How to choose the right 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, and low processing cost. Compared with traditional flame, punch and other processing technologies The 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 a laser cutting equipment specially used for cutting and processing metal materials, usually using fiber laser cutting machine, mainly for carbon steel, silicon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, galvanized sheet, galvanized sheet, copper, etc. Fast cutting of various metal materials. Widely used in sheet metal processing, aerospace, electronic appliances, subway accessories, automobiles, machinery, precision accessories, ships, metallurgical equipment, elevators, household appliances, craft gifts, tool processing, decorative advertising and other manufacturing and processing industries.

Non-metal laser cutting machine is to cut plastic (polymer), rubber, acrylic, wood, paper products, leather and natural or synthetic organic materials. Since such items are not metal products and absorb laser light differently, it is best to use a CO2 laser cutting machine to cut such materials.

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