Laser Cutting

This CO2 laser can cut plate up to 1” thick x 13' wide and 50' long. The burning bed is 185-feet long which allows continuous cutting without lost time during loading and unloading. This machine has a cutting tolerance of .006” per meter. Closer fits mean less weld distortion and, therefore, a fairer hull with less radiated noise (end result is less cost on product). With a burn kerf of only .030”, there is very little extraneous heat put into the cut part, minimizing distortion and the heat affect zone. Many parts that had to be punched or drilled using other cutting processes can now be laser cut. We can successfully cut aluminum (to .38") and Stainless (to .63").

Accuracy must begin at the piece/part level if you are expecting a precise final product.
