At Southwest Fabrication, we put excellence and attention to detail at the heart of our work. That’s why we are constantly upgrading our equipment, investing in the latest technology to ensure we produce high quality results and value to our customers, every time.
We’ve recently enhanced our laser cutting workshop, adding the latest Amada laser to our fleet of premium machinery. This apparatus is crucial to cutting through metal with precision, producing minimal waste whilst achieving optimal results. Our range of equipment ensures a cleaner, faster production process, reducing costs in both time and material.
Why is laser cutting good?
Laser cutting machines cut through materials with a laser beam. This beam is focused and directed by a lens, allowing for a high degree of precision. These efficient machines can withstand varying thicknesses, cutting through a range of metals. Traditionally, cutting methods involve the use of a punch to stamp through the materials. Unlike this wasteful and messy process, laser cutting machines are clean and far more economical.
When it comes to precision, speed and efficiency, laser cutting machines are hard to beat. This new-age technology effortlessly cuts through a variety of materials, without leaving behind any jagged edges of imperfections. This makes these versatile machines the perfect addition to Southwest Fabrications, aiding our large quantity production processes.
Precision and versatility
Laser cutting machines can be used for a wide range of tasks, including:
- Cutting through metal: To cut through a wide range of metals, including ferrous and nonferrous steel, aluminium, and brass. This makes these machines ideal for use in a range of industries, from automotive to construction.
- Laser engraving: Instead of cutting through material, laser engraving machines burn images into the material’s surface. This is perfect for branding or for creating personalised designs on a range of materials.
The laser cutting machine is the most efficient and eco-friendly way to cut and engrave materials for precise results. In comparison with other equipment options, such as a water jet or a plasma cutter, the laser cutter achieves the best results in a fraction of the time.
