Wide Range of Materials
Our laser cutting capabilities allow us to work with a wide range of metals across various thicknesses. Through trusted partnerships with expert laser cutting companies, we can accurately cut up to 30mm in stainless steel and aluminium, 25mm in mild steel, and other non-ferrous metals such as brass, copper, and titanium.
Using advanced Bystronic nesting software, our partners achieve exceptional precision, ensuring optimal sheet utilization and minimal waste for every project.
Extreme Flexibility
We have a fast turnaround of laser cut parts, usually around 5 days. The Bystronic laser's exceptional speed and remarkable flexibility enable us to effortlessly manage large series orders. No matter the material, the Bystronic cutting head delivers outstanding precision when working with both thin and thick sheets and profiles.

Sheet Metal Cutting
A wide variety of laser cutting systems are available on the market today. The Bystronic/IPG laser features a 10KW laser source that emits a beam, which travels via a fibre optic cable to the cutting head. Once there, the beam is concentrated through a sophisticated arrangement of optics within the head. The beam is precisely calibrated for each specific type and thickness of material.
LASER CUTTING
The laser employs high pressure nitrogen gas to propel the molten metal through the cut. The laser head is manoeuvred around the raw material with a system of linear drives. The energy supplied by the fiber source and the location of the cutting head are regulated by the nested profiles generated by CAD.
Laser cutting uses a powerful, focused beam of light which cuts the metal with unparalleled accuracy. The tolerance for laser cutting is much lower than that of plasma cutters or die cutting tools, making it a much more precise option.
Laser cutting is run by CNC (Computerised numerical control), which means that once the formulas have been entered into the machine, each part or product will be cut identically. This accuracy allows it to utilise a higher percentage of sheet metal, reducing your amount of wastage and overall costs.
Laser cutters can cut out many different shapes without changing your tools. This makes it a versatile tool that can cut multiple jobs out simultaneously as long as the sheet metal is the same thickness.
Due to the high speed of the laser cutter, heat is minimised in the surrounding material. This reduces the size of the heat affected zones (HAZs), meaning a lower chance of thermal damage to the nearby components.
Advantages
Laser Cutting has many advantages that make it the perfect choice for your sheet metal needs.

Fiber laser cutting machines are powerful and extremely precise; they can cut up to 5 times faster than a standard CO2 laser. They can also cut through reflective materials such as brass and copper without worrying whether the reflection will damage the machine.
Laser cutting is a precise machine cutting method; it is the easiest, fastest and most efficient way to cut any material. Laser cutting is controlled by computers which results in cuts with very low tolerances.
Our laser cutter is versatile and can cut different types of metal, including Steel, Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Brass and Copper.
We can also cut a range of parts from tiny pieces measuring only a few centimetres right up to large pieces that have been made into large tanks and hoppers. We are also able to cut intricate patterns and details out.
