LASER CAPABILITIES
INOTECH LASER is your single source for virtually any laser materials processing application. From R & D to production, our engineering and technical staff can handle your requirements. The INOTECH LASER engineering and service team provides custom LASER CUTTING, WELDING, DRILLING, MARKING and ABLATING services and can act as your precision component contract manufacturer. Our custom laser workstations house cutting edge laser technology and decades of engineering experience to meet precision and intricate designs. For laser welding, cutting, drilling, ablation and marking: Our vast applications experience and years of processing expertise has earned us the reputation as a complete outsourcing solution.
Laser machining is the core competency of our business. Thin wall tight tolerances is our NICHE business model. Tube or Flat application - ON-AXIS or OFF-AXIS. We can execute. Prototypes in 3-5 business days flat. We strive to meet your desired price point and timelines on each and every project we undertake.
Consider us as your extended
LASER SOLUTIONS APPS LAB
.We have developed specific programming, processing techniques and laser parametres/recipes that enable us to efficiently laser cut designs that our competition cannot execute. Whether your design is an intricate, tight tolerance, fragile part, or a tube with a few features with wide tolerances, we can make cost-effective parts to your specifications, in prototype and production quantities. In addition to laser cutting of tubular materials (both on-axis and off-axis), we also offer laser cutting of small parts from flat materials of 0.0005" thickness up to roughly .060” thickness.
INOTECH LASER is accustomed to providing tight tolerance laser cutting and processing of thin-wall tubular metal components, sub-assemblies and implants drilling, welding, marking and ablating solutions for a wide range of industries, fulfilling both prototype and production needs of our clients.

Material Sizes For Laser Cutting:
- Material (Wall) Thickness = .002” - .050”
- Tubing Diameter = .008” - .700” O.D.
- Tubing Length: We can accommodate most tubing lengths from 1 inch to 10 feet.
- Flat Cutting: small parts only, up to roughly 1” maximum dimension.
Cut Width (Laser Kerf Width):
- Thin Wall Materials (.002” - .005”) Kerf = .0005” - .001”
- Regular Wall (.006” - .009”) Kerf = .001” - .002”
- Thick Wall (.010” & larger) Kerf = .0015” - .004”
Calculating Part Yield from Raw Material:
- Part Yield Per Tube Length = (Supplied Tubing Length - 6”) / (Part Length + .015”) (for tubes longer than 6”)
- Tubes smaller than 6” would be manually loaded on a fixture
