Laser cutting of metal
Our laser cutting machinery park allows for high machining speeds and superior cut quality in the parts we manufacture. We cut complex contours in workpieces up to 20 mm thick across materials such as copper, brass, aluminum, iron, stainless steel, bronze, electro-galvanized, or hot-dip galvanized steel.
We feature the latest technology to carry out the laser cutting process. Our facilities are fully automated with a smart warehouse connected to our cutting machines. This allows us to perform the process efficiently and competitively, maintaining a permanent stock of raw materials to offer an agile service to our clients.
Sheet metal laser cutting: our machinery
We have high-end machinery for manufacturing metal parts using sheet metal laser cutting. To adapt to our clients’ wide variety of projects, we feature two cutting-edge technologies: fiber optic laser cutting and CO2 laser cutting machinery.
Fiber laser cutting machine
To carry out this cutting process on metal parts, we use a fiber laser machine, the BYSTRONIC Bystar Fiber 6 kW Laser.
- High productivity: Thanks to its powerful cutting head.
- High precision: Exceptional results on both thin profiles and thick sheet metal.
- Automation and safety: Its CNC control system guarantees optimal efficiency, material savings, and maximum safety throughout the entire process.
New laser cutting center for metal parts
In 2022, we opened a new 2,500 m² industrial facility at JOM exclusively dedicated to sheet metal laser cutting. To achieve this, we invested in new machinery as well as a smart warehouse that allows us to manage metal sheets automatically without manual operations.
Thanks to this improvement, our production capacity is larger, faster, and more versatile, allowing us to meet the manufacturing demand for a wide range of metal parts for various industrial applications.
Sheet metal laser cutting and its advantages
Laser cutting offers countless advantages for industrial production. It involves applying a powerful light beam to the sheet metal surface alongside an assist gas (such as oxygen or nitrogen). This continuous application allows the sheet metal to be cut with ease.
- Flawless finishes: It is a highly precise technique. Edges remain smooth and clean, yielding an impeccable cut and producing parts with fine edges.
- Thickness versatility: This technique enables cutting regardless of the thickness (typically between 0.5 mm and 30 mm) and size of the metal sheet.
- Cost and material savings: It increases production speed, saves material by minimizing waste, and, unlike stamping, does not require cutting dies.
- Limitless designs: Its robotic actuation and state-of-the-art software allow for complex work and meticulous contour adjustments, maintaining a constant distance between the head and the workpiece.
- Sustainable process: It generates barely any waste during cutting, making it an environmentally friendly technique.
The entire process is carried out by qualified personnel with extensive experience, equipped with all the necessary safety measures (fire-retardant gear, eye protection, etc.) to guarantee an optimal working environment.
Laser cutting applications for different metals
The laser cutting technique is based on producing a beam with a wavelength capable of cutting almost any type of metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass…).
If you want to learn about the technical properties of each metal, read our guide on the most common materials for laser cutting.
With the availability of so many metallic materials and the speed of our automated machinery, laser cutting at JOM is the ideal solution for producing everything from automotive parts and electrical components to construction elements and medical equipment.
Because the laser cutting machine is so efficient and computer-controlled, it can produce numerous identical parts in a short time without errors, making it a truly cost-effective tool for any industrial project.
