The current processing equipment has low efficiency and high losses. We want to update the process but cannot guarantee the stability of the new process. The emergence of laser cutting machines has given us a great breakthrough in the field of production and processing of metal materials. The design principle of the laser cutting machine is to use a focused high-power laser beam to directly irradiate the product workpiece so that the illuminated material can quickly melt, vaporize, burn or reach the ignition point. At the same time, it relies on the rapid cyclonic blowing coaxial with the light. In addition to melting chemicals, the product workpiece can be cut apart. Laser cutting is one of the thermal cutting methods. Many customers in the processing industry or machinery industry are in the period of switching between old and new equipment. Compared with other thermal cutting methods, the actual advantages of laser cutting can be summarized as follows:
1. High cutting precision：
Because the laser spot is small, the energy is high, and the cutting speed is faster, laser cutting can achieve good cutting quality.
The laser cutting wound is narrow, the two sides of the slit are parallel and perpendicular to the surface, and the dimensional accuracy of the cut parts is high.
The cutting surface is smooth and beautiful, and the surface roughness is only a few tens of microns. Even laser cutting can be used as the last process, without mechanical processing, and the parts can be used immediately.
After the raw material is laser cut, the width of the thermal hazard zone is not large, and the properties of the materials surrounding the slit are almost unaffected. Moreover, the thermal deformation of the product workpiece is small, the cutting is high-precision, the three-dimensional geometric shape of the slit is good, and the cross-sectional shape of the slit is clear. A relatively standard rectangular shape.
2. High cutting efficiency：
Due to the transmission characteristics of laser, laser cutting machines are generally equipped with several CNC consoles, and the entire cutting process can be completely CNC controlled. During actual operation, just by changing the CNC program, it can be used for cutting different shapes of parts and can perform both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cutting.
3. Faster cutting speed：
Take the Pentium intelligent steel structure-specific laser cutting machine as an example. Its laser cutting speed is 300% higher than that of plasma. Moreover, the raw materials do not need to be clamped and fixed during laser cutting, which not only saves fixtures and tooling but also saves the auxiliary time for loading and cutting materials, greatly increasing the output.
4. Non-contact cutting：
There is no contact between the cutting torch and the product during laser cutting, and there will be no damage from special tools. To process parts of different styles, there is no need to replace the "laser head", only the input and output parameters of the laser need to be changed. The whole process of laser cutting has low noise, small vibration, and zero pollution.
5. There are many types of cutting raw materials：
Compared with oxyacetylene cutting and low-temperature plasma cutting, there are many types of laser cutting materials, including metal materials, non-metal materials, metal naphthenic non-metal based composite materials, leather products, wood and chemical fibers, etc. However, for different materials, due to their different thermal process performance and laser absorption rate, they show different laser cutting adaptability.
6. Easy to operate：
The new generation of laser cutting machines are computer numerically controlled and remotely operated. After the cutting drawings are imported, the work will be carried out automatically. All actions can be completed with one or two keys. It is very simple and reduces labor costs. In addition, many equipment are equipped with Automatic loading and unloading is more convenient.
7. Low cost of use：
One of the biggest benefits of using a laser cutting machine is the low cost of use and low maintenance costs, which is very beneficial to the business economy. And by spending less time on maintenance, you can spend more time cutting products, further increasing production. In terms of cost of use, since the cutting efficiency is significantly ahead of other processes, the relative cost will be much lower, which is more conducive to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
To sum up, judging from the market situation, the laser processing sales market continues to grow. In the context of sluggish macroeconomic policies and industrial production demand, laser processing weapon equipment relies on its work demand in the high-end processing and sales market. The scale of the industry maintains steady growth. In the technical field, laser processing has many technical advantages over traditional CNC lathe cutting and other heat treatments, and meets the high-precision, high-efficiency and other requirements required by the high-end processing market.
