Weld Prep Cutting

Weld prep cutting uses laser precision to produce beveled or chamfered cut edges on structural members and plate stock, creating prepared surfaces ready for welding without the manual grinding that has traditionally consumed significant time and cost. A 45-degree bevel or V-groove cut on thick plate can be produced in a single laser pass, compared to hours of grinding work that would otherwise be necessary, while simultaneous achieving superior edge consistency and repeatability across every part in your assembly.

The precision of laser-prepared weld edges minimizes fitup issues and enables higher welding speeds because joint preparation is uniform and requires no manual adjustment. For large structural projects where many plates must be prepped identically, weld prep cutting transforms economics by reducing labor-intensive operations and ensuring consistent joint quality from the first pass.

Our team can program beveled cuts into your part program simultaneously with other cut geometry, eliminating secondary operations and delivering parts ready for welding assembly.
