  • love the video really good

  • great video thanks

  • He obviously knows what he's doing. He seems more than comfortable with his cuts, meaning he probably did a dry run first indicating perfection and no crashes. Just because he has his hands there means nothing. You don't don't your parts ect to see if there okay? You just press GO and walk away? That is gross operating. This guy is probably a vet cutter and he seems to know pretty much every tiny little thing next so maybe calm the fuck down because he is a very fluent looking operator.

  • This guy probably works with the machine all day every day. He know's where the laser is going and is making sure to keep his hands out of the direct path. Everyone bitching about his safety really need to get a grip.

  • @philstuffs doesn't matter, communication interrupt or a corrupted file means you have no more fingers

  • Watch your hand asshole!!

  • a 1 mm left on each corner of the cut piece will save this mans finger..hire me please...been doing this for a while...i need an employer.i am a fabricator with knowledge in drawing plans...fast learner for new tech...gilbertcolminas@yahoo.c­om

  • idiot laser is 1 cm close to metal what possibly can happen ?burn your 1mm hand?

  • This is a laser. i've been working on them for 25 years. He's taking the pieces out because if they tip rather than fall through, the capacitive height sensor will track the tipped piece causing a loss of focus. His hands are reasonably safe unless he puts his hand directly under the beam or if he gets a reflection from the bottom of the bed. They should try cutting it out of 0.05mm mild steel using oxygen as the assist gas, that would be more impressive. I can.

  • @RandomConcepts

    He's removing the pieces on-the-fly cause if the piece goes into the scrap container it will attract SS dust on its finish..

  • Its only a matter of time until we start having jedi academies.

  • DIS GUY IS OVERCONFIDENT...HE WILL PAY IF HE CONTINUE LIKE THIS

  • Why does the head lift so high between cuts? Is this to give time/space to remove parts between successive parts? Seems that there is a lot of wasted time waiting for the head to move up 5 inches then down 5 inches for the next cut.

  • @davi200

    The only reason that the head is lifting so high is because they haven't programed the nest with collision avoidance or partial retract. Collision avoidance will work out how high a part could have kicked up and will just adjust the clearance plain to slightly higher than the part which it is moving over.

  • it's definetely plasma guys

  • Its not a Plasma cutter its a Laser Cutter. I'm pretty sure its an old Australian Laserlab Profile Plus with a precitech cutting head and probably a Rofin Slab laser resonator maybe 1 or 2 Kw. Have a look at my channel if you want to see what a plasma cutter looks like or a newer version of this machine. It is also 100% not a water jet cutting machine.

  • @robyward

    If its not a plasma cutter, why does it have to strike every start?

  • @Hardwyre

    It's a Laser!! It's just the IHS at the start of the cut (initial height sense). Have a look at my channel. I work with Plasma machines everyday. We have designed one of the most complete plate processing machines in the world. I have also made a video on this laser machine. Look at the profile plus video on my Channel. Thats me in the Vid. TRUST ME.

  • It is a plasma cutter you noobs....

  • @filisinisa It's laser. noob.

  • Dremel

  • Is this machine an old Laserlab Profile Plus?

  • I hope you cut your fingers off.

  • actually thats high pressure water

  • how much does such a machine cost?

  • 7 years of running Lasers, LVD and Trumpf flat beds and tube cutter and all I can say is MAD!!!

  • No lasercutting but lasermarking technology you can find on our channel.

    There you can find a very interesting live demonstration of our latest technology.

  • WONDER HOW MUCH LASER RADIATION HIS NUTS ARE ASORBING IN A DAYS TIME ? AND THATS SLOW AS HELL MY TRUMPF 3030 4000 WATT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE  ALOT FASTER , TAB THOSE LETTERS IN BWAAAAA

  • @poohbearhanson1 i don't know what's worse... that you think lasers give off ionizing radiation, or that they let you out of your cage.

  • slow

  • @spiegeltuch It's STEEL MAN ! It's fast :)

  • Plasma cutter

  • the water is coming from the table underneith, it is filled with water to absorb the sparks and molten metal.

  • HA!. If this laser can cut through Stainless steel, Why do you think your cloth will help you? Besides, the sparks burn soo fast they dont hurt you. Every put your hand near a sparkler... Nothing. Touch it? = Big surprise!

