Films and TV have accustomed us to thinking about laser technology as futuristic, like something from Star Wars or space battles. But actually, laser technology has been a part of our daily production routine for a long time.
At OMS, we have always focused on innovation. Better equipment allows us to be more competitive and enables us to produce with greater precision.
Since September, we have installed a new laser cutting system with a fibre source, complementing the traditional CO2 laser cutting already underway in our carpentry division.
The CO2 source generates emissions at 10 µm, while fibre stops at 1 µm. This difference in wavelength makes the fibre faster and more powerful when cutting: excellent attributes for quickly cutting very thin materials, as well as special materials such as pure aluminium.
The fibre cutting performance is optimised for thin metal, up to a thickness of 3 mm. For thicknesses greater than this, CO2 laser cutting is the preferred choice, which can also be used for a variety of materials, such as wood, acrylic films and foils.
With its carpentry department, OMS caters to all sectors across the board, from prototyping to series production. Our customers are part of the office world, but also part of the industrial sector, with the production of machines for woodworking and glass, and agricultural machinery.
