As the material is processed, it passes through various stages such as reduction, flatness correction, and trimming. Reduction refers to the initial rolling process where the thickness is significantly decreased. Flatness correction ensures that the metal strip has a uniform flat profile, while trimming involves cutting the edges to remove any irregularities developed during previous stages. Advanced control systems are employed during these processes to monitor and adjust parameters dynamically, ensuring that the final product meets stringent specifications.
2. Reduced Material Waste The precision of laser cutting minimizes kerf—the width of the cut—resulting in less wasted material. This not only optimizes material usage but also reduces costs, making the process more economically viable. Additionally, the ability to nest parts efficiently on the material sheet means more components can be produced per sheet, further reducing waste.
