Laser Cut Copper

Laser cutting of nonferrous metal processing of highly reflective materials.

Laser cut copper.

Laser cutting copper is a subtractive manufacturing technology that uses a high power laser beam to cut flat sheet materials. Copper is a highly reflective metal therefore making it troublesome for a lower wattage co2 laser source to penetrate or pierce the material. Fiber lasers have an emission wavelength of around 1 07 µm compared to 10 6 µm for traditional co 2 alternatives. Due to their reflective properties laser cutting delicate materials such as copper brass was a difficult process using co2 technology.

The high precision laser vaporizes a cut line through the copper leaving a 90 degree high quality cut edge finish. A computer directs this laser to follow the cutting line provided in your digital design. Copper laser cutting engraving the fibercell laser system has the capability to process a wide variety of metals including copper. Copper alloy metals are alloys with the base component copper.

Aluminum magnesium brass copper bronze titanium zirconium nickel silver gold platinum tantalum zinc or tin are examples for non ferrous metals that can be cut with a laser. We serve a wide range of industries including the automotive aerospace heavy equipment military agricultural medical and power generation industries. Not only is the 1 07 µm laser light. As fibre laser cutting technology has progressed so have its capabilities meaning we are now able to laser cut copper up to 12mm brass up to 15mm without any burrs or defects.
