Laser Profiling

Continued investment at BW has seen it add to its profiling facilities with the addition of a 10kw 4 metre x 2.0 metre flat bed laser – this will be operational during October 2021 and the addition compliments the existing 9 metre x 3 metre and 3 metre x 1.5 metre machines and further compliments our press facilities which includes a 9 metre LVD Easy-form press.

The fiber laser brings speed to the accuracy of the existing machinery and a similar machine can be viewed in the video below:

These fast and accurate machines, combined with a very large work area, allows high quality cutting of any shape component giving volume productivity at minimum cost.

With computer controls and 2D Cad/Cam with automatic ‘nesting’ and with up to 10Kw of laser power, speed is combined with minimal scrap returns. The speed of cutting on the laser does not invoke heat dissipation with the components, therefore eliminating any distortion which would occur with normal cutting techniques.

The larger of our lasers has probably the longest single bed length in the UK, allowing unrivalled flat bed length and flexibility, including a local work area (for small sheet sizes), a long work area (for longer length sheet and plate) and a split work area (for different size plates / sheets in length, width or gauge). We can cut up to 25mm Mild Steel (3m x 1.5m) or 20mm (9m x 3m) 10mm giving BW Industries a leading place in laser cutting cutting technology. This further complimented by the our press-forming centre in which we can form sections up to 9 metres in one piece.
