Abstract
It is shown that laser cutting is a good choice for manufacture of disk saw bodies made from steel 65G sheets 2 to 6 mm thick. This cutting method provides high quality and small width of a cut, minimum HAZ and low manufacturing costs. Good prospects for development of a hybrid laser-plasma cutting technology are noted. The technology is characterised by stabilisation of the arc plasma by the laser beam and its additional contraction, thus making plasma penetrate into the keyhole formed in cutting.
Keywords: laser cutting, disk saws, tool steels, parameters, cutting facility, laser upgrading, three-axis manipulator, cutter, computer control
