Frequently Asked Questions about tube laser cutting

Which materials can be cut at Steco?

Common materials include steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Is tube laser cutting environmentally friendly?

At Steco, we use oxygen for cutting materials, which is an environmentally friendly choice compared to nitrogen. This contributes to our efforts to implement sustainable and eco-friendly production processes.

How precise is tube laser cutting?

Tube laser cutting offers very high accuracy, with precision up to 0.2 mm.

Can complex geometries be cut with tube laser cutting?

Yes, tube laser cutting allows for the creation of complex geometries and patterns that are difficult to achieve with traditional methods. However, when cutting large geometries, there is a possibility of micro-joint residue being left behind.

What is the maximum profile thickness?

The maximum profile thickness that we can cut with our tube laser machine is 4 mm. This allows us to process a wide range of materials and applications.
