Laser cutting is a metal processing process that uses a laser beam to precisely and efficiently cut metal parts. This process allows for complex, high-quality cuts without the use of physical tools. Laser cutting offers high precision, low material distortion and exceptional surface finish.

• Combination of laser cutting with a 33 ton punching machine for greater versatility.
• Turret storage system for maximum efficiency.
• Production line equipped with an automatic system for 24/7 use.

Usinage Laurentides has two factories totaling 40,000 square feet. This allows us to guarantee continuous production, day and night, meeting your needs for tight deadlines and large quantities.

We use the punch + fiber laser combo method to guarantee precise and efficient cutting of your metal parts. This combination of techniques allows us to deliver high quality results, regardless of the complexity of your projects.

Our average defect rate in laser cutting is less than 1%. We are fast and committed to quality and we use an integrated production system to minimize errors and defects.

Yes, we have historical data on failure rates during laser cutting. Thanks to our integrated production system, our machines are connected to our ERP and we follow a rigorous quality manual. Additionally, each product is inspected according to customer specifications, ensuring consistent quality.

We implement several measures to ensure the quality of our products during CNC laser cutting.

• Validation of technical drawings before production.
• Visual inspection at critical points.
• Register of irregularities and non-compliance reports (RNC) if necessary.
• Continuous commitment to quality and process improvement.

Selecting a CNC laser cutting machine can be a crucial decision for your business or project. Here are some important aspects to consider when selecting:

• Cutting needs
  Determine the types of materials you plan to cut and their thickness. Certain materials require specific lasers, so it is important to select a machine compatible with your cutting needs.
• Accuracy and speed
  Precise cutting is essential to achieve high-quality results, while high cutting speed can increase your business productivity.
• Laser power
  The power of the laser is an important factor to consider. The higher the power, the more the machine will be able to cut thick and hard materials. However, higher power can also lead to higher costs.

Regular maintenance and servicing of CNC laser cutting equipment is essential to ensure its proper operation and extend its lifespan. Here are some tips to ensure effective maintenance:

• Regular cleaning
  Clean CNC laser cutting equipment regularly to remove cutting residue, dust and debris. Use appropriate cleaning products and be sure to dry surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.
• Checking the optics
  Machine optics, including lenses and mirrors, should be checked and cleaned regularly. Make sure they are clean and well aligned to get precise cuts.
• Lubrication
  The moving parts of the machine must be properly lubricated to prevent excessive friction and ensure smooth movement. Use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer and follow the recommended lubrication intervals.
• Calibration
  Calibrating the machine is important to ensure that cuts are made accurately. Check the machine calibration regularly and adjust it if necessary.
• Replacement of wearing parts
  Wearing parts, such as belts, bearings and cutting heads, must be replaced regularly to avoid performance problems. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for parts life and replacement.

There are different types of CNC laser cutting machines available in the market. The main types include fiber and CO2. Each type of machine uses a different laser source to perform the cutting.

Fiber laser cutting machines are commonly used to cut metals. They use a fiber optic laser to focus the laser beam, resulting in precise and fast cuts in metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, sheet metal.

CO2 laser cutting machines are ideal for cutting non-metallic materials such as wood and plastic. They use a CO2 laser which is absorbed by these materials, causing them to heat and evaporate to make precise cuts.
