How Accurate is Laser Cutting?
The first carbon dioxide (C02) laser was invented in 1963 by Kumar Patel, and just two years later, the first Western Engineering Research Center (in Buffalo, USA) was the first to employ a laser as a cutting device, using a laser to drill holes in diamond dies. By the late 1960s, gas laser cutting was being used to cut through metal with ease and accuracy, something that CO2 lasers originally hadn't been capable of. For over 40 years, laser cutters have improved in terms of speed, performance and quality, but what about accuracy? How accurate is laser cutting today? Read More
Benefits of Pipe Cutting Machines
26th March 2021
Modular pipe and profile cutting machines made waves in the world of pipework fabrication. As the demand for pipe materials continues to soar, technology evolves at a rapid pace. Today's pipe cutters are designed for a wide range of projects, such as tank, pipeline and power plant construction industry applications. As a result, these powerful, precise and efficient machines can prove to be a wise investment for steel specialists. Pipe cutter machines are primarily designed for cutting through pipes, but depending on the machine, additional processes can include angle cutting, slotting, marking, notching, beveling, and hole marking.
