BENEFITS OF BEAM FOR THE METALS INDUSTRY

Cost-effectively produce small runs and prototypes.

Beam Dynamics’ die-less cutting technique uses computer generated cutting paths to make it incredibly easy and inexpensive for cutting jobs of any size. No dies or expensive re-tooling is necessary when cutting parts, meaning you can increase profits on short runs. With a faster turn-around and lower costs, you’ll be able to take on more jobs, be more competitive, and ultimately bring in more customers.

Create dross-free edges without deburring.

Conventional steels of up to 1.5 mm cut extremely well with nitrogen or oxygen assisted laser cutting. Our high powered, sealed CO₂ laser systems offer “clean cutting” of stainless steel using a nitrogen assist gas. This high powered application is simple, effective and inexpensive to run and maintain on a Beam Dynamics machine.

Develop fine detail and intricate parts with ease.

Laser cutting greatly simplifies the design and manufacturing process. It frees you to design complex parts that are difficult to make with conventional tools. The focused laser beam, as small as .004”, produces intricate detail and very sharp corners. The process is non-contact, allowing very thin metals to be cut without damage. There are also no cutting tools that can wear or break, which means less downtime, fewer maintenance costs, and consistent precision over time.

Reduce costs and operator time.

All types of materials can be cut rapidly and cost-effectively—whether it’s a prototype, small job, or full production run. Our machines are so easy to use that a single operator can run several machines simultaneously, increasing throughput and decreasing costs. With virtually no setup time, multiple pallets, and automated operation, there can be a dramatic reduction in operating hours compared to traditional cutting machines. You can create complex designs with no setup fees, retooling costs, or time-consuming setup changes. The process is non-contact, so there are no expensive cutting tools to wear or break.

Precise, non-contact metal cutting without tooling.

You can perform small jobs, large productions, fine engraving, and detailed parts with equal efficiency and accuracy on a BEAM machine. The BEAM machine is ideal for cutting perfect parts from many types of sheet metal. Our machines eliminate expensive retooling costs and time-consuming stamps by quickly and easily producing parts directly from the original CAD files. Be it a small run, a complicated part, or even just engraving, Beam Dynamics’ machines are the most flexible cutting tools for any production shop.
