In the production field, it is often necessary to cut different materials. The most common is metal box and non-metal. What is the difference between cutting these two different materials?
Generally, laser cutting machine is used to cut non-metallic materials, mainly CO2 laser cutting machine, with a wavelength of about 10600, which is suitable for cutting non-metallic materials.
It is preferable to use optical fiber or YAG equipment for cutting metal materials, because their wavelengths are between 1060 and 1070, and the metal materials have energy absorption problems for this wavelength. If CO2 equipment can be used for cutting, it depends on energy heat fusion.
Since the low-power laser cutting machine can only cut non-metal, you need to buy a high-power laser cutting machine if you want to cut metal. The specific number of watts of laser cutting machine depends on your use. Generally, the industrial laser cutting machine has 2500 watts, 3000 watts, 4000 watts and 6000 watts. There are two kinds of lasers, domestic and imported, depending on your personal situation.