  • i hope your finger will be cut in half anytime soon.. dumb ass

  • The sparks and sound you see are molten metal being blown away by the gas jet at the nozzle end of the cutting head. This inert gas is injected to clear molten material constantly while the laser is cutting the material.

  • I think it isn't a laser but a water cutter with salt mixed in. The sand would explain the psarks and the water the sound. It is more likely water would be used for this application. Any way if it was a laser you would see flashes as high power lasers pulse so as to not overheat. This is clearly not a laser cutter

  • ha ha looks like a plasma cutter to me.....just a guess

  • NOTE: Don't work as this guy is, an accident just waiting to happen. Would keep well away from these Cowboys

  • @hardyboyzrko how? the laser is right on the surface and you cant put your hand underneath

  • @hardyboyzrko Would I balls put my hand near that cutting head.

    Do as hardyboy says stay well away, although you might get a free finger with evry order :)

  • @hardyboyzrko Looks like the laser is programmed to park and pause for the letter to be removed. Otherwise the cut out piece might tilt up and catch the laser head and cause a lot of damage.

  • @junekentucky Yeah I see your point, Laser head = big money

  • iz so cool !

  • yep thats a laser cause you can see the glow underneath the workpiece

  • I love how they make you sit through the worst boring 6 minutes of your life then dont even show the finished product T_T Faggs

  • high pressure waterjet cutting machine not laser or plasma

  • yep... you can hear it, and see the water on the surface of the metal.

    lasers dont make that kind of hissing noise xD

  • @ExpertOfSound CO2 lasers do, because its CO2...

  • It is a laser. A small amount of ethanol is injected into the laser torch to cool the torch and the metal underneath.

  • it is a lazer the water is used to cool down the metal

  • All of you are mentally retarted! Its a fucking plasma cutter!

  • Comment removed

  • It may be a laser, but the way it looks and sounds, especially how it throws a spark as it gets near the metal, it looks like a plasma cutter - focused high power electrical arc instantly melts through the steel, and high pressure shop air blasts it out the bottom. I've used a handheld one.

    May be a laser, but I'd think it'd activate after reaching working distance, where a high-voltage cutter might spark if it arced to the metal as it was lowering.

  • how much would this laser cost?

  • water causing sparks?

  • Waterjets do cause sparks. The water is actually the carrier for the cutting media which is usually a high quality garnet. And cutting metal with it does cause sparks.

  • LOL...who gives me a thumbs down!!! I design CNC waterjet machines!!!!

  • i would,,,but u know what.. at this time u're right.... so thumb up..

  • thumb?

    THUMBS IS BETTER

  • @supercognito whers the water coming from? im a kid so i dont get these things becuase i dont work with these also.\

    CHECK ME OUT. i have a flash light that can cook eggs.

  • @supercognito If its it lasser cutting, as it seems when reading the title, its maybe water vaporising of a wet surface?

  • @richardf1b The liquid on the sheet is anti-spatter.It stops any hot molten bits sticking to the rest of the sheet.

  • @peugeot106206406 Tnx for the explanation. it makes sense :P

  • @supercognito Same thing happens in my pants when my "pal" is in action.

  • @supercognito its laser dude. lol.

  • @supercognito its lube...it came down before it even touched the metal

  • @supercognito "Stage 2: Laser Cutting Stainless Steel YouTube 3D Logo"

  • @supercognito it's not using water , it is using a high power laser to cut the metal

  • yea dihsh cause we all know that water creates sparks!.... my bro in law works for a company who cuts everything from aluminum to thick ass steel including diamond plating....

  • Excuse my ignorance on the matter. But would someone answer a simple question for me?.

    Is that an ACTUAL laser? A Highly concentrated light beam cutting through steel? Ok these were two questions.

    (Excuse my english)

  • Yes.

  • It's a CO2 laser.

  • yes and yes - YAG-lasers are not that uncommon these days.

  • What machine is it? What brand?

  • but security work? Where?

  • this guy probably working with his feet right now..

  • What are you talking about?

    Have you never seen a laser cutter before?

    Well, this is what it looks like when you cut with a laser.

    When you cut stainless you use nitrogen instead of oxygen. This gives a nice glossy non oxidizied cutting surface.

  • High definition plasma with shield gas and water injection. I wouldn't go with my fingers that close to torch.

  • I'm not a rocket scientist, but it seems to me more like a plasma cutter that lasser. Compressed air and an electric arc, And, yes, you can handle it right after process.

