Aluma Shield® offers laser cutting and forming services for aluminum parts to the OEM and replacement part markets. We serve a wide range of industries, including the automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, military, agricultural, medical, and power generation industries.
Aluminum formed and laser-cut parts are strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant. Due to the reflective nature of the metal, aluminum parts are generally cut with solid state lasers to minimize reflection of the laser beam off the metal. This decreases the effectiveness of the laser beam and increases cutting time. Thin parts are cut with either continuous or pulse laser beams to achieve high accuracy and a precise edge on the part. Thicker parts are cut using sublimation using fiber lasers or short pulse lasers. Both processes use mirror deflection systems to minimize reflection and maximize the efficiency of the laser beam.
