Our company carries out additional metalworking work. Among them, laser cutting of metal and plasma cutting of metal are in greatest demand in Moscow and the Moscow region. Laser cutting of metal in Moscow is performed at low prices and in the shortest possible time.

Laser cutting of metal

A laser beam is a directed stream of photons. Using thermal action, you can cut various materials, from glass to hard stone. This method makes it possible to produce a wide variety of metal parts, including miniature elements and massive structures on a frame.

Laser cutting of sheet metal is today the most technologically advanced type of sheet metal separation. One of its undoubted advantages is high processing accuracy. Both miniature parts and large-sized structures where adjustment is required can be processed. The parts obtained as a result of laser cutting meet the necessary requirements.

Laser cutting:

  • allows you to process a large amount of material;
  • makes it possible to prepare parts of any level of complexity;
  • allows you to significantly speed up the material processing process.

For laser cutting of metal, a modern industrial complex with a fiber laser and a unique coordinate table on linear drives KS-7V-2 “Navigator” is used, which makes it possible to produce parts with any complex contour, obtain a high-quality smooth surface of the cut edge that does not require further processing, and optimize sheet cutting metal and significantly reduce the amount of waste during laser cutting. The cost of metal laser cutting with us will pleasantly surprise you.


Thickness range of processed parts:

  • Low and medium carbon steels from 0.5 to 18.0 mm
  • Low alloy steels from 0.5 to 18.0 mm
  • Stainless steels from 0.5 to 10.0 mm
  • Aluminum alloys from 0.5 to 6.5 mm

Plasma cutting of metal

For cutting rolled sheets, oxy-fuel and plasma cutting equipment with computer numerical control (CNC) produced by Varstroj is used. The equipment allows us to produce parts of various configurations and complexity.

  • Maximum processed sheet size from 1500 to 6000 mm
  • Thickness range of workpieces made of low and medium carbon steel from 1 to 150 mm
  • The minimum diameter of cut holes in parts is at least 1.5 times the thickness of the part itself

To speed up cost calculations and fulfill orders for laser / plasma cutting of metal, we ask you to consider the following recommendations:
send drawings in DWG or DXF format
scale of details in drawings - 1:1
the contours of the parts must be in the zero layer and made in graphic primitives (line, circle, arch)
The use of splines and ellipses in drawings is not recommended.

Modern metal processing technology, which uses CNC equipment, is called laser metal cutting. This method is highly accurate. It is used for workpieces with a thickness ranging from 2-30 mm. After processing with a powerful laser, surfaces are obtained that do not require finishing.

SteelMetal offers laser metal cutting services at a competitive price. We work with both large and single orders.

Features of the technology

The principle of operation of the laser is as follows: the area at which the beam is directed is heated to the melting temperature, as a result of which the material begins to melt and the phase boundary shifts inward. At the same time, the temperature does not stop rising, so the second stage begins - evaporation. After such processing, it is possible to obtain a perfectly smooth edge, without deformation. There is no need to clean the weld seam or perform any other finishing work to achieve the final shape.

Advantages of cutting metal with laser

This method has a wide range of advantages. Among them:

  • Maximum precision in processing parts of any shape, including volumetric and flat, as well as non-rigid and low-deformation workpieces.
  • Versatility. The technology is used for almost any rolled metal product.
  • Gentle on metal. The method is unique in that it does not apply current to the workpiece. Also, when using it, there is no mechanical impact, so using a laser you can also cut other materials that are fragile and small in thickness - wood, leather, rubber, plywood, plexiglass, etc.
  • Ease of use. Laser cutting of metal is performed automatically. To cut the workpiece the way the customer requires, you only need to have a drawing of the finished product, which is transferred to the computer system of the CNC machine.
  • Optimization of production processes. The operation of the laser machine can be set to automatic mode, which will reduce labor costs without compromising the quality of the finished products. The volume of waste when using this technology is reduced to a minimum.
  • Wide scope of application. Using laser cutting of metal, you can even create decorative designs for the workpiece: patterns, engravings, etc.

This method is optimally suited for those customers who are interested in high-speed production of metal products without the need for subsequent processing.

Metal cutting is a technological operation-term that unites a wide range of types of work, as a result of which holes of the required shapes and sizes are made in the workpiece, it is cut (trimmed), punched out, etc. You can order all this work from our company.

Metal cutting methods

The equipment at the company’s disposal allows the following work to be carried out.

  • Cutting metal with a guillotine (guillotine cutting). This option is suitable for cases when you need to obtain simple shaped blanks from sheet metal. The capabilities of such equipment allow cutting sheets of metal with a thickness of no more than 5-6 mm. The features of this technology are the low (relative to other methods) cost of the final products and limited possibilities for such cutting.
  • Punch cutting of sheet metal. This option is convenient when it is necessary to produce products of simple shapes, up to 3 mm thick, as part of serial/large-scale production, since such equipment allows you to automate the processes of feeding metal sheets and sorting blanks after cutting, which significantly speeds up the process.
  • Laser cutting of metal. The most complex technological process. Its peculiarity is the ability to perform cutting of complex shapes with high precision, which is impossible or more labor-intensive to obtain using other above-mentioned technologies.

Work process

To accurately calculate the cost of manufacturing a workpiece, you need drawings, information about the properties and parameters of the material. The total price also depends on the order volume. In addition, the cost of individual parts will be higher due to the costs of pre-production preparation. With large volumes of production of the same type of parts, the price per unit will be lower.

The timing of the work and its cost depend on the following parameters:

  • cut length and sheet metal thickness;
  • order volume;
  • brand of material (its properties);
  • number and complexity of contours.

We perform laser cutting of metal from our material or customer blanks. In the second case, you purchase the metal yourself, perform quality control and delivery. Here are some recommendations for purchasing metal that will help improve the quality of laser-cut parts:

  • If you purchase or use your own metal, then avoid rusty material that is covered with traces of corrosion. The quality of laser cutting of such sheets will be worse than when working with new metal.
  • Do not use sheets with significant defects or unevenness.
  • When independently drawing up sketches and drawings of the location of parts on the sheet, keep in mind that there must be a minimum distance between products of at least 5-10 mm, and from the edge of the sheet - at least 10 mm.

Important! We perform laser cutting of any sheet materials: metal, plywood, plastic, MDF. To complete the work most economically, our specialist must place the parts on the sheet.

Advantages of our company

  • High productivity when fulfilling bulk orders. Thanks to automated equipment, the speed of laser cutting of parts is maximum, and errors are calculated in fractions of a millimeter.
