This blog explores the laser cutting process, its benefits, and why Stephens Gaskets is your go-to provider for precision laser cutting.
What is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting, derived from the term Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is a highly efficient method for producing high-quality products. At Stephens Gaskets, we use laser cutting to achieve unparalleled precision in creating custom and often complex shapes from metal and polymer sheets.
How Does the Laser Cutting Process Work?
At Stephens Gaskets, the laser cutting process involves a focused and precise laser beam that runs through the material, delivering an accurate and smooth finish. The process begins with the laser piercing the material at the edge, then continues along the desired path. The powerful laser beam melts the material away, allowing for intricate and precise cuts.
Highly Accurate and Economical
Laser cutting is a highly accurate process, enabling us to meet precise customer specifications. It is also extremely economical. For example, with laser cut steel, our advanced machinery calculates the exact number of pieces that can be cut from a steel sheet, ensuring minimal material waste and cost savings for our clients.
Benefits of Laser Cutting
Laser cutting offers numerous benefits for producing high-quality products at Stephens Gaskets:
- Minimal Damage: The lack of physical contact during laser cutting results in minimal to no damage to the parts.
- Low Maintenance: Laser cutting equipment requires minimal maintenance, and parts are inexpensive.
