Aluminium

Aluminium is a light metal and element with the chemical symbol Al.
Today it is one of the world’s most important materials.

We cut aluminium plates with the laser or the water jet as standard.
The material thickness is crucial for the cutting process.
We cut aluminium plates with a thickness of 0.5mm up to and including 6mm with the laser.
Aluminium plaes with a thickness from 8mm up to and including 200mm are cut with the water jet.

Here you can see the common aluminium materials.
Should you desired material differ, just send us an inquiry with the desired material.
