At Salop Design & Engineering, our 6kW Amada Fibre 2D Laser Cutter delivers high-speed, precision sheet metal profiling with exceptional edge quality and tight tolerances. As one of the trusted laser cutting suppliers in the Midlands, we offer a reliable and scalable solution for industries requiring fast turnaround, high-quality parts, and material flexibility.
Why Use Fibre Laser Cutting?
Fibre laser cutting is one of the most advanced and efficient methods for flat sheet metal profiling. Using a high-density laser beam focused via fibre optics, the process ensures clean, burr-free cuts across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials with minimal heat distortion.
Technical Benefits:
High Cutting Speed & Efficiency
Our 6kW Amada Fibre Laser achieves cutting speeds up to 5x faster than CO₂ lasers on thin materials. The high power and beam quality allow rapid processing of mild steel, stainless, aluminium, copper and brass, even at high production volumes.
Clean Edge Finish & Minimal Post-Processing
The focused beam and high-speed nitrogen gas assist, result in oxide-free edges and minimal dross, reducing the need for secondary deburring or surface prep—particularly important for visible or welded parts.
Advanced Nesting & Material Utilisation
We use intelligent nesting software to maximise sheet usage and reduce waste. Combined with our lean workflow and scheduling, this provides clients with competitive pricing and minimal material scrap.
Tight Tolerances & Precision
Thanks to a laser spot size of less than 0.1 mm and real-time CNC control, our laser system achieves exceptional dimensional accuracy and repeatability. This is critical for components requiring precise hole diameters, intricate contours, or interlocking features.
Material Thickness Capability
Capable of cutting:
– Mild Steel: up to 25mm
– Stainless Steel: up to 20mm
– Aluminium: up to 16mm
– Copper & Brass: up to 10mm
Automation & Smart Controls
Equipped with an automated loading and unloading system, our fibre laser minimises downtime and enables lights-out production for repeat batches. Integrated monitoring systems ensure consistent cut quality and process stability.
Application Example:
Our fibre laser is used daily to produce precision parts for clients in the automotive, appliance, and defence sectors—ranging from brackets and covers to enclosures and detailed profiles. The quality, speed, and versatility of the system make it ideal for both prototyping and full production runs.
