The benefits of laser cutting are extensive when it comes to precision manufacturing at Stephens Gaskets. As one of the country’s leading suppliers of shims, washers, and gaskets, we strive to offer the most advanced manufacturing techniques for precision machined components. Our team has developed an in-depth understanding of specific manufacturing techniques to create the best possible mechanical solutions for you and your project.
What Is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is an advanced manufacturing process used to cut components into specific shapes and sizes. By using a laser controlled by computing technology, we can precisely cut sheet material. This process is useful in various industries, especially those requiring small or large-scale batches of the same product.
Stephens Gaskets Laser Cutting Services
At Stephens Gaskets, we stock mechanical components in various shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and materials to provide solutions for a broad range of clients. While we offer batches of pre-cut components, we understand that sometimes clients require non-generic sizes. Our laser cutter process is part of our bespoke service, where we create laser cut products tailored to the client’s specific requirements.
How Does Laser Cutting Work?
First, one of our expert team members will help you determine the most appropriate dimensions, including the size and material for your component. Once the measurements and materials are decided, we input them into our computerised technology, which controls the industrial laser cutter. The machine then directs the highly powerful lasers to cut through the sheet material, creating the desired shape and size of your components.
Benefits of Laser Cutting
The benefits of laser cutting make it one of the most reliable forms of precision machining. These benefits include:
- High Rate of Accuracy: Lasers are extremely accurate, guaranteeing flawless consistency throughout each component.
- Intricate Work: The process is precise and can create components in intricate sizes.
- Fast Turnaround: Lasers work quickly and efficiently, offering a fast turnaround without compromising on quality and accuracy.
- Economical: The machine calculates the optimal number of components that can be cut from the sheet, reducing material waste and keeping labor costs low.
- Versatile Batch Sizes: Laser cutting is suitable for both small and large batches of products, maintaining consistency across the board.
