With the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, more and more families have bought cars. They know or heard that there are single drive and dual drive cars. In the field of sheet metal processing, optical fiber laser cutting machines, as the fastest metal cutting machine, also have single drive and dual drive cars. Let's learn about the differences between bilateral drive and unilateral drive.
The optical fiber laser cutting machine has the characteristics of high speed, stability, burr free, high precision, full time processing, etc., which is deeply loved by customers. However, there is fierce competition in the market now, with many manufacturers and various configurations, which makes it difficult for customers who just contact the laser cutting machine to distinguish clearly.
As we all know, common optical fiber laser cutting machines generally adopt gantry structure, and the gantry structure laser cutting equipment has two motion modes, one is gantry moving and worktable fixed during processing, the other is gantry fixed and worktable moving. However, in actual production, the first motion mode is usually used for large format sheet metal processing, because the worktable moving with the workpiece is not suitable for high-speed and thick plate cutting.
The bilateral drive of optical fiber laser cutting machine refers to that both sides of the gantry beam are symmetrically equipped with gear racks and servo motors to achieve dual gear rack drive and dual servo motor drive. Bilateral driving ensures that the force on the beam is balanced and the beam runs synchronously.
The unilateral drive of the optical fiber laser cutting machine refers to that the servo motor is installed at one end of the gantry beam, and then transmits the driving force to the other end through a long shaft to achieve dual gear rack drive and single servo motor drive. Unilateral driving makes the force on both ends of the beam unbalanced, affecting the synchronization accuracy and reducing the dynamic performance of the machine tool.
Through comparison, it is found that whether the optical fiber laser cutting machine is single drive or double drive is related to the processing speed and accuracy of the whole equipment, so customers who need it must understand clearly when choosing to purchase the optical fiber laser cutting machine.
