Choosing your Sheet Laser Cutting

A metal sheet cutting solution for simple to complex contours. The configuration is selected based on material, thickness, sheet size, production target, and loading requirements.

Four factors that determine the configuration

Laser power alone does not determine the right machine. Work area, material, production flow, and facility support must also be assessed.

1. Material and cutting thickness

The material types and both the most common and maximum thicknesses to be processed.

2. Sheet size

Standard material dimensions and the largest component determine the required work area.

3. Production target

Volume, design variety, shift pattern, and target cutting time should be defined.

4. Loading and unloading flow

Factory space, material handling, and automation plans influence the table configuration.
