Source Metals is your one stop source for laser cutting services. Our laser cutting machines are fast, flexible, and cost-effective for modern plate processing requirements.
Laser cutting technology provides precise, clean results and is efficient in applications where speed and repeatability are critical.
The Machines
- (1) Bystronic Smart Fiber laser with automation
- 10,000 watt fiber laser
- 60" x 120" cutting area with auto load/unload support
The Capabilities
- Up to 3/4" thickness in carbon and alloy steel
- Up to 3/4" in stainless and up to 3/8" in aluminum
- Standard cutting tolerance of +.005
The Process
High-energy lasers are directed through optics onto a small area of metal. The narrow beam melts, vaporizes, or burns through the material while assist gas removes molten metal from the kerf.
The Benefits
- Low distortion and strong dimensional accuracy
- Clean edge quality with less secondary processing
- Rapid prototyping and efficient nesting performance
