High-Speed Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Mild Steel Sheets & Plates
Our advanced fiber laser cutting machine is specially engineered for mild steel (MS) sheet and plate cutting, delivering high cutting speed, excellent accuracy, and low production cost per part..
Designed for heavy-duty industrial use, this machine efficiently handles both thin MS sheets and thick mild steel plates with consistent performance.
Whether you run a fabrication unit or an OEM manufacturing setup, this solution ensures faster output, reduced material waste, and reliable long-term operation.
Why Laser Cutting for Mild Steel?
Mild steel (MS) sheets and plates are widely used in industrial fabrication, but traditional cutting methods such as plasma cutting and oxy-fuel gas cutting come with several limitations. While these methods can handle thick MS plates, they often compromise on accuracy, edge quality, and overall finishing cost.
Limitations of Plasma and Gas Cutting for Mild Steel
Plasma and gas cutting generate a large heat-affected zone (HAZ), which can lead to material distortion and warping in mild steel sheets. The cut edges are usually rough and uneven, requiring additional processes such as grinding, deburring, or machining. This increases production time, labor effort, and operational cost.
Laser Cutting vs Plasma Cutting for Mild Steel
Laser cutting machines provide a far more controlled and precise cutting process for mild steel. With oxygen-assisted fiber laser cutting, MS sheets can be cut at high speed while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent quality. Compared to plasma cutting, laser cutting offers a narrower kerf width, better dimensional accuracy, and the ability to cut complex shapes with repeatable results, making it ideal for industrial and high-volume production.
Higher Productivity and Superior Accuracy
A mild steel laser cutting machine delivers high cutting speeds along with positioning accuracy of up to ±0.02 mm. Advanced nesting software helps reduce material wastage and improves sheet utilization, which directly lowers the cost per part. Automated operation also reduces operator dependency and increases daily production output.
Lower Finishing and Overall Manufacturing Cost
Laser cutting produces clean and uniform edges on mild steel sheets, significantly reducing the need for secondary finishing processes. Minimal rework, faster cycle times, and improved consistency help manufacturers lower overall production costs. As a result, laser cutting becomes a more cost-effective and efficient solution for long-term mild steel fabrication compared to conventional cutting methods.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to common queries about stainless steel laser cutting machines.
Can fiber laser cut stainless steel effectively?
Yes, fiber laser cutting machines are highly effective for stainless steel. They provide clean, burr-free edges with minimal heat-affected zones, making them ideal for SS 304, SS 316, and SS 202 grades.
What thickness of stainless steel can be cut with fiber laser?
Depending on laser power: 1kW-3kW can cut 0.5-6mm SS, 6kW can cut up to 12mm SS, and 12kW+ can cut 16-20mm stainless steel sheets with high precision.
Which gas is best for cutting stainless steel - Nitrogen or Oxygen?
Nitrogen is preferred for stainless steel cutting as it prevents oxidation and provides bright, clean edges. Oxygen can be used for thicker SS sheets but may cause slight discoloration.
What is the difference between cutting SS 304 and SS 316?
SS 316 contains molybdenum, making it slightly harder to cut than SS 304. It may require 10-15% more laser power or slower cutting speeds, but both can be cut effectively with proper parameters.
Is installation and training provided for stainless steel laser cutting machines?
Yes, Techno Laser Engineering provides complete onsite installation, operator training, and SS cutting parameter optimization across India.
What is the cutting speed for stainless steel sheets?
For 1mm SS: 8-12 m/min, 2mm SS: 4-6 m/min, 3mm SS: 2-3 m/min. Speed varies based on laser power, gas pressure, and desired edge quality.
Can the same machine cut both stainless steel and mild steel?
Yes, fiber laser cutting machines can cut both SS and MS. You only need to adjust cutting parameters (speed, gas type, pressure) based on the material.
What warranty is provided on stainless steel laser cutting machines?
Typically 1-2 years warranty on machine components and separate warranty on laser source (up to 100,000 hours). AMC and spare parts support available across India.
