At Stevens Rowsell we have two Trumpf Laser Profiling centres. We operate a fully automated 4kw flat bed Trulaser which incorporates 2x 8m tall material storage towers and a lift master facility plus we have a 3kw flat bed L3030s with a rotary axis tube cutting facility.



These CO2 gas lasers operate according to the "flying optics" principle, whereby the laser beam is moved over the working area whilst the work piece remains static. This allows high processing speeds and very high quality cutting to be achieved independent of material weight.

Making light work of a precise cut through steel

How is our laser beam produced?
A turbine prepares the laser gas (a mixture of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and helium) at a specific ratio and delivers the mixture to a discharge tube at high speed and under pressure. Inside the discharge tube there are electrodes which stimulate the mixture between 2 mirrors (called a resonator) to produce a laser beam. The output mirror allows a certain percentage of the beam to leave the resonator. The beam is then focussed onto a convex lens in the flying optic. The resultant laser beam has an output range of up to 3kw and the ability to cut through a wide variety of materials including;
