Metal Laser Cutting Machines | High-Precision Solutions by Tianchen

Thin metal sheet laser cutting, for materials generally under 3mm in thickness, emphasizes high speed, precision, and minimal thermal distortion. Fiber lasers are exceptionally well-suited for this task, capable of cutting thin sheets at speeds of tens of meters per minute. The key to successful thin sheet cutting is using high speed and relatively low power to limit heat input, which prevents the material from warping and maintains the integrity of fine features. Nitrogen assist gas is often used to produce clean, burr-free edges that may be ready for assembly without further finishing. This process is ideal for manufacturing components for electronics enclosures, appliance panels, decorative items, and shims. The narrow laser kerf allows for very tight nesting of parts on a sheet, maximizing material yield and reducing cost per part. Additionally, the laser can perforate or create micro-features without stressing the delicate material. The high processing speeds make it a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for high-volume production runs. Tianchen Laser's systems are equipped with features like high-speed piercing and advanced motion control to optimize throughput on thin-gauge materials.
