In comparison to other cutting methods, laser-beam cutting has numerous advantages. It is a thermal procedure used predominantly in the treatment of metals as it enables the maintenance of tight tolerances even with on-line cutting, it is also quick and cost effective. At Welser we ensure complex 3-dimensional processing with a 5-axis laser cutting machine. We can thereby process material grades up to 8mm with steel, 5mm with stainless steel and lengths of up to 7,000mm. The most common steels can be cut without burring, so that subsequent de-burring becomes unnecessary. With the laser cutting process, several machining steps can be carried out simultaneously, such as pre-punching, post-punching and de-burring.
