CO2 Laser Cutting Machines — Heavy-Duty & Versatile Cutting Solutions

CO2 laser cutting remains a trusted workhorse for industrial workshops needing dependable performance across a range of materials — from thick mild steel and plate to non-metal substrates like acrylic. Lind SA Automation supplies, installs and supports industrial CO2 laser cutters across South Africa, delivering robust machines, consumables and professional service packages to keep production moving with minimal downtime.
 

Why choose a CO2 laser?

CO2 lasers deliver deep penetration and reliable cutting performance in a variety of thicknesses. They are particularly well-suited to:

  • Heavy-gauge steel and thick plate work
  • Cutting non-metal materials (acrylic, wood, fabrics) with excellent edge finish
  • Applications where beam shape and certain wavelength interactions give advantages over other laser types
 

Key advantages

  • Proven technology with predictable performance on thicker sections.
  • Good for mixed workshops handling both metal and non-metal fabrication.
  • Cost-effective for certain materials and specific production workflows.
  • Readily serviceable components and established maintenance routines.
 

Typical applications & industries

CO2 laser cutters are commonly used by: structural fabricators, signage manufacturers, HVAC component manufacturers, heavy equipment workshops, furniture & joinery shops (for acrylic/wood), and prototype-to-production metalworking facilities.
 

CO2 vs Fibre — which to choose?

  • Choose CO2 if your workflow includes thicker plate, frequent cutting of non-metals (acrylic, wood), or if your existing tooling and operator training are optimized for CO2 systems.
  • Choose Fibre if maximum electrical efficiency, higher cutting speeds on thin-to-medium metal sheets, and lower running costs for mild/stainless steel are priorities.
 

Common configurations & options

  • Laser power: generically 1kW → 12kW (model-dependent)
  • Table types: fixed, exchange, honeycomb, slat, rotary/tube options for profile cutting
  • Automation: material loaders/unloaders, nesting software & CNC integration
  • Assist gases: oxygen (for ferrous), nitrogen (for oxidation-free cuts), compressed air (for some non-metal tasks)
