Varieties of Laser Cutting Services

Laser cutting is a widely used metal fabrication practice used around the world.

Laser cuts are best suited for use in the manufacturing of products from a variety of materials including metals, acrylic, plastics and wood among others. Thanks to the highly precise cutouts resulting from the laser cuts that allow for effective entrenchment of deep, shallow and moderate cuts on diverse materials. Today, there are three types of laser cutting services Toronto you need to know before shopping for a service provider for your next project.

Carbon Laser Cutting

Carbon laser cutting involves the use of carbon beams in tracing cuts through “light” materials such as wood, paper, leather and glass among others. The specialty laser beam is generated from a mixture of gases, where carbon dioxide is a critical ingredient. By simulating the mixture through a beam of electrically charged surfaces, a cutting beam is generated. With the beam being highly charged, some charges are lost to the surrounding air making the laser weaker than comparatively all the other types of laser cutting services. Professional undertakings involving carbon laser often yield finely done finishes on edges that are smooth and devoid of unwanted extensions. 

Neodymium Laser Cutting

When blasted electronically, neodymium doped crystals give rise to strong laser beams that when directed on a surface lead to cuts being created. Since the blasting can barely be regulated on the number of collisions on the particles, the resultant beam has lower wavelength than the carbon lasers. With the low wavelength, the operational intensity of the neodymium laser beams is often higher and so can be used in cutting through think wood, plastics and metal. For the best results, be sure to work only with certified laser cutting services Toronto specialists.

Fiber Laser cutting

The use of fiber optics in magnifying the effect of laser beams is effected in this cutting technology. The resultant throughput of the process leads to the creation of universally high intensity laser beam that has a relatively smaller wavelength and high penetration power. As a consequence, the laser beam has potentially high cutting and penetration power making it best suited for cutting thick metals.

At the heart of modern laser cutting is a great technician, and at the heart of the process lies Metal-tronics, a specialist laser cutting services Toronto Company committed to excellence in all it does. We have machines in each class, so your project will be completed in your given time frame with the utmost satisfaction.
