Today’s manufacturing demands components that are not just precise, but geometrically complex. Traditional 3-axis cutting is limited to flat materials, creating a bottleneck for parts that have been formed, drawn, or hydroformed.
At Bassett Industries, our investment in 5 Axis Laser Cutting technology shatters these limitations. By adding two rotational axes (A and B) to the standard X, Y, and Z axes, we can cut in three dimensions, making our service synonymous with high precision, design freedom, and cost-effective production for 3D laser cutting projects.
The 5-Axis Laser Cutting Advantage: Precision in 3D
The ability to move and angle the laser head along five axes simultaneously is a game-changer for component integrity and manufacturing efficiency.
- Precision on Formed Parts: Our 5 Axis Laser Cutting systems allow us to precisely trim, pierce, and cut complex features onto pre-formed parts, such as stamped sheet metal, drawn components, or even large tubes (up to 30″ in diameter). This eliminates the need for expensive, dedicated, and time-consuming hard tooling.
- Unmatched Design Freedom: The 3D laser cutting capability allows engineers to design with maximum efficiency, including compound angles, chamfers, and precise contours that would be impossible or cost-prohibitive with manual or conventional methods.
- Fewer Setups, Faster Turnaround: Being able to perform multiple, complex cuts in a single setup drastically reduces handling, repositioning, and potential error. This translates to quicker machining speeds, significantly improved lead times, and guaranteed repeatability across small batch prototypes and large production runs.
Capabilities Built for Industry Demand
Our 5 Axis Laser Cutting technology is engineered to handle the needs of the most demanding sectors, delivering superior performance on critical components:
- Max Table Size: 122″ x 86.6″ – Accommodates large-scale formed sheet metal parts.
- Max Tube Diameter: Up to 30 inches – Ideal for large-diameter pipe and tube assemblies.
- Z-Depth:4″ – Deep vertical capacity for drawn or highly formed components.
- Material Range: Steel (A36, A500), Aluminum (3003, 6061), Stainless Steel (304, 316), Versatile processing of common industrial metals.
