Hamilton Rand – Laser cutting with professionalism and quality

Posted by John Smith on January 31st, 2022

Processes such as laser cutting, one of the iconic techniques of Hamilton Rand, have made a special place for itself among the most recurrent clients since it consists of a process that does not need to generate any type of direct contact between the metal parts.

The technique in question is based on cutting materials using a laser cut stencil that is directed through nozzles. This procedure is quite exact; the laser beam is guided by a mirror or fiber towards the cutting head of the machine, and when the laser comes into contact with any surface, it melts and generates very precise cuts.

Laser cutting with professionalism and quality:

At the time of laser cutting and after the separation of the remaining material, it is essential to intervene in the result with some type of pressurized gas (oxygen, nitrogen, or argon). We always try to avoid any type of misinformation, affirm that directing a strong source of concentrated light on the surface of a material is just the first step in this procedure.

The applications of laser cutting are endless thanks to its excellent versatility, where it can be applied for high precision cuts, in cutting patterns, models, and molds; in architectural models, where details are taken care of, for the manufacture of chassis, engine parts or automotive details.

Even when laser cutting thermally affects the composition and integrity of the materials, under correct graduation, the possibility of leaving leftovers or burrs is eliminated, added to the preference of working on opaque and unpolished surfaces, since they reflect less light during the main process of stencil marking.

Other considerations specific to laser cutting:

By electric branding iron precision and great functionality, laser cutting allows detailed silhouette adjustments to be made, according to needs, since the previous cut and the subsequent trimming of the excess material. It develops more complex works, all this added to the fact that this process does not require cutting dies. Likewise, its robotic drive guarantees to maintain a constant distance between the electrode and the outer surface of the piece to be intervened.

Contrary to conventional processes for cutting materials, where there are restrictions regarding certain measurements, laser cutting allows not only accuracy based on position. But also, the quality of the results, obtaining sharp pieces with fine edges, smooth and clean, as well as saving material and increasing production speed.
