These features have revolutionised the production of companies, especially in the <strong>metal industry<\/strong>. In this article we will take a closer look at what laser technology is, its advantages, its applications on metal and stainless steel, with a focus on our machine pool and the machining operations we carry out at Metal\u2019s on semi-finished products and complex stainless steel assemblies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of lasers used for metal and stainless steel processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Generally speaking, there are three<strong> types of lasers<\/strong> most commonly used in the industrial and metalworking sectors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>CO2 laser<\/strong>: its operation is combined with the use of a<strong> carbon dioxide gas mixture<\/strong>, stimulated by electrical discharges. Used first in the manufacturing industry due to its processing speed, stability and sustainable costs of the systems, this type of laser is recommended for high quality processing including cutting sheet metal, plastics and organic materials. It is often used in the packaging industry for welding films.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Fiber laser<\/strong>: the light beam is combined with<strong> low-power diodes<\/strong> that allow the current to pass in a single direction. The wavelength of the laser is shorter than that of the CO2 laser, allowing its application even on metallic materials that are difficult to treat. Fiber systems are <strong>reliable, long-lasting<\/strong>, consume little energy and do not need much maintenance. This is why they are used for both metals welding and cutting, as well as for micromachining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Solid-state laser<\/strong> (or Yag laser). In this case, the laser is activated thanks to the <strong>energy produced by a light source<\/strong> (such as a lamp) on the crystal lattice Yag bar. The light introduces energy into the crystal and triggers the process useful for manufacturing. This technology gave birth to the fiber laser, which is better in terms of work quality and performance. In fact, thanks to the replacement of the lamp with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diode\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diodes<\/a>, duration and the wavelength are improved and there is no waste of energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The advantages of laser technology in metal machining over traditional techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Choosing laser technology for metal machining offers <strong>several advantages<\/strong>, especially in cutting and welding. Here are some of the most important ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Precision, cleanliness and speed.<\/strong> The laser works on a precise and limited area of material, without the need for additional finishing, thus offering maximum accuracy and high processing speed, even on the most complex surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Lower risk of material contamination<\/strong>. Especially with regard to cutting, laser technology (as opposed to traditional processing using, for example, blades) avoids the risk of contamination with other materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Customisation and flexibility<\/strong>. Thanks to the integration with automated and computerised production systems, it is possible to faithfully follow a design, whether simple or complex, making it unique. Furthermore, it is possible to use the machining process on several materials to achieve different geometries and finishes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Versatility<\/strong>. Laser technology can be used on various metals, from stainless steel to steel, as well as other materials such as glass or wood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Sicheres automatisiertes Verfahren<\/strong>. Die Lasertechnik wird in der Regel aus der Ferne \u00fcber ein computergest\u00fctztes System gesteuert. Dies erh\u00f6ht die Sicherheitsbedingungen f\u00fcr die Menschen am Arbeitsplatz und haltet st\u00e4rker an dem Modell der Industrie 4.0 fest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Safe automated process<\/strong>. Laser technology is usually followed remotely, through a computerised system. This increases the safety conditions of employees and opens up even more to the industry 4.0 model.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Production efficiency<\/strong>. When the project is monitored at every stage, the production cycle is improved \u2013 even on large numbers \u2013 saving time, costs and energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Low consumption.<\/strong> Laser technology is faster than other types of traditional processing: this optimises consumption, including energy, and reduces production costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Reduced maintenance.<\/strong> Laser technology does not require frequent maintenance; moreover, thanks to the computerised system, machine monitoring is constant, punctual and precise. In this case, any replacements or interventions are targeted, fast and timely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laser processing for stainless steel and metals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Laser technology for metal machining has improved a lot over the years and <strong>can meet the different needs of the sector<\/strong>. Laser, in particular, can be used for four processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Cutting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The laser cutting procedure for steel and metals consists in the <strong>thermal separation of the material<\/strong> to obtain the desired geometry. After setting up the machining project on the system, the laser beam strikes the surface of the sheet of material to be processed and begins the operations remotely, as programmed. It allows different types of materials to be cut with <strong>high precision<\/strong>, with <strong>different thicknesses<\/strong> and of <strong>any shape<\/strong>, without inaccuracies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Welding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Laser welding for steel and metals allows <strong>to join<\/strong> <strong>two or more pieces of metal into one<\/strong>. To do this, the equipment must direct the laser beam onto the pieces to be joined, generating thermal energy that locally heats the material, melting it. Welding can be <strong>limited to a single point or continue along the entire length<\/strong>. Also in this case, the processing takes place remotely and is precise, burr-free and long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Combined laser punching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/metals.weggagency.com\/en\/production-process\/punching\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.metals.it\/en\/production-process\/punching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">punching combined with laser<\/a> should also be mentioned. With this process, <strong>holes<\/strong> are obtained <strong>on the metal sheet<\/strong> thanks to the strong and repeated pressure of a pointed tool on the metal (the punch), which deforms the surface until the desired hole and shape are obtained. To reduce processing time, costs and improve the production result, there are systems that combine punching with laser cutting technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Engraving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Laser engraving on metal and stainless steel is used to <strong>customise a product<\/strong>, for example to create company logos, names or designs, even in colour, but without the use of inks or other chemicals. To proceed with engraving, you need first to <strong>create the layout of the desired design<\/strong>, using a common graphics programme, and then proceed with machining.