Astro Engineering and Manufacturing increases laser cutting capacity with purchase of a Mazak STX-510 2500 Watt Laser Cutter. This machine is complete with a load/unload system and with the programming software Radan, it can operate unattended for high efficiency and cost savings. This laser cuts up to ¾” Mild Steel, 3/8” Stainless Steel, and ¼” Aluminum, and has a bed size of 5’ by 10’.

Laser cutting can be used to cut a wide variety of materials: metal, wood, plastics, silicon wafers, paper, glass and more. Being Astro is a metal fabricator; we of course choose a laser cutter that is built for cutting metal. We chose this Mazak laser in order to provide the best quality cutting coupled with the lowest expense for mid-weight sheet stock of stainless or carbon steel. We are expecting lower maintenance costs and good accessibility to Mazak technicians. The load/unload system is simple, reliable, and effective. It is for these reasons that we are able to deliver good parts for a good price.
