When the laser cutting machine is cutting, in order to achieve better efficiency and cutting quality, there are many small details and some precautions that need to be paid attention to. Only mastering these small skills can make the equipment more efficient. Here's Redsail laser:
1、 Corner melting; When cutting the corner of the sheet steel at a reduced speed, the laser will melt the corner due to overheating. A small radius is generated at the corner to maintain high speed laser cutting and avoid overheating and melting of steel plates when cutting corners, so as to achieve good cutting quality, reduce cutting time and improve cutting efficiency.
2、 Part spacing; Generally, when cutting thick plates and hot plates, it is necessary to increase the spacing between parts. Because thick plates and hot plates have a great thermal impact, it is easy to burn edges when cutting sharp corners and small figures, which affects the cutting quality.
3、 Leader settings; When cutting thick plates, in order to ensure good connection of the cutting seams and prevent burns at the beginning and end of the cutting process, a section of transition line, called lead line and tail line, is often introduced at the beginning and end of the cutting process The lead wire and tail wire are useless to the workpiece itself, so they should be placed outside the scope of the workpiece. At the same time, it should be noted that the lead wire should not be set at sharp corners and other places that are not easy to dissipate heat. The connection between the lead wire and the kerf shall adopt arc transition as far as possible to make the mechanical movement stable and avoid burns caused by corner standstill.
4、 Common edge cutting; Two or more types of parts share the same edge to form a combination. Large batches of regular graphics should share the same edge as much as possible. Cutting with the same edge can greatly shorten the cutting time and save raw materials.
5、 Part collision; Many laser cutting machines operate continuously for 24 hours. Some will use automatic loading and unloading devices. In order to avoid cutting head damage and manufacturing interruption caused by impacting cutting parts, it is necessary to pay attention to selecting appropriate cutting paths, bypassing the cut parts, and reducing collisions. Select a good cutting route to reduce cutting time.
