  • All Parts will be produced from RPS® Sheet & Plate.
  • All dimensions will be produced to RPS® Standard Laser Tolerances, unless otherwise agreed.
  • Measurment capabilites are ±0.002 inches of actual product dimensions when required.
  • Positioning: The ability of the machine to move accurately to a specified location along a specified path.
  • Repeatability: The ability of the machine to move consistently to a specified location.
  • Kerf: The possible change in the laser beam radius during cutting along the part edge.
