When cutting sheet metal, Laser Cutting Design in Coimbatore for metals is more precise[ and uses less energy than plasma cutting; however, most industrial lasers cannot cut through the greater metal thickness that plasma can. Newer laser cutting machines with higher power ratings (6000 watts, as opposed to early laser cutting machines’ 1500 watt ratings) are approaching plasma cutting machines in their ability to cut through thick materials, but the capital cost of such machines is much higher than that of plasma cutting machines capable of cutting thick materials like steel plate.
