Laser Cutting is a non-contact process which utilizes a laser to cut materials, resulting in high quality, dimensionally accurate cuts. The process works by directing the laser beam through a nozzle to the workpiece. A combination of heat and pressure creates the cutting action.
Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper, although other conductive metals may be cut as well.
Deburring abrasives act like hundreds of tiny files, breaking down sharp burrs. Radiusing, a related finishing technique, grinds sharp edges down to create smooth, round contours. Polishing removes metal with an abrasive belt or grinding material, and it is the technique of choice when removing large pieces of metal.
A press brake is a machine pressing tool for bending sheet and plate material, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching punch and die.
