Nowadays, the main task of a locksmith is cold metal processing – manually or with the use of power tools. The scope of work of a locksmith includes small parts of mechanisms, minor machining and manual processing of steel, stainless steel and aluminum surfaces.
A locksmith is treated as a welder’s assistant, because he is very often responsible for preparing materials for welding and their subsequent processing in order to apply protective coatings.
The very wide range of skills that a locksmith must have include everything related to mechanics (assembly and disassembly of devices), cutting, sawing, drilling, riveting, soldering and skills in the field of electrical engineering and hydraulics. Also metal science is a very important field of knowledge that a locksmith must acquire – testing the hardness, strength, elasticity, impact strength, plasticity and other basic characteristics of metals is the knowledge necessary for the proper performance of locksmith’s profession.

Laser cutting - what is it?
Laser cutting is a process of material processing using a hot laser beam and technical gas. The laser vaporizes, melts or burns the workpiece. This technique allows to give a precise shape and parameters to the material, which allows you to obtain an accurate result with equally beveled edges. Thanks to its wide application and numerous advantages, this process has gained great popularity.
It involves using the power of the laser beam to affect a point of the material, causing it to be cut under the influence of high temperatures. The entire process is non-contact, which means that the tools wear out to a minimum.
Principles of laser cutting
The principles in laser cutting of sheet metal, pipes and profiles will be similar. It's all about selecting the right tool and a specific cutting technique. Depending on the order parameters, a nozzle with a specific diameter and laser power may be selected. What is important about laser cutting is that it is a non-contact process. This means that the impact of heat on the processed material is limited. Minimum heat zones are created to ensure a thorough machining process.
Application of laser cutting
Laser cutting is a heat treatment process that owes its popularity to its wide application. It is most often used for laser cutting of sheet metal, pipes and profiles. It can be used to process a wide range of materials, such as various metals - steel, aluminum, copper or bronze, plastics - e.g. acrylic or polyester, as well as other materials such as wood, leather or food. Such a wide application means that this process is used in many industries, such as construction, electronics, automotive, aviation, food, furniture and others.
In addition to flat surfaces, it is used for 3D cutting of profiles and pipes. It does not create burrs, which is why it is widely used in the automotive industry for cutting exhaust system elements.
Benefits of laser cutting
Laser cutting is a technology that allows you to quickly and cheaply obtain an element of any complex shape from various types of flat sheets.
The undoubted advantages of this process are:
- Freedom of shapes, limited only by the properties of a given material
- 100% repeatability of detailing
- For given types of materials and their thickness, the cutting surface is of a quality that allows the elimination of the finishing process
- The best possible use of the material surface - thanks to the use of appropriate computer programs, we achieve a very high percentage of sheet metal utilization and can appropriately optimize the production process
- Reducing the influence of heat on the deformation of the cut material
- Very high flexibility in the number of elements produced - one piece or several thousand does not make any difference in technical terms
- Engraving elements - during the laser cutting process, you can immediately use the element marking technique
Factors influencing cutting with laser
Laser cutting is a process whose operation is influenced by a number of factors. Most of them are related to the tool used and the material being processed, which is often also noticeable in other machining processes. The factors that influence this process are:
- Processed material - The heat conductivity and brittleness of the material will have a direct impact on this process. Depending on the material being processed, it will be necessary to select appropriate parameters.
- Cutting speed - The accuracy and evenness of the cuts will depend on the cutting speed. Due to the fact that we have a high-power laser, we will be able to process it quickly, but at the same time, the faster it is, the less accurate it is, as there is a risk of burrs, burns or a rough surface of the cut edge.
- Laser Power - High laser power will favor not only the cutting speed, but also how thick the material being processed can be. You should select the appropriate power, which is adjusted depending on the material being cut and its thickness.
- Nozzle selection - Selecting the appropriate tool and its diameter will allow you to specify the accuracy with which the laser cutting process will take place.
- Material thickness - In the case of thicker materials, it will be necessary to select the appropriate tool and its power. If you need to process very thick material, it is possible that water jet or plasma cutting will be a better method.
- Order parameters - Specific order guidelines are a key point in choosing this method. Production volume, lead time and many other factors will influence whether it is more profitable to use laser cutting or another thermal or machining process.
Frequently asked questions
What materials can be cut with a laser?
A laser can cut a number of materials, including metals such as steel, aluminum, copper and bronze, as well as plastics such as polyester and acrylic, and others such as wood and food.
What materials cannot be cut with this process?
It is difficult to use this process to cut brittle materials that are susceptible to heat. These include aggregates and glass. Water jet cutting is better suited for these materials.
How much does laser cutting cost?
The cost of laser cutting will depend on specific order parameters, such as production volume, processed material, lead time, etc. In general, this process is cheaper than other cutting methods, but its adaptation to a specific project will depend on the requirements.
What can be cut with this process?
This process is used to cut sheet metal, as well as pipes and profiles. Perfect for both flat and 3D surfaces.
