fiber lasers are 2-3x faster than a C02 laser in materials .25” or thinner with a superior edge condition. A C02 laser can cut thicker materials more efficiently. The fiber laser can also cut highly reflective materials. Cutting reflective material on a C02 laser can cause premature wear of the mirrors that guide the beam. A fiber laser does not have mirrors and relies on a fiber optic cable to deliver the beam.

We have agreements in place where we process and ship orders within 3 days. Others might take 2-4 weeks. It depends on the materials needed and if there is any painting or plating involved. With some good planning we can work out a delivery schedule that meets your needs.

We can do low volume prototyping, usually as pre-production runs. However, repetitive volume is what fits our equipment best since everything is CNC controlled and we have material handling automation.

While this takes slightly longer to set up, we make up for it with speed and repetitive accuracy.

Yes, we have cut perforated material and expanded metals before. While it is not the most efficient, it can be done.

We do not cut plastic or wood with our lasers due to the fire hazard involved when also processing metals.

We have several CMM's, including a Romer Arm. We also have a Virtek Laser Scanner that quickly inspects flat patterns in a matter of seconds.
