CO2 laser processing for mild and stainless steel to non-ferrous metals
Our CO2 lasers can cut metals including stainless and mild steel, thin aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. For precision metal laser cutting, CO₂ technology outperforms traditional methods by a significant margin. Complex profiles are produced with minimal waste.
Since the process never physically contacts the material, it eliminates tool wear and breakage. As a result, edge quality is consistently good, thereby minimizing the need for post-process finishing. In certain cases, complementary processes such as welding and drilling are possible as well, thus enhancing the versatility of this cutting-edge technology.

Mild steel: Fast and reliable laser cutting for metal fabrication
Mild steel is probably the most used form of steel. Its low cost and favorable mechanical properties make it attractive for a wide range of applications. It is widely used in the construction and automotive industries, as well as for domestic goods, flanges, fittings, pipes, and more.
Our CO2 lasers can cut mild steel using a flame cutting technique, with oxygen-assist gas. An exothermic reaction between the heated metal and the assist gas generates energy, which assists the laser beam. Process speeds are therefore relatively fast, and thicknesses up to 6 mm can be handled with the OEM 65iX.

Our CO2 lasers cut stainless steel
Stainless steel: Clean edges through metal laser cutting
Stainless steel is commonplace in the world today. It is strong, easy to weld, resistant to corrosion, and has an attractive appearance.
It is used in a diverse range of products – aerospace components, surgical instruments and implants, cladding for buildings, automotive exhausts, grilles and trim components, cutlery and cookware, chemical storage vessels and food production equipment are just a few examples.
For stainless and high alloy steels, metal laser cutting with a fusion process is the standard approach. Inert assist gas is used to blow the molten metal through the kerf. This leaves a clean, oxide-free edge which requires no further finishing. Thicknesses up to 3 mm can be cut using the OEM 65iX.
