When it comes to cutting fabricated sheet metal, one of the best technologies that companies can use is known as laser profiling. There are many benefits to doing it this way. Here are just a few of them.
Extremely Precise
When a laser is used to cut fabricated metal, the laser is focused to pinpoint accuracy. The cutting has been measured to be hundreds of times more accurate than even plasma cutting technology. There are several industries where this type of precision cutting is needed on an exclusive basis, including the aerospace industry.
Reduced Lead Times
Lasers are a preferred method to use in metal fabrication because there is virtually no setup time to consider. Since the laser cutter can be easily adjusted, there are no modifications or adjustments that need to be custom-made for the tooling. Laser tools also require far less maintenance than do traditional cutting tools. This helps to keep operational costs low.
Complex Cuts
No matter how complex the cut needed is, a laser profiling tool can get the job done. The laser can be used in even the smallest of spaces and doesn’t warp the metal at all.
Less Waste
When using a laser to do your cutting, there is much less sheet metal being wasted. If an operator can properly nest the designs, they can use virtually all of the sheet metal being worked on. This not only saves time but saves money as well.
