Many people think that the fiber laser cutting machine belongs to the cutting machine category, and imported lasers are used. The cutting range should be wide and the effect should be much better than other methods. In fact, there are also special types of cutting machines. Each type of cutting machine has its own advantages and disadvantages. The following is a detailed analysis.
First of all, the fiber laser cutting machine belongs to the processing category of metal laser cutting machine, so it can only cut metal, not cloth, skin, stone and other non-metallic materials. The reason is simple. The wavelength range of the fiber laser cutting machine is not within the absorption range of the above materials, or the absorption is not appropriate, and the ideal cutting effect cannot be achieved. At present, the advantages of applying it to non-metallic cutting are not obvious, Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of developing this demand in the future;
Secondly, the fiber laser cutting machine does not recommend cutting rare metal materials such as aluminum and copper for a long time, because these materials belong to high reflection materials (Note: high reflection has little to do with the smoothness of the cutting surface of the plate, mainly because the wavelength of the laser is not within the ideal absorption range of these materials, and the absorption effect is not good. Most of the energy is reflected back, which easily damages the protective lens in front of the laser head). The long-term use effect is not good, It will also increase the consumption of consumables;
Finally, according to the power of the fiber laser cutting machine, the cutting thickness also changes. The greater the power, the greater the cutting thickness, the thinner the metal material, and the faster the cutting speed. The advantages of the fiber laser cutting machine for thin plate cutting are very obvious.
