Things to know before buying optical fiber laser cutting machine. Whether you buy fiber laser cutting machines from local suppliers or overseas suppliers, it is not easy.
Because it is related to the return of your investment and the return of your enterprise.
Before purchasing an optical fiber laser cutting machine, you should consider some matters to get the maximum benefit from your investment.
Why choose optical fiber laser cutting machine?
Optical fiber laser cutting machines are now increasingly used in the metal processing industry.
It has a powerful optical fiber laser beam, which can work on sheet metal, and has accurate and efficient cutting performance.
The laser head will not directly contact the material surface, thus completely protecting the cutting effect.
The auxiliary cutting gas can be selected from oxygen and nitrogen, depending on the type of metal you plan to use.
The residues generated in the cutting process will blow out the auxiliary cutting gas and collect it in the waste collection box under the lathe.
Therefore, the whole cutting process is clean and environmentally friendly.
In terms of metal cutting, YAG laser, plasma laser, CO2 laser and fiber laser can cut metal, but the cutting thickness, speed, accuracy and efficiency are different.
The main difference is that the metal cut by YAG has high power consumption, low efficiency and high maintenance cost. Plasma can be used to cut thin and thick metals. Especially on thicker materials, the effect is better; CO2 laser cutting machine is also suitable for cutting thick metal with high cost but low precision.
With its excellent cutting accuracy (0.02 mm/min), lower energy consumption, higher productivity and less maintenance, the optical fiber laser cutting machine has become the leading laser cutting solution at present.
What should I know before buying a laser cutting machine?
How to select optical fiber laser cutting machine for metal?
Materials
You should determine whether your materials involve steel pipes, for which we can configure an additional fiber laser tube cutting equipment for the laser equipment.
In addition, if your material contains high reflectivity metals, such as silver, aluminum, red copper, etc. We recommend that you use nLIGHT laser source, which is very suitable for processing reflective materials.
Material size
The material size is also the key to select the optical fiber laser cutting machine.
It depends on the size of the products you produce and the workshop space.
You should carefully measure them, and then determine the size of the worktable or the lathe of the fiber laser cutter.
Cutting thickness
In order to achieve perfect cutting effect and work efficiency,
The thickness of the material must match the power of the optical fiber laser cutting machine.
In addition, your daily expected productivity will help you choose
The production wattage directly affects the cutting speed.
However, note that different metals with the same thickness also require different wattage.
