Thermal cutting
Thermal cutting methods is a reliable process for separating materials, most often metals, using high temperatures. This technology allows for precise shaping of components by melting or burning the material at the cut line. Thermal cutting is widely used in industry, especially in the metallurgical, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
Our available thermal processing equipment offers numerous benefits, including increased efficiency and reduced production costs. As an alternative to oxy-fuel and plasma cutting—primarily used for non-alloyed and low-alloyed steels—laser cutting is also employed. Although laser technology involves higher initial investment costs, modern project requirements often necessitate the use of such advanced production tools.

FAQ
Thermal Cutting and Its Uses
● Laser cutting machines allow achieving the highest quality of the cut edge and the utmost precision. Depending on the laser beam technology used (fiber, CO₂ Cross-Flow), it is possible to process various types of metals—ordinary, stainless, aluminum—as well as colored materials. When speed is the priority for cutting thin materials, including a wide range of colored materials, fiber technology is used, which has gained popularity in recent years due to technological improvements. Its advantage is undoubtedly lower energy consumption, translating into measurable cost reductions. Processing materials thicker than 6-8 mm, especially stainless steel, continues to be the domain of CO₂ lasers (Mitsubishi Cross-Flow), which offer the best achievable edge quality for laser cutting.
What are the main advantages of laser cutting?
● Laser cutting offers several significant benefits. Most importantly, it provides exceptional precision and aesthetic quality—the edges of cut parts are clean and smooth, eliminating the need for additional finishing. Laser machines operate quickly and efficiently, reducing production time. Moreover, the narrow cut kerf minimizes material waste. The technology also allows for easy fabrication of very complex shapes and patterns.
What materials can be cut with laser cutting machines?
● Laser cutters handle various materials—both metals and plastics. They are most commonly used for cutting carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Depending on the type of laser used (e.g., fiber or CO₂), it is also possible to cut wood, plywood, acrylic, or composites. Due to their versatility, laser cutting machines are indispensable in many industrial fields.
How do fiber laser machines differ from CO₂ lasers?
● Fiber laser cutters are modern devices characterized by high efficiency, low energy consumption, and long-lasting laser sources. They are ideal for cutting metals—both thin and thick—and offer very fast working speeds. CO₂ lasers, on the other hand, are better suited for non-metallic materials but are less efficient for cutting metals. Therefore, fiber laser machines are currently the most popular choice for companies seeking efficient and versatile solutions.
What should I consider when choosing a laser cutter?
● When selecting a laser cutter, it’s important to consider several key factors: the type and thickness of the materials you plan to process, the required precision, the scale of production, and your available budget. Also important are automation options, worktable dimensions, and the level of technical support from the supplier. Polteknik offers a wide range of laser cutting machines, and our advisors help select the model that best fits your needs.
Does Polteknik offer training and service for laser cutting machines?
● Yes, purchasing a laser cutter from Polteknik means not only investing in equipment but also gaining comprehensive support. We offer professional operator training to fully utilize the capabilities of the machines. We also provide quick warranty and post-warranty service, access to spare parts, remote diagnostics, and technical advice. All of this ensures smooth production with laser cutting technology, minimizing downtime.
Quality and Satisfaction Guarantee
● The fiber and CO₂ Cross Flow laser cutters available in our offer represent world-class quality. They are manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi Electric, one of the pioneers in laser technology for industrial applications and currently one of the largest suppliers of such equipment worldwide. Mitsubishi Electric produces laser cutters based on its own components, including sources, drives, electronic components, cutting heads, and control systems. Mitsubishi laser cutters guarantee reliable laser processing for many years, even under three-shift workloads. Complementing the range of fiber laser cutters are machines produced by the Turkish company Baykal, based on components from reputable European and U.S. suppliers. In thermal processing, Baykal also produces high-quality plasma cutters, which remain irreplaceable for processing materials thicker than 25 mm.
