Laser cutting 1.2mm Zintec with a Trumpf 3030 fibre laser cutter
Fast Tube by Casper
Classic example of a thin sheet metal component being laser cut on our Trumpf 3030 fibre laser cutter from a 2M x 1M full sheet. The fibre laser cutter is using compressed air from a dedicated compressor supply as the assist gas to blow away the molten metal melted by the 3KW laser beam. With this material and gauge you can see just how fast the laser machine can cut and yet still produce a really clean edge that requires no edge de-burring as a secondary operation.
Laser cut metal sheet
Here’s the finished sheet of laser cut parts (the nest) with one removed to check how clean the cut is. The laser beam width being less that 0.5mm wide enables the components to be cut close together and features cutting with virtually no material waste. The best nest design is determined by our CAD/CAM software. It automatically nests the parts together but they can be moved around by the programmer when needed. More than one type of component can be nested on the same sheet to find better material usage when needed.
