At present, sheet metal laser cutting machines are a common equipment in sheet metal processing, and their efficient and flexible processing characteristics solve the shortcomings of traditional CNC punching machines. The principle is to irradiate a high-energy laser beam on the surface of the steel plate, release energy, and melt and evaporate the steel plate on the irradiated surface, thereby achieving the cutting effect.

When using a sheet metal laser cutting machine, some customers may also mention the issue of low efficiency compared to punching machines. So, how should we solve it?

1. The machine tool should be regularly maintained; Machine tools are a major component that tests the stability of laser cutting machines, and their operating speed mainly depends on motors, reducers, guide rails, and racks. Therefore, if you want to improve efficiency, the maintenance and repair of these parts are also indispensable.

2. Replace optical lenses; The laser is mainly emitted by the laser and then focused by the cutting head to achieve the cutting effect. There are many optical lenses inside the cutting head, and light is expanded and focused through optical lenses. Due to the poor working environment of the laser cutting machine, dust can contaminate the optical lenses after prolonged operation, greatly reducing the laser transmittance and cutting efficiency. Therefore, optical lenses also require regular maintenance and replacement.

3. Upgrade laser; Some customers have low cutting efficiency when cutting thick plates due to low laser power. Therefore, improving the cutting speed and laser cutting power is the most effective way to upgrade the laser.
