Computerised laser cutting equipment
USING computerised laser cutting equipment, laser cutting technology from Advanced Cutting Technology is able to produce accurate finishes, even for intricate designs.
The company provides quality and service geared to produce the highest standard of laser cutting. With three laser cutting machines and over 40 years combined experience, Advanced Cutting Technology’s staff say they will deliver pleasing results.
The capability of Advanced Cutting Technology’s equipment is extensive. They can cut a diverse range of materials, including mild steel, high carbon steel, wood and board, aluminium, acrylics, polypropylene and titanium among others.
They can also cut stainless steel with nitrogen to give a clean, bright cut with an oxide-free edge, ready for welding.
With Advanced Cutting Technology’s new 3D Laser Cutting Machine, they can cut formed components and shapes, including six axis rotary cutting of tube, pipe, RHS and bevelling of mild steel and stainless steel plates.
Benefits of laser cutting technology include:
* Accuracy.
* Small production runs of blanks without the procurement time or cost of press tools.
* Duplication of large blanks without the risk of marking up errors.
* Economical use of materials.
* Profiles from materials normally difficult or impossible to cut.
* A cut edge requiring little or no further finishing.
* The profile programme costs less than 0.5% of die cost.
* No die storage or maintenance.
* Minor design changes cost little compared with the cost of changes to hard dies.
* Parts can be closely nested to save material.
* Short runs are "off tool" quality and competitive when all hand operation costs are considered.
* Special materials can be used which are difficult or impossible to cut by other methods.
* Special service when time is critical.
