Laser cutting of copper
Working with laser cutting of copper places high demands on both machine and method. With our Bystronic Fiber Laser of 10 kW, we have the capacity to cut copper material up to 15 mm thick, with full control over cut quality and heat impact. The process is well suited for both prototype series and large-scale production in electrical engineering, industrial components and specialized manufacturing.

Copper as material
Copper material has unique properties that make it technically challenging to cut, primarily its high reflectivity and thermal conductivity. Traditional laser techniques risk giving uneven cuts or damaging the optics if misaligned. Our solution is based on utilizing the fiber laser's wavelength and power to safely penetrate the material while maintaining detail.
By optimizing cutting speed, focus depth and shielding gas (nitrogen or argon), we create cuts with minimal oxidation and slag, resulting in clean edges and reducing the need for post-processing.
Machinery & process control
Our production environment is adapted to handle large copper sheets up to 4000 x 2000 mm. Each cut is digitally monitored and calibrated based on the thickness and alloy of the material. We work according to current safety and quality regulations, such as AFS 2006:4, with documented processes that guarantee traceability and repeatability.
Advantages of our laser cutting of copper:
- Laser cutting of copper up to 15 mm
- Stable and controlled process with 10 kW fiber laser
- Adaptation for both pure copper sheets and alloyed variants
- Clean cut surface, low heat impact, minimal post-processing
- Complementary services such as construction, welding and pressfitting
