Laser cutting
Laser cutting is an accurate production technique that makes it possible to quickly produce custom parts. Raytech has the possibility to laser cut sheets from a thickness of 0,005mm to 15mm.
Large series
Specially equipped laser machines (CO2-fiber lasers) are used to produce large series. These machines can achieve ultra high cutting speeds without getting overheated.
Things to consider when laser cutting large series:
Prototypes and small series
Laser cutting is well suited for creating prototypes and proof-of-concepts. Raytech has several specially equipped laser machines for cutting prototypes and small series. These machines are quickly adjustable and programmable. As a result, prototypes and small series can be delivered quickly.
Besides production services, Raytech also has the possibility to assist companies with the development of components. More information about engineering and product development can be found on the following page: engineering & product development
Material on sheet or coil?
In addition to sheet material, it’s also possible to use material on coil (for example strip steel). The biggest advantage of working with coils is that no material changes are required during the cutting process. This results in increased production speed.
Metal mesh, filter cloth, felt, cellulose fibers…
Obviously, certain materials are only available on coil or as cloth. Therefore various systems are available for processing these kind of materials. These systems, mainly cutting beds, ensure that cloths can be rolled out smoothly and that the material remains nicely flat during cutting.
Wide variety of materials
Different types of laser machines are available (CO2-YAG-Fiber-Galvo). In total 15 active laser sources are present.
This wide variety of machines makes it possible to process a lot of different materials. A list of the most common materials:
Steel: max. 15mm
Stainless steel: max. 12mm
Aluminium: max. 6mm
High precision laser cutting
Raytech is also specialized in the production of high-precision parts. These activities fall under the terms: micro laser cutting and micro tube laser cutting.
Thanks to this specialization, Raytech has the possibility to produce both extremely small parts and larger, thicker components.
