As well as laser cutting mild steel, zintec, galvanised steel, copper, brass and stainless steel sheet metal work our Trumpf 3030 3KW fibre laser is more than happy to cut aluminium sheet metal. The laser cutter can cut all commercial grades of aluminium with or without plastic peelable plastic films up to 6mm thick. Here at V and F Sheet Metal we tend to find that our customer base requires us to laser cut 5251, 1050A and 6082 aluminium alloy grades which seems to suit most commercial requirements.
Fiber laser cutting for sheet metal components presents a cutting-edge solution with several distinct advantages. Firstly, fiber lasers excel in precision, enabling intricate designs and complex patterns with minimal material waste. The technology’s high cutting speeds contribute to enhanced productivity, ensuring efficient production processes. Fiber lasers also exhibit versatility by effortlessly handling various metal thicknesses and types, from thin sheets to thicker materials. Furthermore, the process is characterized by its energy efficiency, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. The non-contact nature of fiber laser cutting minimizes tool wear, leading to longer equipment lifespan. In essence, fiber laser cutting offers a potent combination of precision, speed, versatility, efficiency, and sustainability for sheet metal fabrication.
We have shown below just a small range of the parts we have laser cut recently and more will be added over time to show off the versatility of the Trumpf fibre laser cutting machine.
