Years of Expertise

Falcon have been laser cutting for many years and over that time have built up a wealth of expertise in this area.

The laser machine comes with suggested operational specifications but it is our laser operators’ insight that can deliver an even greater level of efficiency.

The standard roughness of a cut can increase with the sheet thickness but decrease depending on the laser power and cutting speed.  Performance can also be affected by the gas flow.

Our experienced laser operators understand specific cutting applications.  They know what gas, what nozzle, and what speed combinations to use.  They are therefore able to obtain the best laser cutting results in terms of quality and productivity.  This in turn is passed on to our customers who will receive quality product, on time and at a competitive price.

Helping you get the Best Design

Falcon’s CAD/CAM engineers will work closely with you at the design stage to achieve the best design for manufacture.

Using Autodesk Inventor® 3D CAD modelling, we are able to receive and process electronic drawings in virtually all formats – we can also work from paper drawings and concepts.   Once the design is finalised we can supply fast turnaround laser cut prototypes followed by production batches.

There are a number of advantages with laser cutting:

• Intricate and complex profiles can be cut
• There are zero tooling and reduced set up costs
• Consistent results are achieved as the laser beam will not wear during the process
• Contamination is reduced with non-contact cutting
• Material warping is minimised as there is only a small heat affected area
• It is suitable for fast turnaround prototypes, small batch or production quantities
