What is laser cutting?
Coined from the words Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation laser cutting is instrumental in producing high quality products efficiently, here at Stephens Gaskets.
Moreover, Lasers are highly accurate and very powerful, which allows us to cut custom and often complex sheets of metal and polymer to create bespoke shims and gaskets. A huge range of materials and thickness sizes can be laser cut, making it a very amenable process.
How does the Laser Cutting Process work?
At Stephen gaskets the laser cutting process works by having a focused and precise laser beam run through the material that requires cutting, delivering an accurate and smooth finish. Initially, the laser will pierce the material with a hole at the edge. Then, we continue the beam along from there. The laser beam is so powerful it essentially melts the material away.
Highly Accurate
Laser cutting is a highly accurate process, which means we can offer solutions to very precise requests from our customers. It is also extremely economical – with laser cut steel the advanced machinery calculates the exact number of pieces that can be cut from the steel sheet, ensuring little or no material is wasted once the process begins.
