How do we do it?

The Bystronic 20kW

Our 20 kilowatt fiber laser has given us a significant increase in power over earlier machines. The leap in output against the previously available 15 kilowatt lasers has given us an average increase in productivity of 40% for medium thickness mild steel and stainless steel sheets.

We are now able to cut thicker materials much more reliably whilst achieving excellent cut quality and reduced burring. In particular, we have seen exceptional cutting results on mild steel up to 30mm, stainless steel and aluminium up to 40mm and copper and brass up to 15mm.

The 20 kilowatt machine retains all the high-precision technology of earlier machines whilst now automatically selecting the correct parameters for the parts being cut. Its enhanced technology, high quality cutting head and intelligent cutting process enable us to achieve the highest levels of quality even in demanding applications, resulting in laser cutting results for our customers that complement our world class service levels.

High Precision Cutting

The high precision technology in our Bystronic Fiber lasers is not just suited to large and high-volume applications. We can just as easily cut delicate or intricate shapes, sometimes with unexpected applications, such as jewellery charms, leaves and flowers for decorative artworks or cogs and washers for clocks. The possibilities are almost limitless.

The power of Mixed Gases

Using mixed gas in metal laser cutting offers a plethora of advantages. Firstly, it enhances cutting quality by minimizing oxidation, resulting in cleaner edges, crucial for materials like stainless steel and aluminum.

Secondly, mixed gases enable increased cutting speeds by optimizing laser efficiency, thus reducing processing times. Moreover, they contribute to a smaller heat affected zone (HAZ), mitigating distortion and warping, particularly beneficial for thin or heat-sensitive metals.

Mixed gases provide versatility, allowing tailored combinations for various materials and thicknesses, thereby optimizing cutting performance.

Bystronic 10 & 12kW

Our 10 and 12 kilowatt fiber lasers are the machines that we rely on for our mid-range work, typically using steel sheets in thicknesses between 3mm and 15mm.

These workhorse machines allow us to cut both high and low volumes of parts quickly, flexibly, and cost-effectively, enabling us to keep our delivery times short and our customer service levels high.

The reliability and low maintenance costs of the Bystronic lasers give us that competitive edge. Couple this with the fact that we have 3 lasers of varying power outputs, giving our production facility an excellent balance, and you can see why our customers rely on us to deliver exactly what they need when they need it.