  • A laser cutter is pretty much the same thing as a Plasma cutter, but instead of arcing electricity from the torch to the part, and then blowing the molten pool out with compressed air, the laser beam heats the metal.

  • what price has this machine? in dollars?

  • this is an electric cutter, with high pressure air, jet, blowing the fire in proper direction.

  • lol that's a waterjet notice the strange flowing on the second cut when it started

    besides you cant handle something thats been cut by a laser right after its finished

    why would you lie?

  • what are the sparks from then ? & the base plate underneath would be a water tray to absorb all the force

  • ok blank notice the corroded (ok i know thats not how you spell it)

    metal supports metal doesnt corrode from lasers it comes from oxidation which is caused by the water

    also those sparks are because of the tremendous friction caused by the water jet

    because water is incompressible (you cannot compress it) the metal is literaly being ripped off look at videos of water cutters there are sparks on them too

  • my dad has operated LASER metal cutters they never would ever ever ever have water under them because it would reflect the light and could damage the laser diode, not to mention the strange pattern that would develope

  • Notice thoes strange sparks coming off the part? FlowJet dosen't do that.

  • how much watts does it use?

  • 5kW...I´m working on Bystronic laser cutter.

  • I saw the laser cutting the 10mm metal plate just like a knife cuting butter :) it was really awesome :)

  • If it was water there would be a whole lot more water on the surface, i've seen water jets in action plama would create far more arc...

  • if you look closely there is a little water flowing on the surface

    and the metal cutters your talking about were cutting way thicker stuff than this this is probably a 20+ gauge

    while those industrial waterjets do 16-18 gauge

  • check out gammons metal awsome hankwang lasers very cool

  • water

  • it would have been nice to see it all together... that's what I was waiting for!!

  • what 9000!?!

  • so cool!!!

  • meh, it's laser. I used to work for a comapny that had three plasma, 2 laser and 4 water jet tables. the heavy plasma just hogged through the plate, the lasers did high speed patterns on the light sheet and the waterjets did everything in between. we had one 6 axis waterjet that could actually sculpt a 6 inch block of 316 into anything that could be clamped or screwed into place

  • the laser power is "over 9000!!!"

  • For those who think its a Plasma cutter, if it was the metal would be so hot you couldn't touch it after being cut. For those who think its a water cutter , how does that explain sparks?????

    Id love to have this laser cutter in our shop- its a thing of beauty

  • It's laser, you see the sparks. Water is for cooling down metal.

  • the thing you are talking about is called a water jet, completly different process to this, they leave a better finish but are very loud.

  • you are right, i dont know which one is more loud but water cuting is very loud too, i saw one working in a technologic show.

    bye..

  • how many watts it is?

  • What is the power of laser beam ? in Mw. How much power i need to cut 2mm of balsa wood ?

  • i have used a laser to and this is laser cutting google chase park profiles 2000 that where i used to work

  • this is a real laser cuter machine, i`m working in a laser company, and i know about laser, this is not a plasma cuter, nohandma saw a "arc", this "arc" is called pearcing.

    piercing is a firsth pierce in sheet, to be cuted. plasma is totaly diferent

  • not laser cutter!

  • this is plasma cutter!!

  • You fucking window licker! Plasma cutter my arse! its a fucking laser cutter. FFS.

  • Is that like licking pig dicks?

  • lol u made me laugh lol lol

  • my company also use bystonic3050

    it cut damm fast...

  • i used to runa bystonic. its a pain wen the tags aint big enough and they fall through to the bloody trays lol

  • that is not a lazer it is a plasma cutter.

  • isn't this a CNC plasma cutter? because i saw the arc at the begining of one of the cuts.

  • Is this laser real or james bond style?

  • gloves?

  • this is not laser

  • Umm, as i stated before, i am in charge and run these at work and i can tell you it is a laser

  • To all those interested.

    I am in charge of and run these at work and it is definately a laser cutter. The liquid you see on the sheet is an anti spatter lubricant such as CRC or similar. As some said, it's to stop flying sparks and pieces of metal sticking to and damaging the stainless. The laser can cut while it's up in the air if the shutter is open and the beam is on for the person who stated that it can only cut while the head contacts the sheet. The machines i run can cut up to 20mm thick

  • CRC as a lubricant? You got to be fucking kidding me, it's highly flammable.

  • CentrelinkQueen... I think your intelligence is showing.

