The key features of laser profiling and cutting

Fast, precise and built for quality

Precision cuts at high speed, and our laser profiling service delivers fast and accurate results every time. The fibre laser cutting system allows us to maintain excellent accuracy across an array of materials and thicknesses, helping reduce lead times without compromising quality.

Exceptional edge finish

Our advanced laser profiling ensures an exceptional edge finish - clean, precise, and ready for any application. This ensures smooth edges on every finished part and consistent performance for future production runs.

The components

What is laser profiling?

Laser profiling is the cutting of materials using a laser beam concentrated through a cutting lens into a very small and very hot focal point of light, typically around 0.2mm in diameter. Using assist gases of either oxygen or nitrogen, various materials can be processed. Laser profiling offers a number of advantages over other means of processing metals, such as plasma, oxygen flame cutting and waterjet. By using modern fibre laser cutting systems, we increase efficiency, reduce waste and deliver repeatable precision.

Precision engineering at laser speed

Firstly, it’s fast, but more importantly, it’s accurate on the metals it can process.

For instance, the usual tolerances for materials under 6mm thick would be +/- 0.1mm; 6mm and above would still be within +/- 0.2mm for most applications.

Flawless edges with every cut

The edge finish from laser profiling is exceptionally good, with little in the way of burrs, and additional finishing is very often not required. Yorkshire Laser offer laser profiling in the following metals: steel, stainless, aluminium, copper and brass.

Key benefits of laser profiling & cutting

The precision fibre laser capabilities of our high-spec sheet metal fabrication machinery enables us to cut complex shapes on a wide range of metals of varying thickness and length. Other benefits of precision laser profiling include:

  • Etchings and markings of components;
  • Cut complicated shapes without the need for expensive tooling;
  • +/- 0.1mm tolerances in many thicknesses;
  • Reduced localised heat distortion;
  • Polished edge finish on stainless steel.

Our precision laser profiling capabilities and services

We are capable of offering laser profile cutting services for a range of metal types, sizes, and dimensions, utilising cutting-edge technologies and laser cutting techniques.

  • Two Amada laser profiling machines, one of which is a laser/punch combination
  • Capable of processing mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium
  •  Excellent edge finishes with minimum marking
  • High-speed and precision sheet metal machines capable of profiling and CNC punching on the same part.
  • Yorkshire Laser & Fabrication are known for fast turnaround times and excellent customer service.

What materials can our lasers process?

We specialise in the processing of thick and sheet metals across a range of grades, including:
  • Stainless Steel
  • Mild Steel
  • Aluminium
  • Brass
  • Copper

Our laser cutting systems are designed for flexibility and versatility, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all materials and thicknesses.

Our machines can cut thick metals as well as process sheet metal in a variety of measurements. We are able to process mild steel in thicknesses of 20mm, whilst stainless and aluminium materials can be handled in 12mm and 10mm respectively.

A maximum sheet size of 3000mm × 1500mm and a large stock of different materials ensure that we can find the best utilisation for your components. This combination guarantees that the cost of your parts is kept as low as possible.

By maintaining efficient lead times and applying fibre laser technology throughout each process, we continue to support business growth and prepare for the future of manufacturing.

Harnessing the power of MRP software will ensure your project is delivered on time and exceeds expectations in terms of time-specific deadlines. We understand the pressures most industries are under to provide time-controlled turnarounds and thrive in performing accurately under these circumstances.
