laser cutting machine

The laser cutting system consists of a laser generator, beam transmission components, a workbench (machine tool), a microcomputer numerical control cabinet, a cooler, and a computer (hardware and software).

1. Machine tool host part: The mechanical part of the X, Y, and Z axis movement of the laser cutting machine tool includes the cutting platform. Usually driven by a servo motor, it is used to place the cutting workpiece and move it correctly and accurately according to the control program.

2. Laser generator: A device that generates a laser light source. For the use of laser cutting, except for a few occasions where YAG is used, except for solid-state lasers, the vast majority have high electro-optical conversion efficiency and can output high-power CO2 gas lasers. Not all lasers are used for cutting, as laser cutting requires high beam quality.

3. External optical path: The refractor is used to guide the laser in the desired direction. To prevent beam channel failure, all mirrors should be protected with protective covers and protected from contamination by clean positive pressure gas. A set of high-performance lenses focuses a non divergent beam of light into infinitely small light points.

4. CNC system: It controls the movement of the machine tool's X, Y, and Z axes and also controls the output power of the laser.

5. Stabilized power supply: Connect the laser, CNC machine tool, and power system. Mainly preventing interference from external power grids.

6. Cutting head: mainly including cavity, focusing lens seat, focusing mirror, capacitive sensor, and auxiliary gas nozzle. The cutting head driving device is composed of servo motors, screws or gears and other driving components, which drive the cutting head to move along the Z-axis according to the program.

7. Control the working process of the entire cutting device.

8. Water chiller: used to cool the laser generator. Cooling water takes away excess heat to maintain the normal operation of the laser generator. The chiller also cools the external light path reflector and focusing mirror of the machine tool, ensuring stable beam transmission quality and effectively preventing deformation or bursting of the lens due to high temperature.

9. Gas cylinders: including laser cutting machine working medium gas cylinders and auxiliary gas cylinders, used to supplement laser impact industrial gases and auxiliary gases.

10. Air compressor and air storage tank: provide and store compressed air.

11. Air cooling dryer and filter: used to provide clean dry air to the laser generator and beam channel to maintain the normal operation of the channel and reflector.

12. Suction dust collector: Extract the smoke and dust generated during the processing process and filter it to ensure that the exhaust gas emissions meet environmental standards.

13. Slag removal machine: removes waste materials and waste materials generated during the processing.

A laser cutting machine focuses the laser emitted from the laser into a high-power laser beam through an optical path system. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece, causing it to reach the melting or boiling point, and high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam blows away the melted or vaporized metal. As the beam of light moves relative to the workpiece, the material ultimately forms a joint, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting.

Laser cutting processing uses invisible beams of light instead of traditional mechanical knives, with high accuracy, fast cutting, not limited to cutting patterns, automatic layout saving materials, smooth cuts, low processing costs, and will gradually improve or replace traditional metal cutting process equipment.
