Segment‑oriented Industry Solutions
Carbon Steel Plate Cutting
Industry Pain Points
Carbon steel is the most widely used raw material in general manufacturing. Traditional flame or plasma cutting causes edge oxidation and requires secondary machining. For medium-thick plates, thermal deformation can occur. High-speed blanking for large volumes faces efficiency bottlenecks, and keeping the cutting edge clean for subsequent welding is difficult.
- Thermal deformation and large heat-affected zones in thick plates
- Edge oxidation and dross require extensive secondary grinding
- Traditional cutting speed is slow for high-volume blanking
- High kerf width leads to material waste
Our Laser Solution
High-power fiber laser provides fast and clean cutting for carbon steel plates. With air or oxygen assist, it achieves high-speed blanking with minimal heat input. The narrow kerf saves material, and the clean edge is ready for immediate welding or painting. Perfect for general structural plates, machinery base plates, and general blanking.
- High-speed cutting drastically improves blanking efficiency
- Narrow heat-affected zone prevents thermal deformation
- Clean cut edges eliminate or minimize post-grinding
- Narrow kerf reduces material waste and saves costs
Stainless Steel Fabrication
Industry Pain Points
Stainless steel is widely used in food processing, chemical equipment, and architectural decoration. Traditional cutting methods often cause "heat tint" (oxidation) along the edge, which affects corrosion resistance and aesthetics. Mechanical cutting can cause work hardening. Precise cutting without damaging the surface finish is a major challenge.
- Oxidation and heat tint damage corrosion resistance
- Mechanical cutting causes work hardening and tool wear
- Surface is easily scratched during traditional processing
- High precision required for seam welding fit-up
Our Laser Solution
Fiber laser cutting with nitrogen assist provides a high-quality, oxidation-free cutting edge for stainless steel. The bright, clean edge requires no secondary pickling or polishing, preserving the anti-corrosion properties. Non-contact processing protects the surface finish. Ideal for kitchen equipment, chemical vessels, and precision stainless components.
- Nitrogen cutting produces bright, oxidation-free edges
- Preserves excellent corrosion resistance without pickling
- Non-contact process protects delicate surface finishes
- Perfect edge quality for seamless welding
Alloy Steel & Wear Parts
Industry Pain Points
Alloy steel and wear-resistant plates (like NM400, NM500) are used in demanding environments. Their extreme hardness makes traditional machining very difficult, causing severe tool wear and slow processing. Thermal cutting can alter the hardness of the edge, leading to premature failure of the wear part.
- Extreme hardness causes severe tool wear and high costs
- Traditional machining is extremely slow for wear plates
- High heat input can soften the wear-resistant edge
- Complex shapes are difficult to cut with mechanical tools
Our Laser Solution
High-power fiber laser cuts through alloy and wear-resistant steels with ease. Being a non-contact process, it avoids tool wear completely. Optimized cutting parameters minimize the heat-affected zone, preserving the hardness and wear resistance of the material. Fast processing for complex shapes and hole arrays in heavy machinery parts.
- Non-contact cutting eliminates tool wear on hard materials
- Minimal heat input preserves the original wear resistance
- Fast and precise cutting for complex wear part geometries
- High process reliability for challenging alloy materials
Thick Plate & Heavy Parts
Industry Pain Points
Heavy machinery and large equipment require thick steel plates (20mm-50mm+). Traditional cutting methods struggle with efficiency, accuracy, and edge quality on such thicknesses. Large heat input causes severe deformation, and multi-step machining for bevels is slow and expensive.
- Slow cutting speed and poor edge quality on thick plates
- High heat input causes severe thermal deformation
- Multi-step machining for thick plate bevels is inefficient
- High labor intensity for handling and secondary grinding
Our Laser Solution
Ultra-high-power fiber laser systems (12kW-30kW+) handle heavy thick plates with high precision. The narrow heat-affected zone prevents deformation. Equipped with a bevel head, it can prepare V/Y grooves in one step, drastically reducing welding preparation time. Ideal for heavy machinery bases, large structural nodes, and thick mechanical parts.
- High-power laser cuts thick plates with minimal deformation
- One-step bevel cutting for welding preparation
- High precision ensures accurate fit-up for heavy parts
- Reduces secondary machining time and labor costs

Steel Flanges & Connectors
Industry Pain Points
Steel flanges and pipe connectors require precise circular outlines and perfectly aligned bolt-hole arrays. Traditional drilling or multi-step machining often leads to accumulated tolerance and misalignment. The center hole and outer profile must be perfectly concentric.
- Accumulated tolerance in bolt-hole drilling
