What is precision laser cutting?

In laser cutting, complex and intricate cuts are produced by focusing a very small laser beam on the material. The material melts or vaporizes at the processing point. Due to the small beam diameter, the surrounding material is not damaged, and nearly distortion-free processing is possible. Cut starts can be reduced to an imperceptible level.

Precision laser cutting is the ideal application when high repeatability is required, achieved through tight tolerance ranges in terms of dimensional accuracy, cleanliness, and cut edge geometry.

The specially developed precision laser machines are used at BBW-Lasertechnik for the production of complex geometries and very small structures with the highest accuracy. Our process is suitable for a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and many more.

The Advantages of Precision Laser Cutting

Precision laser cutting offers numerous advantages over traditional cutting methods, particularly in terms of precision, speed, and material preservation. Here are some of the key benefits:

Highest Precision and Quality
Precision laser cutting enables extremely fine cuts that surpass conventional cutting methods. With minimal cutting widths and extremely tight tolerances, we ensure that your components are manufactured exactly to your specifications. This makes the process particularly suitable for the production of components with complex geometries and tight dimensional tolerances.
Clean Cutting Edges without Post-Processing
Another advantage of precision laser cutting is the quality of the cutting edges. Since the material is processed without mechanical stress, clean and smooth edges are produced, which in many cases require no further post-processing. This saves time and costs in production, increasing overall efficiency.
Versatility in Material Selection
Precision laser cutting is suitable for a wide range of materials. Whether it's metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, or plastics or delicate materials such as ceramics, our laser systems offer the flexibility to cut various materials with the highest precision. This versatility makes the process attractive to numerous industries, including medical technology, electronics, aerospace, and automotive.
Non-Contact and Material-Preserving Process
As precision laser cutting is a non-contact process, tool wear is eliminated, and the material is preserved. This is particularly important for sensitive or very thin materials that can be easily damaged by mechanical methods. The minimal thermal loads also reduce the risk of deformation or changes in material properties.
High Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
By enabling the fast and precise cutting of complex contours, precision laser cutting allows for efficient series production. The automation of the process reduces production times and costs, while the high accuracy of the laser minimizes scrap rates. This makes the process especially economical, particularly for larger quantities or complex components.
