What is a laser cutting machine used for?

The laser cutting machine focuses the laser emitted from the laser into a laser beam with high power density through the optical path system. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece to make the workpiece reach the melting point or boiling point. At the same time, the high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam blows away the molten or gasified metal.

With the movement of the relative position between the beam and the workpiece, the material will finally form a slit, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting.

Laser cutting process uses invisible light beam to replace the traditional mechanical knife. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to the limitation of cutting pattern, automatic typesetting, material saving, smooth incision and low processing cost. It will gradually improve or replace the traditional metal cutting process equipment. The mechanical part of the laser cutter head has no contact with the workpiece and will not scratch the workpiece surface during operation; The laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and there is generally no need for subsequent processing; The cutting heat affected zone is small, the plate deformation is small, and the cutting seam is narrow (0.1mm ~ 0.3mm); the notch has no mechanical stress and shear burr; the machining precision is high, the repeatability is good, and the material surface is not damaged; NC programming can process any plan, which can cut the whole plate with a large format without opening a mold, which is economical and time-saving.
