To cut aluminum, it is best to choose a technology with waterjet or laser cutting. Waterjet cutting is an excellent choice as there is no thermal influence on the material that could lead to metallurgical changes at the cutting edge. It enables precise cuts, regardless of the thickness of the aluminum. In addition, waterjet cutting is environmentally friendly and cost-efficient.

The laser is another effective method of cutting aluminum. Laser cutting produces very precise contours at high cutting speeds. It enables a high surface quality on the cut edges. However, care must be taken to configure the machine correctly to minimize oxide formation and achieve the best possible cut quality.

Eckert Cutting offers both waterjet cutting systems and laser cutting machines, including comprehensive training programs on how to get the most out of these technologies.
