Advantages and characteristics of high power laser cutting machine

High power laser cutting machine uses a fiber laser to the output laser beam and focuses on the surface of the workpiece so that the area on the workpiece irradiated by ultra-fine focus spot instantly melts and gasifies. The automatic cutting is realized by moving the spot irradiation position of the CNC mechanical system. It is a set of fiber laser technology, CNC technology, precision machinery technology in one of the high-tech equipment.

At present, a high-power laser cutting machine is suitable for non-contact cutting, hollowing, and drilling of various metal plates and metal pipes. It is especially suitable for cutting stainless steel plate, carbon steel plate, galvanized sheet, aluminum sheet, copper plate, gold plate, silver plate, and other metal materials with thickness less than 40mm.

Features of high power laser cutting machine:

1. The high-power cutting head is the core component to ensure the cutting stability under the condition of high-power continuous operation, with the following characteristics:
① The high-power cutting head has a better sealing and cooling system, a wider range of focus, and high-temperature resistant lenses.
② Under the influence of the high-power thermal lens effect, the beam will drift when the cutting head works for a long time. In order to overcome the problem of focus drift, the high-power cutting head adopts a new gas path design structure and a new nozzle structure, so as to improve the cutting speed and cutting stability.
2. The efficiency of cutting thin plate is doubled, and the thickness of cutting thick plate is continuously improved.
3. Lightning piercing: short piercing time, small thermal focusing energy, stable starting point, and stable servo system, which can ensure the best cutting effect.

Advantages of high power laser cutting machine

1. High speed
The laser cutting machine speed has exceeded 20m/min, the moving speed of the two axes of the cutting machine can reach 250m/min, and the acceleration has reached about 10g during the operation.
2. High precision
The holes of about 10mm in 1mm thick plate can be cut by 500 holes per minute. The error between these holes is very small during the cutting process.
3. Develop towards the thick plate
The power of a high-power laser cutting machine is increasing gradually, and the size of the thick plate is also increasing.
4. To develop in the direction of large size
The processing size range of laser cutting technology is also increasing, and laser cutting technology has begun to develop towards the large-scale direction.
5. Intelligent
Follow the pace of Intelligent Manufacturing in accordance with the technical requirements of industry 4.0. The high combination of laser and computer control, numerical control technology, optical system, high precision, and automatic positioning device is realized by using accurate graphic recognition technology, simple operation procedure, and convenient human-computer intelligent interaction.

When choosing high-power laser cutting equipment, enterprises need to consider carefully: in addition to cutting speed and accuracy, we must check the stability and consistency of full-power continuous cutting, speed matching ability of machine tools, advanced quality of machine tools, and precision life. We can't simply compare the price factors like purchasing low-power laser cutting equipment. High power means high investment, high investment implies high risk. When enterprises enter this high return market, they must realize the risk.
