With the LT5 Lasertube , production increased by 30% compared to their fastest sawing machine. In addition to being more productive, the LT5 laser cutting system was also more cost-effective. The greatest advantage was being able to cut stainless steel, a material known to greatly decrease blade cutting efficiency. What is more, the machine consumed less electricity than a traditional blade cutting system, which significantly reduced the running costs of the entire process and even more so on single jobs. By choosing the LT5 instead of a traditional sawing machine, Aperam has saved 5% on total costs. Operation with the laser is also very easy. Straight cuts can be managed directly from the machine with remarkable simplicity.
