Dymond Engineering & Metal Products Ltd
Dymond Engineering has high-speed laser cutting capabilities, allowing even the most intricate of patterns to be cut straight from drawings.
Competitive pricing: It is a priority of our estimators to generate the maximum yield from materials and drive down unit costs for you.
The Machinery: Mazak CNC laser – with the ability to cut detailed shapes in sheet metal and steel tubing up to gauge of 5mm thickness.
How it works?
By directing a highly intense light beam at an area of metal, melting it in controlled sequence.
The beam is created by electrically charging gas molecules, which ‘excites’ them (they bounce around) – causing a release of light energy. This light is focused via a series of mirrors onto a lens, which in turn directs the beam at an exact point on the metal – and so begins the cutting. All of this is controlled by an easily set up CNC program.
Benefits of CNC laser cutting:
- Precision and speed, as compared with alternative techniques such as punching.
- Compared to plasma cutting (normally used for thicker gauge sheet metals) there’s a lower risk of heat distortion in the metal – as lasers operate in a smaller spatial zone.
- Ability to cut a number of materials that would be extremely hard or impossible to cut otherwise.
