Fiber laser cutting technology delivers world-class quality and consistency in metal cutting. Our 2000 watt fiber laser can cut ferrous and non-ferrous metals with ease in thicknesses up to 0.500" thick for mild steel, 0.187" thick for stainless steel and 0.250" thick for aluminum. Alternating transfer tables hold sheets up to 60" x 120", and allow for loading and unloading while the machine is cutting.
In this video, we’re cutting a 0.187” thick steel mounting bracket for a piece of industrial cleaning equipment. We ship 500-1000 brackets per release throughout the year. This particular bracket shown is made of cold rolled steel, and is cut to a tolerance of +/- 0.003” on all dimensions.
Advantages of Fiber Laser Cutting with E.H. Schwab:
- Our two alternating 60” x 120” tables can process large sheets quickly and economically. One is loaded and unloaded while the other is cutting.
- We offer unparalleled high parts production and first-class cutting quality,depending on laser power for thin to medium-thick sheet metal
- The fiber laser’s energy efficiency means very low power consumption compared to traditional CO2 machines
- Fiber laser cutting means lower operating costs, since minimal energy is used and less laser gas is required.
- Fiber laser cutting offers high flexibility. Even non-ferrous metals can be processed easily, with excellent quality.
- A sleek, compact design means minimal floor space.
