When it comes to bevelling, CO2 is more accurate than plasma cutting and faster than milling. A good CO2 machine, for instance, will allow you to bevel edges of up to 40 mm - the perfect solution for cutting steel plate for instance.

A laser machine will mark, etch and engrave as well as cut. Eliminating the need for two machines and to transfer parts between them, this inherent versatility reduces per part costs even more.

CO2 lasers cut clean without leaving oxide residue on the workpiece. This makes using a C02 machine a great alternative to milling on stainless steel parts requiring an excellent finish. Given extra productivity resulting from its speed, it makes sense to seek advice on the pros and cons of laser cutting as an alternative to milling.

CO2 machines make it possible to cut intricate shapes and tiny grooves down to a fraction of a millimetre.

Laser cutting is ideally suited to cutting wood, plastics and Perspex. It leaves beautifully edges on Perspex, cuts plywood and can be used to punch paper and cardboard. A method that is both versatile and cost effective, laser cutting makes a great solution for suppliers to the media and advertising industries.

Getting more productivity from older or specialist machines by adding tending solutions is easy since all you need to replace is the laser system. The availability of ready-made solutions means that creating your own setup from various pieces of equipment is not necessary.

When deciding on a laser, good support in the form of specialist advice and knowhow is indispensible. What about incorporating a laser into your machine? Does it come with the right machining software and meet all your cutting requirements across a wide range of materials? And what about setting up and calibrating it? If you are starting from scratch, it us best to ask an expert.
