Our process flow ensures consistent quality and adherence to specifications:
Utilizing advanced CAD/CAM software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor), we transform client specifications into precise 2D and 3D digital models. This stage involves optimizing designs for laser cutting efficiency, material nesting, and structural integrity, ensuring all aesthetic and functional requirements are met.
Selected raw material sheets, sourced from certified suppliers, are meticulously prepared. This includes inspecting for surface imperfections, ensuring proper flatness, and cleaning to remove any contaminants that could interfere with the laser cutting process or affect the final product's quality.
High-power industrial fiber or CO2 lasers precisely cut the material according to the digital design. Our state-of-the-art machines offer exceptional speed, accuracy, and the ability to achieve intricate patterns and tight tolerances with minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ), crucial for maintaining material integrity.
After cutting, edges are carefully deburred to remove any remaining slag or sharp points, ensuring a smooth and safe finish. Subsequent finishing treatments, such as polishing, brushing, powder coating (for aesthetic and corrosion resistance), anodizing, or galvanizing, are applied as per client specifications.
Each Laser Cut Panel/ Laser Cut Screen/ Laser Cut Sheet undergoes rigorous multi-stage inspection. This includes dimensional verification against engineering drawings using precision metrology equipment, visual checks for surface finish and defects, and material integrity assessments. Compliance with international standards such as ISO 9001 and ANSI is strictly maintained.
The service life of a laser cut panel is largely determined by material choice, environmental exposure, and applied finishes. For high-grade stainless steel or properly finished aluminum in suitable applications, a service life of 15 to 50+ years is common, showcasing excellent corrosion resistance and structural stability. These panels are extensively utilized in:
