Pushing the Limits of Laser Cutting: Super Duplex Perforation Mastery ⚡️
In metal fabrication, customers often come to us with complex challenges that others say "can't be done on a laser." Recently, we took on a part that tested the absolute limits of precision cutting and produced it with complete ease.
Our customer required a component machined from 1.5mm Super Duplex (S32750), packed with an incredible array of 2mm diameter holes on a tight 3mm triangular pitch.
The Engineering Challenge
The Material: Super Duplex stainless steel is notoriously tough and demanding to process.
The Geometry: With 2mm holes spaced on a 3mm pitch, the remaining web of material between each hole is just 1mm thick across the entire component.
The Scale: Measuring 274mm x 171mm, this single part features nearly 5,000 precision-cut holes.
How We Delivered:
Doubts were raised over whether laser cutting could achieve such fine webs without hole deformation.
Utilizing our advanced Bystronic ByStar 3015 10kW fiber laser alongside expert programming in Lantek Expert, our team executed the job flawlessly.
The result? Clean, accurate, components delivered right on spec.
Whether it’s heavy structural plate or intricate, high-density perforation work on exotic alloys like Super Duplex, our team thrives on turning complex challenges into routine excellence.
