laser cutting krakow

Currently, we can see an even wider use of laser cutting in industry, mainly due to the special properties of laser light. This is because they facilitate the performance of numerous - often complex - technical operations on various materials with efficiency and accuracy far superior to conventional forms of machining. Thus, laser cutting is the most original and technologically advanced version of the machining technique, which guarantees, above all, the most perfect technological class of the processed parts.

Cracow - economic characteristics of the city

Krakow is located in southern Poland, within the Malopolska province on the Vistula River. The city, which is a district, serves as an economic, administrative, cultural, scientific, educational, service and tourist center. It is also important that Krakow is located at the junction of several geographic regions, i.e. the Sandomierz Basin, the West Beskid Foothills and the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Therefore, it has a strategic transportation location, connecting the main European tourist and transit routes: Tatra Mountains to the Baltic Sea, as well as Frankfurt to Kyiv. As part of Krakow's characteristics, it is also worth mentioning that it is the second-largest market for modern office space after Warsaw, as well as one of the fundamental railroad junctions in Poland. Thus, Krakow is both an important point on the communications map of Europe and one of the most important concentrations of industrial plants in Poland. Focusing on Krakow's economic situation, metallurgy is considered the largest and most developed industry in the city. In addition to it, Krakow is also an important center for many distinct industries, and in recent years has become a center for increasingly innovative and creative initiatives in various fields. The city's thriving industries include:

• chemical plants and pharmaceutical industry
• printing industry
• food industry

Further development of all these industries undoubtedly determines the need to use modern technological solutions, which is reflected in the ever-increasing popularity of laser cutting services in Krakow.

Laser cutting - specifics of the process

Laser cutting offers the possibility of precise processing of various types of materials, especially metal. The entire process is carried out through the use of a laser, which is a device that produces a coherent and polarized beam of electromagnetic radiation in the range of visible light, ultraviolet or infrared. The light emitted by laser devices allows to focus a large amount of energy in a very small area. For this reason, the laser makes it possible to carry out very precise operations. In machines designed for laser cutting , the accumulated energy results in immediate heating and melting of the material on which the beam of radiation has been guided. In addition, these machines can also use pure technical gases for their operation, for example, argon or nitrogen. This is done firstly to speed up the overall sheet metal cutting process, and secondly to blow the molten material away from the workpiece.

Laser cutting - the perfect solution for any industry

When choosing sheet metal cutting using modern laser technology, the customer opts for a separation process that relies on the precise guidance of a beam of light energy. Thus, cutting carried out with the use of a laser offers great opportunities in many branches of modern industry. Modern laser equipment belongs to the circle of machines characterized by great precision. In fact, no other processing methods guarantee such speed, accuracy and unlimited possibilities in terms of selection of cut shapes, which the laser guarantees. Therefore, it is popular to say that laser cutting is currently the most modern, accurate and fastest way of material processing. Due to the numerous advantages and versatility of this solution, it is possible to carry out orders for almost any industrial sector.

Laser cutting process - important parameters
‍
‍Theprocess involving laser cutting is affected by numerous parameters. Among them can be distinguished issues related to:

• the position of the focus and the diameter of the focus - which affect both the power density and the shape of the cutting gap on the workpiece, and determine the width of the gap and the form of the cutting gap;
• cutting gases and cutting pressure - by virtue of the cutting method, different process gases are used, pumped at different pressures through the cutting gap. Argon and nitrogen, for example, have the advantage that they do not react in any way with the molten metal in the cutting gap;
• the diameter of the nozzle - which is essential for high-quality workpieces. This is because this parameter determines not only the shape of the gas jet, but also the amount of gas needed to effectively manufacture the product;
• cutting speed - depending on the specifics of the commissioned cut and the material being processed, the cutting speed is determined. A common rule of thumb is that the more laser power available, the faster the cut can be achieved. In addition, the cutting speed decreases as the thickness of the material increases. It is worth noting at this point that if the set speed is either too high or too low for a certain type of material, it can lead to a greater depth of bumps or the formation of burrs;
• mode of operation - which allows you to determine whether the laser energy reaches the object to be processed continuously or intermittently.
