Laser Engraving Machine for Metal: High-Precision, Durable Engravings

A laser cutter for metal sheets has many applications because it is capable of cutting metal sheets of various thicknesses and materials. It accomplishes this by pointing a laser beam onto the metal sheet, which is energy rich. The beam makes the metal sheet hot enough to melt or turn into gas, and an assist gas such as nitrogen blows away any molten or vaporized metal, achieving a clean cut. Steel, aluminum, copper, and their alloys are all compatible with these types of laser cutters. The accuracy with which these machines cut is set at extremely high levels, meaning that even intricate patterns with thin vertical walls and rounded corners are possible. Fibber laser cutters and CO₂ laser cutters are just a few examples of laser cutter types that differ based on laser source. High energy density fibber lasers cut through thick metal sheets extremely fast and at very high precision. CO₂ lasers do a good job with some metals and thinner sheets, but can’t cut thick sheets. Price is determined by power, brand, and additional features for these types of laser cutters for metal sheets.
