CNC Laser Cutting Services
CNC laser cutting for accuracy and consistency
CNC laser cutting features in both our fabrication and sheet metal component projects. It offers accuracy, speed and versatility, enabling us to meet the diverse needs of our customers across various industries. This page explores the advantages of CNC laser cutting and the industries and customers we serve.
What is CNC laser cutting?
CNC (computer numerical control) laser cutting is a process that uses a high-powered laser beam to precisely cut, engrave or etch materials – in our case, metal. The laser beam is guided by computer-controlled machinery that follows exact specifications which ensures that the cuts are accurate and consistent. It’s ideal for creating intricate designs and complex shapes with minimal material waste.
The heat involved in laser cutting, however, means we have to use CNC punching for our aerospace customers.
When do we use CNC laser cutting?
There are any reasons why we opt for CNC laser cutting.
Precision and accuracy
One of the primary advantages of CNC laser cutting is its exceptional precision. The technology allows us to make intricate and detailed cuts with a tolerance as low as +/- 0.1mm. This level of accuracy is essential for projects that require exact dimensions and high-quality finishes, such as in our architectural metalwork. We also use it to produce intricate designs and contours – it’s great for complex shapes, curves and small features.
Speed and efficiency
CNC laser cutting is known for its speed, making it an efficient solution for some of our large-scale production runs. The automated nature of the process ensures that we can quickly and consistently cut a customer’s complex designs, thereby reducing lead times and increasing productivity. The time to set up is fast so we can automate laser cutting really quickly. And at a rapid 10,000 hits per minute (compared to punch pressing at 1,000 hits per minute), we can work within some impressive timescales.
Versatility
The versatility of CNC laser cutting allows us to cut a wide range of metals for a variety of applications. Because we can cut almost any shape out of metal sheets as thick as 25 mm, it’s ideal for industrial components and architectural metalwork as well as intricate, decorative items.
Minimal material waste
The precision of CNC laser cutting reduces material waste, as the laser follows the exact cutting path with minimal deviation. This not only helps Alroys to save on material costs but also contributes to our sustainable manufacturing practices.
Quality of finish
Another reason we value the laser cutting process: the quality of the finish. It can produce clean, smooth edges with minimal burring and low rates of distortion. Also, the lack of physical contact or use of force leaves no tool marks or surface scratches. This reduces the time we need to spend on additional finishing processes. So, we can produce high-quality components, ready for use or assembly, almost straight from the cutting machine.
The industries and customers we serve
CNC laser cutting is ideal for a number of our customers across a diverse range of industries in the UK, and each has their own unique requirements and challenges. For example:
Construction
In the construction industry, precision-cut metal components are essential for creating structural elements, architectural features and decorative details. We’ve used CNC laser cutting services to produce steel beams, brackets, panels and other components that meet the strict specifications required in construction projects.
Electronics
We can use CNC laser cutting to create enclosures, circuit boards, and other components with intricate designs and tight tolerances. The precision of laser cutting ensures that these components fit together perfectly, contributing to the overall reliability and performance of electronic devices.
Signage and display
Our CNC laser cutting services are also used for signage where custom-designed signs, letters, and logos are required. The ability to cut materials such as acrylic, wood, and metal with high precision allows is to create eye-catching, durable signs that meet the branding needs of businesses.
