The laser beam is a multifunctional tool. Its strength lies in the ability to work various types of metals, of small and large thickness. Simple and complex geometries can be designed and created. Laser beams process pieces and prepare them for assembly, with very high quality edges. Quality, flexibility and economy are the strengths of laser cutting. This technology responds just about ideally to the demands of modern manufacturing.

For example drilling processes on high thickness, traditionally involving punching that would inevitably lead to breakage of the cutting tools, are performed without difficulty using laser cutting technology.
Some significant examples:

• 3 mm thickness - 1.5 mm hole diameter
• 8 mm thickness - 4.0 mm hole diameter
• 15 mm thickness - 7.0 mm hole diameter
