From its inception to the present, the metal laser cutting machine has stood out in the fierce market competition and has been recognized by the majority of customers. Longtai will introduce to new friends who are still hesitating to purchase laser cutting machines what advantages the laser cutting machine has that traditional cutting methods cannot match. This article will compare laser cutting with flame cutting, so that you can intuitively feel the advantages of laser cutting machine:

Flame cutting:

Flame cutting has existed for a long time and is also an old cutting method. Besides, it is also limited in the thickness of metal cutting, and can only cut about 1mm to 5mm of metal.

At the same time, in the process of flame cutting, the influence on metal is also relatively large, such as thermal deformation, surface blackening, etc. The cutting efficiency is relatively low, and the accuracy is also relatively poor.

Laser cutting:

1. High precision. The laser cutting incision is narrow and the cutting surface is more smooth, without round corners and rough edges often found in the mechanical blanking opening (the disadvantage of traditional cutting), and the cutting deformation is small.

2. Fast. The power of the fiber optic device affects the cutting speed. Increasing the power of the fiber optic device will also increase the cutting speed.

3. High efficiency. Laser cutting is non-contact processing (advantages), without the impact force of mechanical blanking (disadvantages of traditional cutting), so it will not cause wear of cutting tools. The cutting is formed at one time, without subsequent processing.

4. Good flexibility. Without tools and abrasives, combined with CAD technology, it can cut plates of any shape and size, especially suitable for cutting complex parts.

5. Easy to use. Cutting can be realized by importing graphic setting parameters into the computer, and it is easy to learn.

6. Low maintenance cost. There is almost no maintenance cost for later use, and only the cooling water needs to be replaced regularly.
