Laser cutting thin metal custom parts

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Our IR laser cutting services are ideal for a wide range of applications, but offer us some unique challenges.  When laser cutting metals, it is very important to identify more than just power and speed settings.  The path of the laser and order of the cuts can be critical to the success of each particular custom part.  Our laser operators have years of experience manipulating the settings and adjusting for detailed artwork, which helps us to stay ahead of the curve in the lase cutting services marketplace.  I believe we have some of the best laser cutting equipment available for high precision custom parts, but our technicians really make the difference.  They help us to make sure the tight tolerance and high quality work our customers expect get shipped out every time.

Laser micromachining flat springs 2

Monday, April 12th, 2010

We have seen many flat spring designs that are ideal for our laser cutting services.  The size and intricacy of the patterns requires a cutting method that holds tight tolerances, has little thermal influence, and can complete small radii.  Our laser cutting experience is valuable here, because it goes beyond equipment to the talent of our CAD and laser operating team.

Our laser cutting service customers have a range of needs and each material is selected for specific characteristics.  Our laser operators are trained to recognize the variety of materials and adapt their laser settings to achieve the highest quality cuts possible.

Laser cutting thin metal parts

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Our laser cutting service produces thin metal parts for a very wide variety of industries.  Laser cutting metal presents intersting challenges and requires a solid knowledge of the heat acceptance levels of each particular metal.  This greatly affects the cut paths and laser speeds an operator can use to achieve the highest quality possible.  Our laser cutting engineers have years of experience working with and trouble shooting intricate designs for metals from stainless steel to berylium copper to platinum.  Bring us your tough designs and we’ll show you the full capabilities of our laser cutting service.

Laser cut micro washers are ideal when working with ultra thin materials.  Our laser cutting service provides the benefit of zero material distortion or warping through contact free processing.  Additionally, we are able to control heat affected zones by carefully planning cut paths.  Laser cutting of multiple diameter rings can be done all at once through CAD design to save both time and money.  A-laser’s laser cutting service is equipped to provide customers with the highest quality in the most efficient manner possible.

Laser cutting vs. die cutting

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Laser cutting services face perception challenges versus other non-laser cutting services, such as die cutting.  Die cutting can be a very useful tool for many companies when producing a high volume of one part number.  Laser cutting services, though, can easily be more cost effective for small volume runs and when part numbers are regularly changing.  A-laser’s laser cutting service is ideal for high precision needs and multiple PN’s, especially for companies that see a wide range of designs.

Laser cutting services for Universities

Monday, October 12th, 2009

A-laser has become a preferred laser cutting service of a number of university engineering departments.  Our equipment sets us apart initially, but our customer service is found to be at least as valuable.  The laser operators are cutting specialists and are used to problem solving tough jobs.  We take a teamwork approach to protoype jobs regardless of the size or nature of the work.  In some cases we’ve brought the customer into the shop to work with our engineers and understand our process.  Each of these characteristics makes us a valuable partner for higher education.  A-laser is a unique laser cutting service in many aspects, first and foremost because of our commitment to learning all we can about the wide range of applications for our laser cutting equipment.
