Training in the use of laser cutting machines

Keeping pace with technological development

The cutting of sheet metal, tubes and profiles was performed with the use of a band saw for a long time. The appearance of a laser has made this activity much easier, faster and precise. The laser cutting machine has been applied by a lot of companies and if they need a service of cutting metal but they do not possess a similar device, they very often order such a service from an external company. Modern machines for cutting metal are characterised by their high level of technological advancement. Their handling requires knowledge, skills and experience. Also, it is crucial to know a particular laser cutting machine and its parameters, and the ranges in which they are set. We will discuss all of the above mentioned aspects during the training. Our many years of experience in the high-tech industry have convinced us even more that without development we fall behind not stay in the same place. Having skills, knowledge and machine facilities, we have decided to support other specialists and companies in their undertakings to enable them keeping pace with dynamic technological changes.

A laser cutting machines supports more effective work

A laser cutting machine emits a beam which hits the material. It is monochromatic and all the waves are of the same length. The waves are almost aligned parallelly which results in the ray being constantly the same. Consequently, the precision of cutting up to 0,001” even with thin materials is achieved. Most of all the laser cutting machines makes material processing more precise and precision provides more opportunities. The duration of cutting shortens significantly and the possibility of setting particular parameters adjusted to the processed material conduces to achieve better effects. A great advantage of the use of the laser cutting machine is less engagement of an employee in the operating process but increased one in the control over it.

How does a training in the use of laser cutting machines look like?

Out training in the use of laser cutting machines lasts 5 days, 3 of them are devoted to practical classes. It is conducted only by experienced operators of CNC machines, MetFab employees. The trainings usually take place in our machine park. However, there is a possibility to conduct them at the customer’s site. Additionally, the classes are organised individually or in groups, depending on the expectations and individual preferences. After completing the training in the use of laser cutting machines, every participant receives a certificate confirming obtained skills.

After the training in the use of laser cutting machines a participant:

1. Has the knowledge of laser material processing, understands its basic aspects and is able to use this knowledge in practice.

2. Operates programmes controlling laser cutting machines.

3. Can comprehensively operate a TEKIO laser cutting machine.

4. Adjusts the laser cutting machine to particular working conditions and expected results.

5. Performs measurements and is able to analyse particular parameters of the work of a laser cutting machine.

6. Knows how to manage the operating time of a machine and, as a result, maximally use its potential.
