To produce perfect cuts of materials, whether acrylic, metal, or plywood, while reducing energy consumption and waste, companies across various industries widely utilize laser cutting. Recently, many have abandoned manual cutting, discovering the superior precision of laser equipment. The process involves burning and vaporizing the material using a laser directed at the cutting point, simultaneously injecting gas.
Characteristics of Laser Cutting
Laser cutting has the fewest operational drawbacks, making it popular and widely used. This high-tech method produces flawless cuts, clean edges, elegant patterns, and truly straight lines. A key advantage is that this cutting line requires no subsequent processing. The laser beam is used with maximum focus, eliminating the possibility of any production waste. Furthermore, laser cutting allows for processing all types of metal products used in manufacturing. These include rusting and stainless steel, bronze and copper, glass, aluminum products, metal polymers, composites, and other materials. In addition to sheet metal, lasers excel at cutting other materials with completely different physical properties, such as acrylic, plywood, and PVC/PET. Laser cutting operates in such a way that the beam is unaffected by the manufacturing method or the material used. This means that the quality of the metal cutting is unaffected by the type of pipe, cross-section, thickness, or rolling temperature. The density of PVC, PET, acrylic, or plywood is also unimportant. The thermal properties of the material being cut do not affect the laser's performance – the high energy concentration directed to the cutting point produces a thin cut with equal force and precision. Remarkably, this method leaves no trace of scale behind. No mechanical impact is applied during the processing of the section on the product, eliminating even the slightest risk of material deformation. The laser cutting process takes minimal time and operates at high speed, making it the most productive among other methods.
The modern machines used by D&S allow for fast and precise laser cutting of pipes, with machine speeds reaching 600 meters per hour. The process proceeds more quickly if the product walls are thin. The piercing depth that can be achieved is up to 10 mm. These machines have a worktable surface measuring 2500 x 1500 cm. When compared to similar operations at similar companies, the average performance of most pipe companies is for products no longer than 8 meters with a depth of no more than 8 mm. The pipe fed to the machine may also have some limitations and must weigh no more than 20 kg per 100 cm of length. When calculating and analyzing the cost of laser cutting pipes, it's clear that thin-walled products are better and more efficient to cut using laser cutting. For thick-walled products, plasma cutting can be used. Similar advantages apply to plywood, acrylic, and other wood-based materials: no cutting marks, no need for edge finishing, precise pattern capture, perfectly straight lines, and a fast process. Cuts are produced by a focused beam that passes through a system of mirrors and enters a lens. From there, the beam, directed at the section of the product, burns the material in the desired direction. This process ensures perfectly straight cuts. Many automated machine models exist on the Russian and international manufacturing market. Many companies in Azerbaijan, and Baku in particular, offer laser processing services. Despite the relatively high price of high-tech equipment, D&S has production facilities with laser machines and state-of-the-art systems for processing products of the highest quality.
