Massive Format Fiber Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is the ultimate choice for executing complex flat pattern geometries with exceptional edge quality. By utilizing high-wattage fiber lasers, we achieve burr-free cuts that require zero secondary machining or manual edge-grinding prior to structural assembly or welding.
Standard job shops are limited to 4-meter sheets. At Openex, we operate colossal multi-gantry CNC laser cutting lines extending up to 25+ meters in length. This extraordinary scale allows us to cut massive singular web plates for heavy truck frames and structural bridges in one continuous pass, or optimally nest hundreds of smaller components across a giant master plate to maximize your material yield.
The Fiber Laser Advantage
We deploy high-wattage fiber lasers specifically tuned for thick metal plates. Compared to traditional profile cutting, laser processing offers critical structural benefits:
- Narrow Heat Affected Zone (HAZ)
The hyper-focused beam induces very little ambient heat into the parent metal. This prevents micro-warping on large, long profiles and maintains the material's hardened structural integrity.
- Weld-Ready Edge Quality
Parts come off our cutting beds perfectly squared and burr-free. Your heavy assemblies move instantly into press braking or submerged arc welding without costly edge prep bottlenecks.
- Pinpoint CNC Tolerances
Positioning and cut precision down to ±0.1mm. Essential for multi-layered mechanical flanges, architectural structures, and perfectly mating structural joints.
- Intelligent DXF Nesting
We intake your exact DXF, DWG, or STEP models and run them through SigmaNest optimization software to crowd parts perfectly, dramatically lowering your scrap waste rates.