  • no, i'm not kidding, we do use crc!!!!!!

  • maybe its watts i cant remember

  • its 95 000 mw

    at least last time i saw it

  • my handhwld is waaay better.ok definitly not. Thats NASTY!!!!!

  • how much MW????????????

  • show us the end product

  • there are some lasers that cut by directing a stream of water out the nozzle to act as a guide for the light - keeping it parallel in the cut. this could be one of said lasers. alternatively, the sheet is just wet because it is or in an attempt to stop warping

  • What you are talking about is waterjet cutting. This isn't the same, as you can see sparks being generated which you don't get from a waterjet cutter. Waterjet cutters use a mega high presure water supply (up to 90,000psi) with an added sbrasive, directed through a fine nozzle and does look very similar to the laser cutter you see here. The benefits of waterjet cutters are that they generate no heat in the material, so it doesn't work harden beyond the material's desired specification.

  • No, I'm not. Abrasive jet does generate sparks if you're cutting titanium as the grit impacts with enough energy to oxidise it in the air. I'm talking about a special kind of laser cutting that uses a water column like a fibre optic to keep the beam in an equally parallel column, rather than one that converges and then diverges at a focal point. I've only seen one manufacturer who offers it, and you can make a beam parallel with optics anyway.

  • is it a water hammer?

  • the waters there to stop the material from warping, if it even is water, it might be a shield gas....

  • It's not there to stop it warping, it all gets blown away as soon as the laser starts the cut.

    A shield gas does not sit on the surface of anything as a liquid, because it's gas.

  • a gas thats heavier than air and inside a container would, im not sure but i think an argoshield (argon and carbon dioxide) is heavier than air and sinks....

  • dude theres water on the steal so water must be some where>,>

  • This is a laser cutter not plasma...

  • you sure thats not a plasma cutter? there is an arc...

  • Lasers have a small arc aswell.

  • that would hurt if it went over your hands...

  • Over? Straight through :p

  • laser, you can see the sparks flyin

  • woow now thats what u call a cutter nice

  • that is so cool!

  • Ooooh, i gotta get me one of those

  • This is a cutting laser. The liquid on the sheet is put there too cool the metal.

    There are waterjets that do the same job.

  • no, it is a laser cutter, the liquid on the surface is actually a softening agent of sorts to prevent sparks from sticking to and damaging the surface if the sheet

  • or is it water to just stop it frm getting very hot?

  • The material does not get very hot when being lasered. The edges heat up but cool down very quickly.

  • i think thats a water saw.

  • m2..

  • why is that dude trying to get his hands all up in there, doesn't he know it's a hot ass laser cutting some steel

  • Are you sure its a laser? It looks like a water saw.

  • there was water on the steel

  • The full video is at v=G28PJ5ceak4

  • All metal will heat up whilst being cut with ANY kind of cutter so lets keep this in mind guys

  • was that steel hot?

    also what color of laser was it? (or do you even know?)

  • this is a laser cutter the sparks is hot mettal that the laserbeam removes first by heating it up and shoting tru the metal the starting a gas purge that start a drag of melten metal with becomes the cut in this case the gas is high preasure becouse of the stainless steel

  • It's lame that they don't show us the finished sign at the end.

  • haha! thats what i was thinkin.

  • This is probably a plasma arc cutter not a laser. You can see the machine strike the arc at the start of each pass.

  • this is a laser cutter, not a waterjet ie a water cutting machine.

  • And we see a diference of temperatue between steel and environment (laser)

  • It's oil spray like a CutFluid. Not a water.

  • It's laser cutting machines.

  • Water is used to coool the steel rapidly.

  • water is used to sparkal the laser, its not the everyday laser you use.

  • Its a watercuttermachine( I don't know what it's called). There is no laser at all.

  • then how are there sparks wise guy

  • Just look at a real lasercuttermachine..it cuts so much faster. Btw, the water in a watercutter machine shoots out in an incredible speed. So I think there may come som sparks.

    But of course i may be wrong.

  • Not laser definitely 1. you can see water or something spreading over the desk, 2. laser doesnt make the pieces of the metal flying away (srry, my english is not very good :-) )

  • After working in the industry, I'm pretty sure it's a laser. Cool clip :)

  • a waste of time

  • If it were water or sand or both, then how do you explain the sparks each time the machine comes in contact with the metal sheet? It reminds me of a welding thing, couldn't it be that?
