Laser cutting is an efficient and economical cutting process. It is the use of a high density laser beam to irradiate a workpiece, causing the irradiated material to vaporize and melt, while using high-speed airflow to blow away the material, in order to cut the workpiece out. It leaves edges with high-quality surface finish. Industrial laser cutting machines are generally used to cut flat materials as well as structural and pipeline materials like tubes, pipes and profiles. Laser cutting is a mainstream metal cutting method known for its accuracy, efficiency, and versatility.
Laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and plasma cutting are three distinct methods used in material cutting, each with unique strengths and limitations. Yixing, with its capabilities in laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and plasma cutting, can leverage the strengths of each technology to serve a wide range of industries and applications.
How it Works
Laser Cutting：Uses a high-powered laser beam to melt, burn, or vaporize material.
Often assisted by a gas jet to blow away molten material and create a clean cut.
Waterjet Cutting: Uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive substance, to cut through material.
Pure waterjet cutting is used for softer materials, while abrasive waterjet cutting is used for harder materials.
Plasma Cutting: Uses a high-velocity jet of ionized gas (plasma) to melt and blow away material.
The plasma arc is created by passing gas (e.g., air, nitrogen, argon) through an electrical arc.
Materials
Laser Cutting: Best for metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminum), plastics, wood, and glass.
Not suitable for highly reflective materials (e.g., copper, brass) or materials with high thermal conductivity.
Waterjet Cutting: Can cut almost any material, including metals, stone, glass, ceramics, composites, and plastics.
Ideal for heat-sensitive materials.
Plasma Cutting: Primarily used for electrically conductive metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass).
Cannot cut non-conductive materials like wood, plastic, or glass.
Thickness Range
Laser Cutting：Thin to medium thickness (up to 20-25 mm for metals, depending on laser power).
Struggles with very thick materials.
Waterjet Cutting: Can cut very thick materials (up to 200 mm or more).
Consistent performance across thicknesses.
Plasma Cutting: Best for medium to thick materials (up to 50 mm or more).
Less efficient for very thin materials (under 3 mm).
The general tolerance for metal laser cutting typically ranges from ±0.1 mm to ±0.5 mm, depending on material thickness, material property, laser cutting machines, cutting parameter, part geometry and application requirements. By understanding these affecting factors and optimizing laser cutting processes, Yixing can deliver high-quality laser cut parts that meet the needs of various industries, from high-precision electronics to heavy-duty construction.
| Material Thickness | Tolerance Range |
| 0.5 mm - 3 mm | ±0.1 mm to ±0.2 mm |
| 3 mm - 6 mm | ±0.2 mm to ±0.3 mm |
| 6 mm - 10 mm | ±0.3 mm to ±0.4 mm |
| 10 mm - 20 mm | ±0.4 mm to ±0.5 mm |

We offer different thickness specifications for different laser cutting materials. The laser cutting equipment parameters will decide what thickness we can cut.
For aluminum laser cutting, the thickest flat sheet we can laser cut is around 10mm.
For stainless steel laser cutting, the thickest flat sheet we can laser cut is around 14mm.
For carbon steel laser cutting, the thickest flat sheet we can laser cut is around 20mm.
Laser cutting is one of the most efficient cutting method that can cut steel materials very fast. This ensures that various cutting projects will be completed very quickly while at the same time save material costs. With precise laser cutting machines in Shanghai Yixing Technology, we can provide faster lead times and reasonable pricing for customers.
For aluminum laser cutting, our cutting speed is around 0.3~0.45m/min.
For stainless steel laser cutting, our cutting speed is around 0.4~0.5m/min.
For carbon steel laser cutting, our cutting speed is around 0.3~0.5m/min.
Our laser cutting service can cut material with a precision of +/- 0.002 inches and a positional accuracy of +/- 0.004 inches. This high precision makes laser cutting an ideal choice for industries that require complex and detailed cutting. For example, precision parts of serrated teeth used in the manufacturing and even production of medical devices.
The accuracy of laser cutting machines is mainly affected by the following factors:
1. Laser beam quality
The better the quality of the laser beam, the smaller the focused spot, and the higher the cutting quality and accuracy.
2. Optical system
High precision and high-quality optical systems can significantly improve the accuracy of laser cutting machines. During the operation of the laser cutting machine, the optical system guides the laser beam very close to the workpiece, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the laser beam, thereby achieving high-precision processing.
3. Machine accuracy
Machine accuracy is also one of the key factors affecting the accuracy of laser cutting machines. The laser cutting machine needs to have a high-precision positioning system, including the workbench, guide rail, servo motor, sensor, and other parts that must ensure accuracy in order to ensure the processing accuracy of the laser cutting machine.
4. Cutting parameters
Different materials and thicknesses require different cutting parameters, such as laser power, spot diameter, gas flow rate, cutting speed, etc. Adjusting these parameters can effectively affect the accuracy of cutting.
