Laser cutting processing replaces traditional mechanical knives with invisible beams of light. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to cutting pattern limitations, automatic layout saving materials, smooth cutting, and low processing costs. It will gradually improve or replace traditional metal cutting equipment.

1、 The mechanical part of the laser blade does not come into contact with the workpiece, so it will not cause scratches on the surface of the workpiece during operation; 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, the deformation of the board is small, and the cutting seam is narrow (0.1mm~0.3mm).

The incision has no mechanical stress and no shear burrs; High machining accuracy, good repeatability, and no damage to the material surface; CNC programming can process any flat drawing, and can cut large whole boards without the need for molds, which is economical and time-saving.

2、 At present, the application directions of laser cutting equipment in the market mainly include the following three categories:

The first type is processing materials used for decoration, advertising, lighting fixtures, kitchenware, thin sheet metal parts, electrical cabinets, elevator panels, engineering boards, and high and low switchgear. These materials are generally relatively thin, with a thickness of 1-5mm of stainless steel plate material, which can be cut using a medium power laser cutting machine. For cutting these materials, it is recommended to consider buying a YAG laser cutting machine or a 500W fiber laser cutting machine.

The second type is cutting plastics (polymers), rubber, wood, paper products, leather, and natural or synthetic organic materials. Since these materials are not metal products and have different laser absorption, CO2 laser cutting machines are used for cutting these materials.

The third type is low-carbon steel with a thickness of 8-20mm and stainless steel with a thickness of 12mm. These materials require high-power laser cutting machines to cut quickly and instantly. It is possible to consider purchasing high-power fiber laser cutting machines or high-power CO2 laser cutting machines.

So, when choosing laser equipment, we not only need to consider the characteristics of our own product materials, but also the performance of laser equipment, so that we can find laser equipment suitable for our industry products.
