Laser Cut Metal Services – Steel Profiling/Cutting
About laser cutting
Laser cutting is to cut different materials especially steel metals with the help of laser beam. It is majorly used for industrial manufacturing applications, profiling metal connections for different equipment and structural parts. But now a day’s it also has been used for different purposes, such as wall art decoration, urban construction, auto-mobile manufacturing etc.
Why Laser cutting is getting popular in steel and metal cutting processes? Most is because of the reasons below.
Economic
High precision (up to +/- 0.05mm)
Rigorous cutting edge
Highly processing speed
Excellent cut quality
Less contamination
Auto and manually profiling options
CNC technology in
CAD connection
More material types
Small slot
Low transformations
Octal provide metal laser cutting services, which means we can cut steel plate, metal sheet as customized to different panels, screens, wall art etc. And before you are ordering this service, there are several things you need to know about laser cut metal technology.
Laser Cut Metal Material Types
What kind of material could be processed by laser cutting technology?
Yes, mostly laser cutting is used to cut mild steel (carbon and alloy steel) aluminum, stainless steel plates, metal sheets and other substances. We are listing steel material standard and grades for laser cutting so you can to decide what materials you prefer.
Cutting Thickness
Laser cutting method is best suited for cutting mild steel plate which has a thickness up to 1.25 inch (36 mm). After one inch, the cutting process will become difficulty and it need to be perfectly set which requires to configure each thing correctly. Like installing the material, checking the nozzle condition, beam quality, and gas purity. We know how to use laser technology to laser cut metal.
Laser cut metal tolerances
For different thickness of steels, different length and width tolerances standard will be applied, and normally as below:
• Steel thickness under 1.0mm, tolerances is +/- 0.12 mm.
• From 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm, tolerances allowed +/- 0.15 mm.
• From 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm, +/- 0.20 mm.
• 6.0 mm to 15.0 mm, laser cutting tolerances at +/- 0.25 mm.
• Up 15.0 mm to 20.0 mm, laser cut tolerances at +/- 0.75 mm.
Why laser cutting keeps material with precisely sizes
It’s not a fast process, especially on the mild steel, it looks like a burning process in which the extreme heat of the beam is used rather than the preheat flame. In this case, the speed is mainly maintained by keeping a check on the reaction of iron and oxygen. The precision of the laser cut metal is excellent. It creates a very tiny kerf width which helps in cutting even the precise contours as well as the small holes. With laser cutting, the edge quality is outstanding, with perfectly square edges and no or very little trash.
What products we can offer by metal laser cutting services
If you are looking for tight tolerances, cutting difficult profiles, high-speed cutting with precision, then laser cutting is your answer. We provide metal laser cutting services, which means we can do customized steel plate, sheet, panels as per the need of the customer for which we use Laser cutting process. Below the laser cut metal products and services we do:
• Laser cut sheet metal

And more other laser cut metal products or profiles, just name it or providing drawings, we will customize it.
Further more, we provide various type of laser cut metal parts to almost all the industries including, rail, wind, truck body, power generation, material handling along with others. We also use the same technology for process several products internally for sub-assemblies as well as for welded fabrications.
Various types of Laser cutting used by us
1. Flat Laser Cutting
The method uses programmed cutting to cut stationary metal parts with a 2-axis movement system. The lasers used in this process are highly advanced to provide high tolerance, accuracy, and speed to cut metal, stainless steel, metal alloys, aluminum and carbon steel.
With the help of flat laser cutting, we can make smaller kerf, provide better perpendicularity and use limited heat-affected areas to increase the accuracy on the challenging profiles and to fulfill specific requirements of the clients such as hole and flatness tolerances.
Earlier it was used to laser cut sheet metal, or laser cut metal panels into flat and formed sheet and plate components. But with the advanced laser technology, we offer laser cut metal parts for better fit and requires less assembly time for weldments and sub-assemblies.
2. Automated Steel Laser Cutting
It is a key point to make sure the production capacity in good steps, while to maintain with qualified products and good deliveries. So we use automated steel laser cutting to offer:
a. Laser cutting with CO2 using automated load/unload systems
b. Manual or AUTO processing for steel plate and sheet metal
c. 25 mm (1 inch) maximum cutting thickness
d. Production and inspection schedules with utmost perfection
e. Laser Tube Cutting Services
We are into providing bulk amount of processed tubes; therefore we use laser tube cutting technique, which gives us added value. Its mainly an automated process wherein 20 to 30 foot long raw stock is being processed by the equipment. It offers reduced costs on the machines, faster production, and better assembly.
The cutting process is mainly used to create precise end cuts as well as hole profiles which one gets from a 2D laser cutting.
We use laser tube cutting technology to provide better engineering assistance to our clients. It can be used to manufacture a new product or even to revise the previous one. We use this technology to supply laser cut tubes to various regions as well as industries.
f. Multi-axis laser cutting
It allows laser cutting of metal spinning, stamped components and formed parts. Along with this multi-axis laser cutting is used for laser welding on unique part designs. Multi-axis laser cutting can be used for cutting up to 5-axis abilities; we can provide the best engineering services with the flexibility to design as per their customer’s need and to meet the production requirements.
Our processes, people, and equipment provide all the due diligence so that when you use the metal parts for in your production line, they work properly and efficiently. So we are always providing high quality of laser cut sheet metal, laser cut steel, laser cut steel plate, laser cut metal panels, wall art, screens etc.
Why use laser cutting for steel processing?
With time and advancement in the technology, laser cutting has become quite popular for profiling sheet metals because of its high precision, processing speeds, and impressive cut quality. The technology can quickly cut through the steel along with other materials with utmost perfection which was not possible with the traditional methods of profiling technology.
We provide laser cutting services to various industries across the region. We use latest laser profiling technologies to offer our customers the best services with the full automated techniques.
Benefits of Laser Cut
Laser cutting can be defined as a manufacturing process which is used to eliminate the need for any other machining process to perform various engineering jobs which help you in saving a lot of your manufacturing costs.
Economic
It has several benefits if you compare it with plasma cutting or any other cutting technique. Since its more precise and use less energy to cut metals, it is widely used by the clients worldwide. The latest fiber laser machines have even made the cutting process more accessible to the manufacturers.
High precision levels
As said earlier, the precision levels along with the edge quality obtained with laser cutting machines are unparalleled and far better than the traditional cutting methods. This is because the laser beam doesn’t have any wear issues during the laser cutting process. It even enables us to cut the complex or more complicates shapes without needing any additional tools at the same or even faster speed as compared to any other cutting methods.
Less contamination
Using laser cutting technology makes sure that the workpiece contamination is being reduced to a greater extent and have various other advantages over the traditional metal cutting techniques.
Complexity workable
Laser cutting gives us the power to cut small holes even with the complex detailing without compromising the edge quality in the metal plate, sheet, box or tube.
More material options
With time, the demand for metal sheets, as well as other fabricated metals have evolved. Now people are looking for more engraved products or designs. Performing such tasks with the traditional methods is not easy. But with the use of laser cutting techniques, we can provide you the same piece of fabricated metal which you are looking for.
