Using Synrad lasers for cutting Bronze mesh!
|
Although Bronze is a highly reflective material, we were able to cut the 0.028” thick mesh using a Synrad 240W CO2 laser and 40 psi Oxygen assist gas at a speed of 7 inches per minute. We were able to increase the cutting speed to 32 inches per minute by simply placing a 0.01” thick sheet of paper on top of the mesh. The paper provides an extra layer of absorption of the wavelength, transmitting more of the laser heat into cutting power. The spacing between the wires, rather than having a solid sheet, also aids in the absorption of the laser beam.
