How do we do it?

The Bystronic 20kW

Our 20 kilowatt fibre laser has given us a major increase in power compared with earlier machines. The leap in output over the previous 15 kilowatt models has delivered an average productivity boost of 40% on medium-thickness mild steel and stainless steel sheets.

We can now cut thicker materials more reliably while achieving excellent cut quality and reduced burring. In particular, we have seen outstanding results on mild steel up to 30mm, stainless steel and aluminium up to 40mm, and copper and brass up to 15mm.

The 20 kilowatt machine retains all the advanced technology of earlier systems but now automatically selects the correct parameters for each part. Its enhanced design, high-quality cutting head, and intelligent cutting process allow us to achieve exceptional quality even in demanding applications. The result is cutting performance that matches our world-class service levels.

High Precision Cutting

The high-precision technology in our Bystronic fibre lasers is not just suited to large or high-volume applications. We can also cut delicate, intricate shapes with surprising applications. Examples include jewellery charms, leaves and flowers for decorative artworks, and cogs and washers for clocks. The possibilities are almost limitless.

The power of Mixed Gases

Using mixed gas in metal laser cutting offers a wide range of advantages. Firstly, it improves cut quality by minimising oxidation. This produces cleaner edges, which is crucial for materials such as stainless steel and aluminium.

Secondly, mixed gases increase cutting speeds by optimising laser efficiency. This reduces processing times and keeps production moving. They also create a smaller heat affected zone (HAZ), which helps prevent distortion and warping. This is particularly beneficial for thin or heat-sensitive metals.

Finally, mixed gases provide versatility. Different combinations can be tailored for various materials and thicknesses, ensuring cutting performance is always optimised.

Bystronic 10 & 12kW

Our 10 and 12 kilowatt fibre lasers are the machines we rely on for mid-range work. They are typically used for steel sheets between 3mm and 15mm thick.

These workhorse machines cut both high and low volumes quickly, flexibly, and cost-effectively. This helps us keep delivery times short while maintaining excellent customer service levels.

The reliability and low maintenance costs of Bystronic lasers also give us a competitive edge. Add to this our three lasers with varying power outputs, and our production facility achieves the perfect balance. It’s why our customers trust us to deliver exactly what they need, when they need it.
