Laser Cutting Machine for Stainless Steel Sheet
High-precision fiber laser technology for SS 304, SS 316, SS 202. Clean cuts, nitrogen/oxygen compatible, installation & service across India.
Why Stainless Steel Requires Specialized Laser Cutting
Common SS Cutting Challenges:
- Oxidation & Discoloration: Traditional cutting methods cause heat marks and oxidation on SS surfaces
- Burr Formation: Mechanical cutting creates rough edges requiring extensive finishing
- Material Wastage: Imprecise cutting leads to higher scrap rates and material costs
- Slow Production: Conventional methods are time-consuming for complex SS designs
Fiber Laser Solution:
- Clean, Bright Edges: Nitrogen assist gas prevents oxidation, delivering mirror-finish edges
- Burr-Free Cutting: Laser precision eliminates secondary finishing operations
- Minimal Wastage: ±0.02mm accuracy maximizes material utilization
- High-Speed Production: 8-12 m/min cutting speed for thin SS sheets

Pro Tip:
For SS 316, reduce cutting speed by 10-15% compared to SS 304. For mirror-finish edges, use high-purity nitrogen (99.99%) at 12-16 bar pressure. Learn more about fiber laser cutting machines.
Cutting Quality & Accuracy for Stainless Steel
±0.02mm Precision
Exceptional positioning accuracy ensures consistent, repeatable cuts for complex SS designs and tight tolerances.
Mirror-Finish Edges
Nitrogen assist gas prevents oxidation, delivering bright, clean edges without discoloration or secondary finishing.
Minimal Heat-Affected Zone
Fiber laser's focused beam minimizes thermal distortion, preserving SS material properties and dimensional accuracy.

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.
