When purchasing a metal laser cutting machine, the first thing to consider is the return on investment. Then the question arises: how to calculate the return on investment for a metal laser cutting machine? First of all, depending on the workload, if there is a lot of work, you should use a metal laser cutting machine every day, and buy a 1500 watt laser cutting machine (how much is a 1500 watt optical fiber cutting machine? Call the manufacturer immediately, the manufacturer sells directly, and the quality is good and the price is cheap.

In general, we think that the return period of metal laser cutting machine is 2 to 3 years. It is not recommended to buy laser equipment after more than 5 years. Optical fiber laser cutting machine is suitable for cutting thin plates within 20mm. If it is too thick, plasma and flame cutting are recommended. Please refer to our online ROI analysis table.

Here we remind you to pay attention to the quantity, not the profit margin!

Example of calculating ROI of metal laser cutting machine:

For the processing of 10mm thick plates, 8 yuan will be charged for each meter of cutting, and the perforation fee of 0.8 mao will reach 50000 yuan a year for each hole, 40000/8=5000 meters/processing fee

If you haven't bought the equipment, you can calculate it according to the processing cost of the previous year

If the customer's processing cost reaches 30000 yuan, it is not suitable. 3X60%=18000 yuan, the cost will be recovered in 10 years

If the customer's processing cost reaches 40000 to 50000 yuan, the cost will be paid back in 2-3 years if the cost reaches 50000 yuan

If the customer's processing cost reaches 50000 yuan, 5X60%=30000 yuan, the cost will be paid back in 2 years

Calculation formula: investment return period=purchase cost/processing fee

What if the customer only knows the material cost, but does not know the processing cost? Outsourcing * 50%=processing fee (outsourcing=material+processing fee). Blanking means making your metal into the shape you want. We call it blanking equipment. Assume that if you want to process externally after returning the cost, the average profit margin of laser processing is 50% - 60%.

Processing fee: I paid you 50000 yuan for processing for me. At least you need to earn me between 250000 and 30000 yuan. Now I can buy this equipment myself and process it myself. I can probably save about 30000 yuan. If you pay 30000 yuan a month, that's 300000 yuan a year and 12 months.

From this point of view, we first look at the size of the workload to calculate the ROI. To sum up, if there are many orders and jobs, it is the most cost-effective and highest return way to purchase a laser cutting machine yourself!
