Oxygen, Nitrogen or Co2 supply a gas jet to eject the molten material from the cut and leave a clean edge. A continuous cut is produced by moving the laser beam or work piece under CNC control. Laser Cutting Applications Laser cutting is the largest industrial application of higher power lasers. Laser cutting applications range from prototyping and smaller batch manufacturing up to continuous production line systems. The process lends itself to automation with offline CAD/CAM systems controlling either 3-axis flat bed systems or 6-axis robots for three dimensional laser cutting. In recent years the increase in laser cutting has been dramatic, replacing more conventional mechanical processes due to increased flexibility. The improvements in accuracy and heat input control means that other profiling techniques such as plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting are being replaced by laser cutting.
