When many enterprises choose mechanical equipment for metal processing, it is difficult to figure out how to choose their own suitable machines. Is it economical or effective? Is the cutting precision high or the speed slow?
Plasma cutting machine is an ideal machine for cutting carbon steel. Its cutting speed is higher than that of flame cutting, but it needs to sacrifice some waste materials, which is a waste of resources, and the cost increases in disguised form. The cutting range of plasma cutting machine is 6mm-40mm. Slag will hang when it is too thin or too thick. In addition, when plasma cutting machine is cutting aluminum and other metals, it will blacken and affect the appearance. The range of materials to be cut has certain limitations, but the price of plasma cutting machine is cheaper than that of laser cutting machine. If you choose plasma cutting machine, you should tolerate the occasional slag hanging at the bottom of steel plate.
Laser cutting machines cut a wide range of materials, with the difference between cutting pipes and cutting plates. Laser tube cutting machine can cut round tubes, square tubes, U-shaped tubes, etc., and the cutting accuracy is also relatively high. There is no burr in cutting, and there is no waste of tailings. Basically, zero tailings are achieved. Plate laser cutting machine also has little restriction on the thickness of plates. It can cut thick steel plates to achieve accurate cutting. But compared with plasma cutting machine, the price of laser cutting machine will be more expensive. Therefore, we should choose the appropriate cutting machine equipment according to our actual situation.
