We are trusted by over 250 manufacturers
- Industry
- Location
Due to the fact that in process of metal products manufacturing we use mainly thin metal sheets and it is more feasible to manufacture parts by laser cutting from the whole sheet, rather than by individual blanks, we decided to purchase a laser. Based on the results of a research of the laser equipment offered by the market, geography of manufacturers, price parameters, the final choice was made in favor of the fiber laser from the domestic manufacturer LLC "ARAMIS".

How to choose a laser machine for metal cutting? Owners of industrial enterprises for the manufacture of metal products are paying increasingly careful attention to laser machines for metal cutting, which feature versatility, reliability and high precision. That goes without saying: when purchasing such equipment, the question arises quite naturally – what characteristics of the […]
What is laser cutting of metals? Metal laser cutting is a process where a laser beam is applied to cut metal parts to a specific size and shape. This method of metal processing is the most precise and efficient compared to other cutting methods, such as plasma cutting or gas cutting.
The machine is equipped with a conveyor system for removal of waste.
