Advantages of Laser Processinga

General

A laser is a tool which never gets blind

The process takes place without contact or tension

High positioning accuracy 

The heat affected area is small, therefore no material deforming

Quiet and clean

Light knows no inertia, high processing speed is possible without waiting after turning the machine on or off


Cutting and drilling

The cut is narrow, the evaporated material volume is minimal

Most of the time, no post-cut finishing is necessary 

Soft materials, for example rubber, are not deformed or damaged by the laser cut

Sheet metal in small series are less expensive than punching and milling

Difficult materials like asbestos and glass fiber are cut without leaving dust

Holes with very small diameters can be drilled

Very hard materials can be cut


Welding

Welding quality is comparable to electron beam, a vacuum is not necessary

Different types of metals can be welded together

Welding without additional material

Point welding on miniature pieces or parts


Hardening and Remelting

Hardening only takes places on the processed area

Quenching is not necessary

The laser beam can also be positioned on hard to reach places

It is possible to remelt special alloys, for example, to increase the corrosion stability and to reduce abrasion
