Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Service

Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Service

We are experts in the field of Youlin® Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Service. Sheet metal laser cutting is one of metal profiling processes. It directs a high-powered laser through optics to cut materials for industrial applications. Laser cutting is both more precise and less energy-consuming than plasma cutting, but has an upper threshold on the thickness of the material being cut. Youlin offers both fiber and CO2 lasers that can cut many materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and exotic alloys. CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser excels at cutting, engraving, and boring metals, while fiber laser is a good option for thicker materials.

Product Detail

1.How does Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Work?

Sheet Metal Laser Cutting ServiceLaser cutters are CNC machines that use a thin, high-powered laser beam to cut materials. The process is most often used in industrial manufacturing. Laser cutters are commonly used for quality welding and to cut industrial sheet metal, but laser cutters can also be used for other materials from composites to rubber, glass, wood, and aluminum.


Our Youlin® Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Service products have been recognized by our customers with advanced production technology and good quality.

Laser focusing optics are used to direct electrical energy into a high-density light beam, and CNC is used to manage either the workpiece or the laser beam. The material processed by the laser cutter is then melted, burned, vaporized, or blown away by a jet of oxygen or nitrogen.


2.Advantages of Sheet Metal Laser Cutting

Durability
Similar to CNC machining, sheet metal processes produce highly durable parts well-suited for both functional prototypes and end-use production.

Scalability
All sheet metal parts are built on-demand and with lower setup costs compared to CNC Machining. Depending on your needs, order as little as a single prototype up to 10,000 production parts.

Material Selection
Choose from a variety of sheet metals across a wide range of strength, conductivity, weight, and corrosion resistance.

Rapid Turnaround
Combining the latest cutting, bending, and punching with automated technologies, Youlin provides instant sheet quotes that can often ship the same week.


3.General Tolerances of Sheet Metal Laser Cutting

Description

General Tolerance

Distance Dimensions

For features of size (Length, width, diameter) and location (position, concentricity, symmetry) +/- 0.010” is typical. Material length and thickness may affect tolerances.

Thickness Dimension

Thickness tolerances are determined by the material blank.

Minimum Recommend Part Size

1.000"

Minimum Feature Size

2X material thickness with a minimum of 0.062"

Kerf (slit size)

Approximately 0.020"

Edge Condition

Laser cut parts will have a matte, vertical striation on the edges.


4.Applications for Plastic Injection Automation

We can put your laser-cut parts through finishing to remove all burrs, round part edges, and eliminate most or all prep work required for welding and painting.


Sheet Metal Laser Cutting ServiceBending & Forming
We can handle any number of bends, including interior "window" bends that require sectionalized tooling.


Sheet Metal Laser Cutting ServiceWelding & Assembly
We can offer MIG and TIG services on all materials we process.


6. FAQ

Q: How thick of metal can a laser cutter cut?
A: Common industrial systems (≥1 kW) will cut carbon steel metal from 0.51 – 13 mm in thickness. For many purposes, a laser can be up to thirty times faster than standard sawing.

Q: Which laser sources can be used to sheet metal laser cutting?
A: Generally, both CO2 and fiber laser sources have the ability to cut metal. However, metals like steel and ferrous materials are easier to cut than light or non-ferrous metals like copper or aluminum.

Q: How accurate is laser cut steel?
A: The short answer is yes, incredibly accurate. In fact, its accuracy is one of its best advantages over other cutting forms. You can use a laser cutter to make extremely accurate cuts, and the finished product will be smooth and clean.
