The 4.4Kw resonator gives the capacity to cut 25mm carbon steel, 15mm stainless steel & 10mm aluminium. Thin sheet cutting performance is quite spectacular with axis speeds in excess of 20M/Min regularly being achieved.

A major cost consideration when laser cutting is the choice of assist gas, whilst nitrogen offers the very best in edge quality & cutting speed the amount of bottled gas needed can add considerably to component cost. At Ackerman Engineering we have addressed nitrogen consumption by installing our own in-house nitrogen generation plant. With the unlimited availability of very low cost nitrogen (we only produce the amount that we need) it is our cutting assist gas of choice. Low cost nitrogen gives clean burr free edges which are free from discolouration or oxidisation making them ideal for onward operations such as welding or painting.

Maximum sheet size is 3000 x 1500 and all ferrous & non-ferrous metals (excluding copper) can be cut. We offer nitrogen cut oxide free edge quality on all stainless steel & aluminium cutting. On mild steel up to 5.0mm thick we also use nitrogen cut oxide free, however on thicker mild steel (6.0mm to 25.0mm) we use oxygen which gives faster cutting times.

Sophisticated Bysoft CAD/CAM computer software allows complex components and nests to be programmed with great ease and efficiency. The software accepts direct customer data input in DXF, DWG, ME10/ME30 & IGES formats.
