High Quality Plasma Cutting and Laser Cutting Technology

Experimental Study of the Effect of Laser-Cutting Process Parameters on Heat Distribution and Cutting Edge Quality of Steel Sheets

This study aimed to evaluate Laser-cutting process of Mild Steel St37 sheets with two different thicknesses. In order to evaluate the quality of cutting edge and the depth of the area affected by the heat, several tests were conducted to determine the effect of parameters such as Laser power, Laser beam movement speed and pressure of axillary gas on the quality of cutting edge and the depth of ...

High Speed Thin Metal Cutting using Fiber Laser Technology

There are several methods available for precision cutting of thin metals less than 0.06-inch thick used for these applications, which include materials such as stainless steel, titanium, nickel, and aluminum. The major options, lasers, electric discharge machining (EDM), water-jet, and chemical machining each have a role to play. However, precision fiber laser cutting technology is now emerging...

AE signals as laser cutting quality indicators

The paper presents results of an analysis of acoustic emission (AE) signals obtained during laser cutting of a steel plate, which is frequently used in the production of automotive body components. The acoustic emission in the plate, which is produced by various physical phenomena occurring during the laser cutting process, was measured with contact PZT sensors. During the laser cutting process...

LASER CUTTING PARAMETERS The laser cutting parameters are dependent on the beam characteristics, the cutting rate

The laser cutting parameters are dependent on the beam characteristics, the cutting rate required, the composition and thickness of the material to be cut, and the desired cut edge quality. The laser cutting process and cut quality depend upon the proper selection of laser and workpiece parameters. Deficiencies in cutting quality may be related to the slow process drifts and disturbances that a...
