Laser cutting in the automotive sector

Within Oxiplant’s activity and laser cutting service, there is a key sector such as the automotive sector.

As a company expert in the cutting, transformation, and commercialization of all types of metal products, we know the importance of using the appropriate machinery in different sectors.

In this article, we will discuss the use of laser cutting within the automotive sector.

Laser cutting in the automotive sector

Laser cutting has been used in the automotive sector for some time. In fact, it is not only used for laser cutting of sheet metal, but also for the interior of vehicles.

One of the main advantages of laser cutting is its precision and impeccable finishes, which undoubtedly makes it the most widely used cutting method by large companies in the automotive sector.

Regarding the execution procedure of the cutting, first, the vehicle design is available in digital format with all the measurements so that the technicians have all the necessary data to facilitate the task of laser cutting. In this way, the margin of error is minimized.

It should be noted that this complex process follows a series of chained steps meticulously, thanks to the rigor used by the technicians in the search for excellence and the achievement of an optimal result.

Laser cutting is applied to the surface we want to cut using a light beam accompanied by a gas that can be oxygen, nitrogen, or argon.

For this type of work in such decisive sectors, it is necessary to have the best professionals and the most technologically advanced machinery.

Benefits of laser cutting

Let’s remember some of the most important benefits of laser cutting:

1. High precision in cutting.
2. Cutting of narrow parts, parts with very sharp angles, and very small holes.
3. Laser cutting is a service that offers many possibilities for automation.
4. We ensure that the parts do not suffer deformations since we hardly generate heat during the laser cutting of the metal process.
5. For small thickness parts, laser cutting works at high speed.
6. Thanks to laser cutting, we cut tube profiles by laser.
