Laser cutting is the most common form of cutting, or contour cutting that forms a two-dimensional shape in ordinary materials. It uses lasers to concentrate heat and draw a path through the material. The thickness of the carved path is called a cut, usually less than 0.010 inches. Unlike lasers, water jet cutting utilizes the fact that water cannot be compressed, so when a small stream of water is ejected from the nozzle at very high pressure, it can cut almost anything.
Sprinklers have advantages over some thicker metals because they do not generate excess heat that affects tempering. The cutting thickness of the water jet incision is 0.040 "to 0.050", but the general tolerances for water jet and laser are the same, +/-0.010 ". Compared with laser, water sprayer is also better for soft materials such as foam or gasket, because it will not compress or burn. This is also important for materials such as PVC, PC and even galvanized metal, because these materials can only be cut through water sprayer to avoid harmful smoke such as fluorine, chlorine or zinc when exposed to high temperature. Laser has the advantage of speed and usability, because they can quickly handle most plastics and thinner metals with great dexterity. Laser is also used for engraving and part marking.
Laser and water jet processes are commonly used tools for creating contour cutting on sheets. Due to its versatility, YiShang classifies sheet cutting as an inclusive category, allowing users to focus on the materials they want to cut based on CAD.
YiShang has a variety of laser cutting or water jet cutting service providers. The correct supplier will be automatically connected according to job requirements.