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Marking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Similar to engraving, laser marking for metals and stainless steel is a process that allows <strong>to imprint a mark on the material <\/strong>and differs from the former in the type of processing. Marking, in fact, <strong>melts the metal<\/strong> by creating grooves; whereas engraving vaporises it. Marking is used for aesthetic reasons (e.g. to add customised logos and graphics to the metal) but above all <strong>to facilitate industrial traceability <\/strong>without the use of inks, acids or solvents. Being a permanent process, it is counterfeit-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-1024x682.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-1024x682.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-18x12.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/06\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min.jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-1024x682.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/06\\\/Depositphotos_257243542_L-min.jpg 2000w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applications of laser technology in metalworking: from shape cuts to welding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">High precision, cleanliness and speed of execution make laser technology one of the <strong>most requested procedures<\/strong> to realise projects for companies operating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metals.it\/en\/markets-of-reference\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/metals.weggagency.com\/en\/markets-of-reference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in various markets: including the metalworking one<\/a>. A sector that goes from medical to food industries, from packaging to bottling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La <strong>tecnologia di taglio laser<\/strong>, per esempio, permette di realizzare<strong> tagli sagomati sulle lamiere di acciaio inox<\/strong> per dare forma ai particolari che compongono elettrodomestici come forni, lavastoviglie industriali, elementi per cucine professionali o per la refrigerazione. Grazie al taglio laser, poi, si possono<strong> creare incastri e geometrie<\/strong> particolari e pulite, seguendo un design personalizzato concordato con il cliente nelle fasi iniziali del progetto. Allo stesso modo, la <strong>saldatura a laser <\/strong>consente di unire, senza sbavature e imperfezioni, diverse parti metalliche tra loro. Per esempio, impostando l\u2019impianto di saldatura laser da remoto, tramite automatizzazione, si pu\u00f2 far aderire elementi in acciaio come quelli di un quadro o di un armadio elettrico, sportelli o altri elementi del prodotto desiderato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">To achieve the best result, specific <strong>state-of-the-art systems<\/strong> are needed for the various phases of laser processing on metal, followed by a team of <strong>workers specialised in laser cutting and welding<\/strong>, as well as in marking or engraving. The latter are processes that may be required by the customer to engrave or imprint details on the material. For example, they are useful for adding the shape of a clock or a brand logo on an industrial oven, without adding inks or applying adhesives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Therefore, this technology \u2013 which allows cutting, welding, marking and engraving of different layers of material and even on different types of material (such as glass or plastic) \u2013 is perfect for the <strong>production of complex assemblies and machines parts for example for the catering industry<\/strong> such as ovens, meat processing machines, slicers, homogenizers, liquid and solid separators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The advantages of laser technology for the food and pharmaceutical sector<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The applications of laser technology on stainless steel and metals are numerous and advantageous, and recommended especially in certain sectors, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries, which have to <strong>meet particular hygienic-sanitary<\/strong> <strong>requirements<\/strong>, guarantee correct cleaning of machinery, and ensure traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Choosing<strong> stainless steel<\/strong> as the material for manufacturing products for this sector, rather than other metals, is already a good starting point for responding to the needs of these markets. Stainless steel, in fact, <strong>prevents contamination, is hygienic and lasts longer<\/strong> than the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In particular, at Metal\u2019s we have chosen to keep processes involving other materials separate: any processes on non-stainless steel products are <strong>isolated in separate locations<\/strong>. In this way, powders from other materials cannot contaminate stainless steel products or compromise their characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using laser technology in these areas offers numerous advantages. In particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">enables fast, <strong>precision machining<\/strong> that optimises time and production;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">ensures <strong>maximum hygiene<\/strong> in the product manufacture as the laser never touches the surface, thus also avoiding any contamination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">offers quality processing <strong>that needs no further touching<\/strong> up or finishing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>does not require the use of chemicals<\/strong>, adhesives and chemical additives;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">allows product <strong>components to be easily identified <\/strong>by marking, facilitating traceability and the inclusion of key data such as batch number and expiry date on the packaging of food packaging products, avoiding additional packaging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For this reason, laser technology is increasingly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to make, for example, <strong>oven chambers, mincing machines, meat processing machines, slicers, homogenisers, liquid and solid separators<\/strong> as well as <strong>x-ray systems<\/strong> or parts of <strong>medical machines<\/strong>, with high-performance, easy to clean and sanitise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-1024x576.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-1024x576.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-1536x864.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-scaled.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.metals.it\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2023\/05\/Astes-min-18x10.jpg.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\" data-smush-webp-fallback=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-1024x576.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\\\/\\\/www.metals.it\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/Astes-min-18x10.jpg 18w&quot;}\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laser cutting and welding: Metal\u2019s excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Laser machining is definitely the most <strong>modern technology in the field of steel processing<\/strong>.

We have <strong>a large fleet of laser cutting and welding machines<\/strong>, in operation every day of the week, 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">As far as laser cutting is concerned, which corresponds to the first processing stages in the production process, we have \u2013 among others \u2013 <strong>a MITSUBISHI fibra 8 kW laser cutting system with 3000\u00d71500 planes with a cutting capacity of up to 200\/10 stainless steel with automatic loading\/unloading<\/strong> which allows us to process stainless steel of different thicknesses. We can also carry out drawing with a height of up to 20 mm, threading and, in some cases, bending thanks to equipment that combines laser cutting and punching technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Welding, on the other hand, is one of the <strong>finishing stages of the process<\/strong>.
