A metal cutting laser in Oxnard is mainly a thermal process in which a focused laser beam is used to melt material in a localized area. A co-axial gas jet is used to eject the molten material and create a kerf. A continuous cut is produced by moving the laser beam or workpiece under CNC control. There are three major varieties of laser cutting: fusion cutting, flame-cutting, and remote cutting.
In
infusion cutting, an inert gas (typically nitrogen) is used to expel molten
material out of the kerf. Nitrogen gas does not exothermically react with the
molten material and thus does not contribute to the energy input.
In
flame cutting, oxygen is used as the assist gas. In addition to exerting
mechanical force on the molten material, this creates an exothermic reaction
which increases the energy input to the process.
The
material is partially evaporated (ablated) by a high-intensity laser beam,
allowing thin sheets to be cut with no assist gas.The laser cutting process
lends itself to automation with offline CAD/CAM systems controlling either
three-axis flatbed systems or six-axis robots for three-dimensional laser
cutting.
Improvements
in accuracy, edge square, and heat input control mean that the laser process is
increasingly replacing other profiling metal cutting in Oxnard techniques, such as plasma and
oxy-fuel. Many state-of-the-art laser machines on the market for cutting
purposes can be used to cut metals, woods, and engineered woods.For more
