Understanding Our Cutting Power
  • This presentation details the cutting performance of our advanced laser systems.
  • We will cover both Optimal and Maximum cutting thicknesses for various common industrial materials.
  • Use this guide to determine the right laser power for your specific application and production needs.
Optimal vs. Maximum Thickness: What's the Difference?
Represents the ideal balance of cutting speed, precision, and edge quality. This is the recommended thickness for high-quality, repeatable production runs, ensuring a clean and smooth finish.
Represents the absolute thickest material a given laser can sever. Cutting at this thickness may be slower and result in a rougher edge finish. It is suitable for jobs where edge quality is not the primary concern.
