Laser Cutting / Laser Cutting Services
Laser cutting with the highest precision.
Laser cutting, or laser cuts, operates as follows: Laser cutting is a thermal cutting process used to create precise shapes from sheet metal and various other materials. The laser beam is generated in the laser source and focused by the lens into a very small diameter with high power. This focused laser beam strikes the raw material, causing it to melt.
We offer laser cutting services in the format of 1500 mm x 3000 mm for various materials:
- Structural steel St37 and St52: 20 mm thickness with N² assist gas, and from 6 mm thickness with O² assist gas.
- Stainless steel: Up to 15 mm thickness with N² assist gas.
- Aluminum: Up to 15 mm thickness.
- Brass: Up to 8 mm thickness.
- Copper: Up to 8 mm thickness.
- Wood: Up to 21.5 mm thickness.
- POM Black:?

Precise Technology. High-Quality Results. Laser Cutting at Salzgeber AG.
It was just around fifty years ago when lasers began their triumphant journey. Nowadays, lasers are an integral part of our daily lives. They are used in various applications, such as light shows, communications technology, or in every commercially available DVD player. This advanced technology has also rapidly established itself in the industrial sector. Laser cutting is now one of our core services. The advantage lies in the precision it offers, enabling intricate cuts to be made with ease.
The Formula for Success: Extreme Heat Combined with Precision
In essence, a laser is nothing more than an intensely focused beam. This unique characteristic is fully harnessed in laser cutting. Here’s how it works: First, the laser concentrates on a specific point on the material to be processed. This generates such high temperatures in that area that the workpiece begins to melt. Once the intense beam has entirely pierced the material, laser cutting commences: The laser traverses the workpiece, further cutting through it to create the finest contours. Additionally, a cutting gas is directed through the cutting gap beneath the workpiece. The result is a clean edge and an ultra-thin gap, just slightly wider than the laser beam itself.
As you can see, this precise manufacturing process enables the accomplishment of delicate and intricate cuts through laser cutting. Simultaneously, the workpiece material is optimally utilized, resulting in minimal waste. In principle, all fusible materials can be processed, whether it’s aluminum, copper, stainless steel, or any other structural steel you need to have cut. Consequently, laser cutting is widely regarded as exceptionally efficient and cost-effective in the field of cutting technology.
