Laser metal cutting: How it works and in which industries it is used

Laser technology offers impressive flexibility in terms of the materials it can process. Thanks to the stable, high-power light beam, even metals with different properties and thicknesses can be cut with precision.

• Steel & stainless steel: St37, S235, and S355 steel are key materials in construction and industry. Lasers handle their thickness perfectly, offering clean cuts and absolute geometric precision. Stainless steel (INOX) is also an ideal material for laser cutting, as it retains its quality without deformation.
• Aluminum and galvanized sheets: Aluminum, although more sensitive to heat, is extremely well processed with high-power fiber lasers. The same applies to galvanized sheets, which require careful handling to keep the surface intact.
• Bronze and copper: Bronze and copper, due to their high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, are considered demanding materials for cutting. With the right fiber laser technology, they can be processed safely and accurately, ensuring clean edges, consistent quality, and excellent control over geometry, even in thin or complex designs.
• Special metal alloys: Special metal alloys are used in projects that require superior mechanical strength. Laser cutting of metal offers the possibility of extreme precision even in complex geometries, providing solutions for demanding industrial applications.

These capabilities make fiber laser technology one of the most reliable options for those seeking top-quality metal cutting services in Thessaloniki and throughout Greece.

To ensure the top quality required by modern industry, Axinar has invested in state-of-the-art equipment and a comprehensive range of machining services. This means that every project can be carried out with precision, consistency, and reliability.

Among other things, Axinar has GloryStar fiber lasers ranging from 3KW to 20KW with the ability to cut sheets up to 1500×4000 mm. The combination of high power and an automatic loading system reduces processing time and increases precision.

At the same time, the Salvagnini 7-axis and Ermaksan 6-axis press brakes offer precise bends, allowing the production of demanding metal shapes with consistent repeatability. The ability to use a DAVI CNC roller for sheet metal curving complements the advanced forming methods required by modern industry.

When projects require high geometric accuracy and zero tolerances, CNC machining is undoubtedly the best choice.

The HAAS ST-15Y four-axis lathe allows the production of parts with maximum dimensions of Φ200×450mm, while the Φ63 bar feeder supports mass production.

At the same time, the high-stability HAAS VF2 4-axis CNC milling machine ensures perfect finishing and reliability even on complex workpieces. These technologies are critical in industries where tolerance requirements are strict, such as the automotive and medical equipment industries.

No metal structure is complete without excellent welding and proper finishing.

Axinar offers specialized MIG and TIG welding for steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, while welding with Fronius 2700 pulsed welders provides clean seams and high precision.

In addition, with Glorystar 3 kW Laser Welding technology, we offer exceptional precision, high speed, and quality. This technology allows for welds of excellent aesthetics and strength, even on thin or demanding materials such as stainless steel and aluminum, with absolute control and repeatability. It is the ideal solution for high-specification applications where clean welds, reduced post-processing, and consistent quality in a production environment are required.

The modern deburring system ensures edge smoothing and burr removal, ensuring excellent surface quality. Finally, the Kaltenbach 380H saw offers reliable cutting of profiles and solid materials, supporting the needs of serial production.
