- square tubes: up to 140 × 140 mm
- rectangular and special profiles
- Effective pipe length: 3.5 m
The laser enables clean internal edges, precise joints and minimal oxide deposition.
Tubular construction is used in the production of gates , handrails and handrails and supporting frames.
Laser cutting process
At Metal-inox, we view laser cutting as an engineering process, not just a cutting operation.
Each project goes through clearly defined phases that ensure stability, precision and repeatability.
1. Preparation and analysis of technical documentation
(DWG, DXF, PDF)
We start each project with a review of drawings and technical requirements. Based on the geometry, tolerances, type of metal and thickness, we determine the optimal cutting parameters.
This step is crucial for the accuracy and repeatability of the subsequent process.
2. Defining and adjusting laser parameters
Using the CNC system, we adjust:
- laser focus point,
- radiation strength and density,
- the type and pressure of the assisting gas (oxygen/nitrogen),
- head movement speed,
- head height above the material.
This parameterization directly affects the quality of the edge, the width of the cut, the thermal effect and the speed of the whole process.
3. Drilling (piercing) for internal contours
When the cut is started from the surface, and not from the edge of the plate, the so-called piercing.
A pulsed laser beam of high power is used, which penetrates the material in a fraction of a second.
The depth, duration and energy of the pulse are adjusted to the thickness and type of metal.
4. CNC laser cutting
During cutting, the laser beam is focused through optical fibers on a micro point that reaches the melting temperature of the metal.
The CNC system provides:
- constant distance of the head from the material,
- stable focus,
- uniformity of cut width,
- precise tracing of contours, even with complex shapes.
The main advantage of the fiber laser is that the beam is transmitted by an optical cable, which achieves greater stability and less energy loss compared to CO₂ technology.
5. Optimized assist gas
Oxygen and nitrogen are used to:
- removed the molten material from the incision,
- prevented oxidation deposition,
- achieve the smoothest possible edge,
- enabled faster and better cutting of larger thicknesses.
The choice of gas depends on the type of metal, its thickness and the required quality of the finish.
6. Quality control and finishing
After the cut is complete, each component undergoes a thorough inspection:
- dimensional accuracy,
- linear and angular tolerances,
- edge quality without oxidation,
- thermal stability of the material.
After laser cutting, many projects go through additional processes — such as welding and sheet metal bending — to produce finished elements ready for installation.
7. Delivery and logistical preparation
After inspection, the components are packed and prepared for delivery or further processing within our production facility.
Advantages of laser cutting
- Minimal deformation – a small zone of thermal influence
- High repeatability – ideal for serial production
- Speed of production – significant savings in time and costs
- Clean edges without burrs – reduces additional processing
- High precision and control – the process is controlled by a CNC system
This quality is especially evident in furniture , radiators and precise decorative elements .
Industrial application of laser cutting
Metal-inox manufactures components and subassemblies for a wide range of industries, including:
- automotive systems and precision machine parts,
- mechanical industry (including assemblies that require welding and machining),
- metal processing companies (with additional processes such as sheet metal bending and preparation of semi-finished products),
- construction equipment and structures (as well as the production of canopies for commercial and industrial buildings),
- food industry (stainless steel elements of high hygiene standard),
- pharmaceutical and chemical industry,
- architecture and design (e.g. production of decorative elements and stainless steel fences ),
- energy (carriers, structures and specialized elements such as steel gates and industrial barriers).
Laser cutting is an excellent way to produce prototypes, but also mass production for a large number of products.
The cost of laser cutting
The price depends on:
- types of materials

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about laser metal cutting
Laser metal cutting is a technology that uses a high-intensity laser beam that, in synergy with an inert gas, cuts the material.
This type of metal cutting works by aiming a high-powered laser directly at the metal through optics. Laser optics, together with computer numerical control – CNC (computer numerical control)is used to direct the generated laser beam. A focused laser beam is directed at the metal, which is then melted, burned, vaporized or blown away by a pressurized air jet, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish. . In addition to sheet metal, pipes and profiles can also be laser cut.
Metal-inox uses two fiber lasers with a power of 3 kW and 15 kW , which allows us an extremely wide range of thicknesses:
steel – up to 50 mm
stainless steel – up to 50 mm
aluminum – up to 25 mm
copper – up to 25 mm
brass – up to 25 mm
For thinner materials, we use high speeds and small tolerances, while the 15 kW laser enables stable cutting of large thicknesses and demanding geometries.
Yes. The CNC fiber laser provides a high level of precision, which enables:
complex internal contours
micro-holes
irregular external shapes
precise industrial elements
parts for prototypes and serial production
The controlled width of the cut and the minimal heat zone enable extremely precise geometries that classical methods cannot achieve.
Yes, we laser cut pipes and profiles of the following dimensions:
round pipes: fi20 to fi200 mm
square tubes: up to 140 × 140 mm
rectangular and special profiles (by dimensions)
effective pipe length: 3.5 m
Thanks to fiber technology, the cut is extremely clean and precise, ideal for load-bearing structures, fences, frames, machine components and decorative elements.
We primarily use oxygen and nitrogen :
Oxygen
Used for carbon steel, it increases the cutting speed and ensures stable penetration.Nitrogen
It is used for stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass.
It provides a clean, shiny and oxide-free cut — meaning that post-processing is often unnecessary.
Gas selection is critical to edge quality, cutting speed and finish.
Depending on the type of laser and material:
The 3 kW laser provides precision up to ±0.1 mm
15 kW industrial laser ensures precision up to ±0.02 mm
This is especially important with machined parts, joints, prototypes and assemblies that require minimal deviations.
No, thanks to:
small zone of thermal influence (minimum heat input)
precise beam focus
stable CNC control
optimal flow of assisting gas
Deformations are reduced to a minimum, even with thinner sheets.
Yes — laser cutting is ideal for:
prototypes
test series
small and medium series
individual special parts
quick production without additional tools
Due to the CNC control, each piece has the same repeatability and precision.
The best formats for preparation are:
DWG
DXF
PDF with vector outlines
If necessary, we can optimize or correct drawings according to the technological requirements of the process.
The price depends on:
types of materials
thickness
complexity of geometry
cut length
number of pieces
the need for additional processing (bending, welding, grinding…)
We always strive to offer the optimal solution that combines quality, speed and economy.
