Laser technology at FACO-Metalltechnik
Laser technology is used when complex outlines and fast and precise processing of materials are required. Wherever the cutting edge has to be particularly smooth and of high quality, for example in the case of visible edges, the laser technology shows its strengths. The cut edges are of such high quality that reworking is usually no longer necessary.
Advantages of laser cutting
- Laser cutting is gentle on materials, since the heat is applied only locally and the surrounding sheet metal areas are not affected by the thermal energy.
- It creates a very small kerf.
- Almost any desired shape can be cut.
- The material is cut contactless. The material is not damaged.
- Due to the flexibility of the system, quantities of just 1 piece can be realized economically

Contours and engravings
With the rugged and powerful Mazak Optilex Nexus 3015 Fiber 2D laser cutting machine, we operate a highly economical laser machine whose low operating costs naturally have a positive impact on pricing for our customers. We cut sheet thicknesses over the complete range of 05-15mm. The flexibility of our laser technology manifests itself in the machinable materials: Thin stainless steel and also mild steel are processed particularly productively in the melt cut. Also aluminum, brass, copper, nickel silver or foiled stainless steel are no problem for us - these materials are quickly and safely cut by laser.
Lasering Perforated Sheets, Expanded Meshes & Co.
In addition to the different grades of fine, medium and heavy plates, we also process expanded metal, perforated plates, fabric, corrugated grids and spot welded meshes in various grades and thicknesses. All products are provided with contours or we process them into round blanks, for example. Nesting programs help us to optimally and efficiently use the required raw material.
Lasering of NE-Metals
With our fiber laser, we also easily cut reflective surfaces.
We laser various non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, nickel, silver and many more.
More possibilities with laser technology
Our fiber laser allows us to laser not only sheet metal but also square and rectangular tubes.
We process steel and stainless steel with dimensions from 20 x 20 to 120 x 120 mm in wall thicknesses of 0.4 to 2.0 mm. The length of the tubes can vary between 1000 mm and 3000 mm.
