Technology of plate metal laser cutting

Metalworking with laser is an automated and highly-technological process that has a range of important advantages if compared to other ways of metal cutting:

• Optional part configuration - actually restricted only by imagination of designer or design engineer. The technology of metal laser cutting allows making in the material openings of very small size with diameter from 1 mm.
• Low material waste – laser metal cutting is performed subject to the ready schemes and drawings that makes the process almost wasteless due to minimization of trimmings and remains.
• Laser metal cutting allows substantial economy with small product batches as it is more practical and reasonable to perform laser metal tailoring than to additionally purchase quite expensive casting molds and dies or matrices especially for small-batch production.
• Speed and automation of laser cutting process – automated metal cutting differs from other ways with its speed that is a substantial advantage especially for performance of large-scale industrial orders.

Equipment technical capacities

• Plate dimensions — 3000 х 1500 mm.
• Positioning precision — to 0.05 mm.
• Cutting width — from 0.3 to 0.65 mm.
• Cutting speed — to 10 m/min.

Maximum cutting thickness for different materials:

• Black metal ≤30 mm.
• Stainless steel ≤15 mm.
• Aluminum alloys ≤8 мм.

The equipment of K-TEK also includes bending hydraulic multiaxial presses with CNC, produced by famous brands AMADA and DURMA, that generate power up to 200kN and are meant for work with plate blanks up to 8 mm wide, and performance of bending with length of lines up to 3000mm.

Qualification of our staff and experience of our company allow performing tasks of different complexity and controlling all the stages of the manufacturing process. This is the only way to ensure fulfillment of customers’ orders with maximum results.

Metal bending allows reducing the cost of blank or product manufacturing processes. Automation of processes and high precision ensures efficiency and speed of orders fulfillment of different complexity levels. Owing to combination with laser cutting, a range of products to be produced with use of metal bending is significantly expanded.

MIG-MAG

MIG-MAG welding is the most widely used type of welding in industry. It uses the heat of an electric arc to heat the metal being welded and the filler metal to their melting points.

AC/DC TIG

The TIG process involves creating an electric current arcing between non-melting electrodes (tungsten) and the part to be welded. With this process, you can weld with or without filler metal. The welds are higher quality, but the process is slower.

MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION

Magnetic particle testing is a method of nondestructive testing used to detect surface defects: occurring on the surface or down to a few millimeters deep. Magnetopowder inspection is to magnetize the inspected part by a strong enough magnetic field.

If a gap (defect) exists, the magnetic field lines are distorted, creating a "magnetic scatter field", which becomes visible to the naked eye due to the indicator product applied to the surface for inspection.

The defect becomes visible due to the black color and/or fluorescent indicator product that is attracted around the defect.

It allows the inspection of parts made of steel, cast iron, wrought steels, welds, sheets, pipes... all kinds of parts of simple or complex geometry, as long as the material used is ferromagnetic in nature. It is widely used in both production and maintenance.

After cleaning, product surface acquires peculiarities that cannot be reached with use of conventional technologies:

• atmospheric durability;
• chemical resistance to solutions of multiple acids;
• high strength, elasticity;
• opportunity to make coating of 150 µm with one application;
• wide range of colors (RAL) and special effects that unite protective and decorative features for making all textures, color shades, surfaces with different levels of gloss and texture impression.

To assure maximum coating quality we use up-to-date equipment that allows making coating of product with the following dimensions:

• length ≤ 3 m
• height ≤ 1.5 m

After coating the company employees can perform assembly and packing or ready products upon request.
