Plate laser cutting gives clean, smooth edges that are effectively ready to weld. Compared with waterjet or plasma, there is far less cleanup and far less time lost to secondary operations before the part moves to forming.
Holes, alignment keys and custom profiles are cut in the same pass, which cuts assembly time and improves accuracy downstream. For material thicker than the laser envelope we run waterjet — steel to 4 in, aluminum to 8 in and stainless to 3 in.
