How to choose a laser cutting machine?

Laser cutting machine is currently gradually replacing traditional processing equipment. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to cutting pattern restrictions, automatic typesetting to save materials, smooth incision, low processing cost, etc., and traditional flame, punch and other processing technology The comparative advantage is huge.

When the laser cutting machine is working, the mechanical part of the laser cutter head has no contact with the workpiece, and will not scratch the surface of the workpiece during work; the laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and generally does not require subsequent processing; the cutting heat-affected zone is small, and the plate The deformation is small, the slit is narrow, and the positioning accuracy and repeated positioning accuracy can reach 0.03mm.

At present, the application directions of laser cutting equipment on the market are divided into two types: metal and non-metal:

Metal laser cutting machine is used for decoration, advertising, lamps, kitchen utensils, thin sheet metal parts, electrical cabinets, elevator panels, engineering boards, high and low switch cabinet processing materials and steel structures, car manufacturing and other large equipment manufacturing, usually the thickness of the plate Generally ranging from 1-30mm, the laser cutting machine with a power of 1000W-20000W can be used for cutting.

Non-metal laser cutting machine is to cut plastic (polymer), rubber, wood, paper products, leather and natural or synthetic organic materials. Since these items are not metal products, the absorption of laser light is different, so these materials are the most It is best to use a CO2 laser cutting machine for cutting.

Therefore, when choosing a laser cutting machine, the first thing to do is to distinguish the type and type of metal and non-metal, and then choose according to the type and thickness of the specific cutting material!
