Laser cutting
Laser cutting has become an indispensable part of modern sheet metal processing. Metals such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are cut precisely to size using a concentrated beam of light. The result: precise shapes, clean edges, and minimal material loss. This technology enables the production of everything from simple components to complex structures—quickly, flexibly, and cost-effectively. Laser cutting is used in many areas, such as mechanical engineering and the automotive industry.
Since our founding in 1966, we have continuously developed and gained valuable experience in processing a wide variety of materials. Bechtold has completed a wide range of projects—from simple laser parts to ready-to-install assemblies. We process both common materials such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, as well as special materials such as titanium and high-alloy steels.
By using innovative laser cutting technology, we guarantee maximum precision and flexibility when processing a wide variety of materials. With modern machines and advanced control systems, we optimize production efficiency and deliver tailor-made solutions for our customers' individual requirements.
Laser cutting involves directing a focused beam of light onto the material. The enormous energy of this beam melts or vaporizes the material. Temperatures of up to 28,000°C are reached during this process. In addition, oxygen or nitrogen is blown through the approx. 0.15 mm wide cutting gap at a pressure of up to 20 bar, resulting in a precise cut. The process produces clean cut edges without mechanical stress on the material. Computer-controlled (CNC) systems ensure a high degree of flexibility and enable even complex geometries to be machined.
Laser cutting is suitable for both thin sheets and thicker materials up to 30 mm. Its precision allows the production of delicate components that would be virtually impossible to manufacture using conventional methods.
Depending on the project requirements, different materials can be used.
Stainless steel and steel are characterized by their robustness, with stainless steel also offering high corrosion resistance and often being used in outdoor applications. These materials are particularly suitable for demanding industrial applications, such as in the railway industry or shipbuilding.
Aluminum is lightweight, versatile, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for industries such as automotive and aerospace. Aluminum sheet is often used for machine components and housings because it can be machined with precision and offers high resistance.

Stainless steel and steel are robust materials for industrial applications, with stainless steel being more corrosion-resistant. Aluminum is lightweight and versatile, making it ideal for use in the aviation and automotive industries
Non-ferrous metals are often used in electronics.
Laser cutting enables the manufacture of components according to individual customer specifications. Changes can be made at any time by adjusting the programming.
DIN 2303: Quality requirements for welding companies in defense technology production.
DIN ISO 9001:2015: Ensures consistent quality assurance in all processes.
We have established ourselves as a reliable partner in our industry by consistently implementing these standards.
Laser cutting is typically used for materials between 0.2 mm and 30 mm thick.
Laser cutting is considerably faster than other cutting methods, such as water jet cutting, especially for thin sheets.
