Choosing the Right Cutting Machine

Laser cutting machines use the heat emitted by a laser beam guided by mirrors or optical fibers. Depending on the type of laser, you can cut different types of materials.

  • CO2 laser cutting machines are generally used for cutting plastic, foam, wood, glass, textile or soft steel. A CO2 laser cannot cut reflective metals such as copper or brass.
  • The more powerful  fiber laser cutting machines are reserved for cutting sheet metal, steel, stainless steel, aluminum and some plastics.

Laser cutting allows you to cut different materials without having to change tools, simply by setting the laser parameters. It is a very precise process, with a very small notch width allowing for complex contours. Depending on the material to be cut, the cutting speed can be very fast. Laser cutting machines are fully automated and require very little human intervention, which greatly limits the risk of accidents.

The main limitation of laser cutting is its shallow cutting depth of around 25 millimeters. As a result, the main applications of laser cutting are the manufacture of sheet metal (especially for the automotive industry) and frames (for electrical cabinets, computers, etc.). For workpieces thicker than 25 mm, plasma cutting is the most suitable method. The area heated by the laser beam is not very large, but since it is subject to a strong temperature increase, it can become highly deformed.

Laser cutting produces gaseous emissions, so it is important to ensure that the room in which the machine is located is well ventilated.

How To Choose The Right Laser Cutting Machine?

 

Before purchasing a laser cutting machine, you must have a certain understanding of the products, functions and features to ensure you get the best. The following Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Supplier lists the main factors you should consider when deciding to purchase a laser cutting machine:

Function type

 

How will this machine be used? This is the first consideration before making a purchase decision. This machine has two main functions: cutting and engraving. So, decide first! You can use a laser cutter to cut different types of materials, these materials have different specifications, so it is best to first decide how you want to use this machine so that you can make an informed decision.

 

2. Size of machine tool

 

You should decide how much work you want to do with a laser cutter. The size of the laser cutting machine determines the amount of work you can do with it. The size of the machine varies. The bigger the size, the more work your machine can do. Since the size of the bed is a permanent feature, you cannot change it later. Therefore, your decision must be based on the amount of cutting work you plan to do. For example, if you have a plan to handle a large project, you obviously should buy a laser cutting machine with a large processing format.

With competitive price and timely delivery, SIEME sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

 

3. Optical quality

 

The performance and working quality of a laser cutting machine largely depends on the quality of the optical components. Many people are unaware of this fact and believe that power consumption is an important factor in determining the efficiency of a machine. But the most important thing is not the power, but the quality of the optics. Therefore, when making a purchase decision, you should not worry too much about the energy consumed by the laser cutting machine, but should focus on the quality of the machine's optical components. To ensure the quality of the machine's optics, you need to see demonstrations on how the machine works on different materials and on different settings.

 

4. About power

 

Before you buy, determine how much power you need. If you want to buy a laser cutter for artistic purposes, you can choose a laser cutter with a lower power. If you may need to penetrate or cut some thick metal for manufacturing purposes, you need to choose a higher power laser cutter.

 

5. User-friendliness

 

The laser cutter should have an easy-to-use user interface. As a new buyer, you may not know how to operate a laser cutter. Therefore, your machine should be accompanied by an easy-to-use user manual, which should not only explain how to operate the machine, but also how to perform maintenance and simple repairs.

 

The above is the method of selecting the appropriate laser cutting machine introduced by the Enclosed Laser Cutting Machine supplier. I hope it can help everyone.
