Depending on the customers' specifications Advanced Tech Machining ISO 9001:2015 Certified Fremont Machining Company will utilize either Precision Metal Laser Cutting or Metal Waterjet Cutting.
Laser Cutting and Waterjet Cutting are two popular methods for cutting metal with telltale differences between their operation:
Laser Cutting Explained
Laser Cutting uses a high-powered laser beam to melt or vaporize the metal, it can engrave materials as well as cut them. This means laser engraving can be done to add serial numbers, assembly marks or stylish touches. Laser Cutting is better suited for cutting thinner materials.
The laser beam melts, burns, or vaporizes the material, creating accurate cuts with minimal heat-affected zones. It uses a high-power beam of light (laser) to cut out flat and thin sheets of metals. The process is directed by optics and computer numerical control (CNC) technology, which accounts for the high precision of laser cut parts.
CNC Laser Cutting for Automated Accuracy and Precision
In CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Laser Cutting the forming process is guided by computer instructions to cut or engrave materials. This technique offers a high degree of accuracy and precision, capable of creating complex shapes and designs that would be almost impossible to achieve manually. It is commonly used in industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, Electronics, Medical, and Construction.
A design is created using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.
The CAD design is then converted into a CNC program using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software.
The chosen material is prepared and placed on the CNC machine’s work surface.
The machine is then set up according to the specific cutting requirements.
The CNC machine guides the laser beam along the programmed path, cutting through the material.
As the laser cuts, the material is cooled to prevent overheating and aid solidification.
After cutting, the parts are inspected for quality, and post-processing steps may be performed if required.
Metal Laser Cutting Benefits:
Laser cutting is ideal for sheet metal as the process is highly precise.
Because it is automated it can be used for mass production while delivering consistent results.
With CNC automation technology laser cutting is highly cost effective and keeps labor costs minimal.
Just flip the switch and the laser cutting machine will proceed without human input.
The process uses lasers, intense and focused beams of light that will cut cleanly.
Laser cutting machines can be programmed to create complex patterns.
Unlike other types of tools or machinery then lasers will not grow dull or have their quality or precision affected over time.
Lasers can cut through materials quickly, from 20-70 inches per minute depending on the tolerances and material in question.
Laser cutting is also much faster than other processes.
Waterjet Cutting 101
Waterjet Cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with an abrasive material to cut through the metal. This process is only for cutting. Waterjet Cutting is better suited for thicker materials and can be utilized for materials that are thermosensitive and reflective, which are not suited for lasers. Waterjet Cutting does not produce heat, making it useable for all materials.
Waterjet can be divided into pure waterjet and abrasive waterjet. Pure Water Jet Cutting is intended for softer materials such as wood, plastics and rubber. But when the water stream incorporates an abrasive such as titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, glass, ceramic or concrete, the cutting capabilities are enhanced and the tool can cut through hard metals.
CNC Waterjet Cutting: A Fully Automated, High-Precision Industrial Cutting Process
The waterjet is controlled with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology. CNC programs are pre-written for the particular part beforehand. CNC Waterjet is a fully automated, high-precision industrial cutting process.
For cutting soft materials, the force of the water is sufficient. For hard materials, the force of the water can lead to a slower cutting process. Abrasive material is added to the water stream to speed up the cutting action. The process is then called abrasive water jet cutting. CNC can control both pure and abrasive water jet cutting.
CNC Waterjet Cutting Uses in Different Industries and Sectors:
Aerospace
Waterjet cutting can create the niche parts required in the aerospace industry. The high precision of water jet cutting technology makes it an attractive option for the aerospace sector.
Automotive
Automotive industry relies on the waterjet cutting process to create precise and consistent parts. This includes everything from car frames to engine components.
Medical Devices
The Waterjet cutting machine makes surgical equipment and other medical devices. Waterjet creates clean and hygienic cuts, leading to great demand in the healthcare industry.
Electronics
The narrow thickness of waterjet cutting makes it ideal for use in the electronics industry. It commonly applies to cutting frame parts for electronic products like phones and smartphones.
Art and Sculptures
The customization offered by waterjet cutting makes it ideal for cutting art products. For instance, waterjet cutting can create sculptures and architectural installations.
Signage
Waterjet provides a smooth surface finish to the material along with superior edge quality. The signage industry uses these qualities to create brand logos, nameplates, signs, and more.
Food and Beverage
Water jet cutting is a no-contact technology. The high hygiene of the process makes it ideal for cutting food products and in the food packaging sector.
Waterjet Cutting Benefits:
Waterjet Cutting with an abrasive substance can cut metals, plastics, foam, composites, and more
The process does not increase the material surface temperature and compromising the internal structure of the material.
Waterjet Cutting can cut sharp corners, holes, and complex shapes with small inner radii; fast turnaround rates.
The process produces minimal material waste thanks to the precise cutting and the narrowness of the nozzle.
Waterjet can cut virtually any material, making it perfect for preparing material blanks to near-net shape.
The range of materials available, low cost per unit, and speed of production makes Waterjet a great option for prototyping.
Large format cutting, vast material options, and high throughput have made Waterjet a favorable technology for end-use parts.
