What you need to know about metal tube& sheet laser cutting machine？

When you want to buy a metal tube & sheet laser cutting machine, you can't make a fuss to buy it. If you buy a laser cutter that is not suitable for you, your productivity will not increase or even decrease. If the product you need to cut is not the range that laser cutting machines are suitable for, then you must have spent both money and nothing, and it has caused a lot of trouble. So you need to understand it. Next, let's talk about how it works, what features it has, and where it can be used.

What is its working principle?

The laser cutting machine is mainly used for laser processing machines that cut sheets into workpieces of the desired shape. A device that uses the thermal energy of a laser beam to achieve cutting. Laser cutting is the energy released when the laser beam is irradiated onto the surface of the workpiece to melt and evaporate the workpiece for cutting and engraving.

What are its characteristics?

Compared with other thermal cutting methods, laser cutting has the characteristics of fast cutting speed and high quality. The details are summarized below.

1) Good cutting quality

Laser cutting has the advantages of small spot size, high energy density and fast cutting speed.

1. The laser cutting slit is narrow and the slit is parallel to the surface. The cutting piece has a dimensional accuracy of ±0.05mm.

2. The cutting surface is smooth and beautiful, and the surface roughness is only a few tens of microns. The final step is laser cutting. No machining is required and parts can be used directly.

3. After laser cutting, the width of the heat-affected zone is small, the material properties near the weld are almost unaffected, the deformation of the workpiece is small, the cutting precision is high, the weld geometry is good, and the shape of the weld is regular.

2) High cutting efficiency

Due to the transmission characteristics of the laser, the laser cutting machine is usually equipped with several CNC tables, and the entire cutting process can be completely CNC. In actual operation, only the NC program can be changed to cut parts of different shapes can be used for 2D and 3D cutting.

3) Fast cutting speed

Cutting speeds of 2 mm thick low carbon steel sheets and 5 mm thick polypropylene resin sheets reached 600 cm/min and 1200 cm/min, respectively. The material does not need to be clamped and fixed in laser cutting, which saves the fixture and saves the auxiliary time of loading and unloading.

4) Non-contact cutting

In laser cutting, there is no contact between the torch and the workpiece, and there is no tool wear. In order to machine different shapes of parts, there is no need to change the "tool", just change the output parameters of the laser. Laser cutting technology has the advantages of low noise, low vibration and no pollution.

Where can it be applied?

A metal sheet laser cutting machine can not only meet the cutting requirements of customers for flat plates, but also meet the cutting of tube round and foreign materials (square steel, flat iron, channel steel, square tube). Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, alloy steel, aluminum alloy, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, silver, gold, titanium, and other metal pipe cutting, square tube cutting, three-dimensional cutting.

Widely used in sheet metal processing, advertising sign production, high and low voltage electrical cabinet production, machinery parts, kitchen utensils, automobiles, machinery, metal crafts, saw blades, electrical accessories, ophthalmology, spring sheets, circuit boards, electric kettles, medical microelectronics, Hardware, tool measuring tools and other industries.
