Cnc Cutting Copper Sheet

Sheet metal cutting and bending our cnc cutting and bending machine is a highly automated process.

Cnc cutting copper sheet.

Proceed slowly and steadily in cutting taking care to try to complete individual lines of cut in one straight continuous action. The majority of bronze and brass alloys are comprised of over 80 copper. Begin cut with metal cutting sheer. Cnc routers like the stepcraft have spindles that run much faster often from 10 000 30 000 rpm.

This especially holds true on a purpose built cnc mill such as a haas or tormach. Cutting slower will also give you plenty of opportunity to blow away the bits and pieces of copper and dust caused by the cutting process. There s a world of difference for a cnc router cutting thin aluminum sheet vs a cnc router cutting thicker aluminum plate. They tend to have a much slower working rpm often times less than 4 000 rpm.

With regards to cutting very thick metal sheets cnc last cutting machines can be very useful for these more demanding projects as well. It is also an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. Because copper tends to absorb more heat than it does the electrical charge you will be much better off placing a piece of steel or other metal on top of the copper. It allows high dimensional accuracy and design flexibility.

Copper is ductile easily machined and highly resistant to corrosion. Use a more conductive material. Elevate and support one edge of sheet with free hand allowing entry point for cut enough clearance for metal cutting sheer to proceed. The process provides excellent repeatability relying on our resourceful infrastructural amenities.

These machines are very heavy duty and are designed to cut metals including steel. Copper is a naturally occurring non magnetic metal known for its unique brownish red color.
