What are the applications of laser cutting machines in sheet metal processing

2024-09-11


The compressed air assisted cutting of laser cutting machines can also achieve the same cutting quality as oxygen or nitrogen. The cutting edge needs to be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that most of the powder coating adheres and does not require two washes. The size of the resonant cavity is the main limitation of using compressed air assisted laser cutting. But now, high-power laser cutting machines have become an effective method for air assisted cutting of steel, stainless steel, and up to 1/8 inch thick (about 3mm) aluminum materials at 4000W.
The laser cutting machine with a 6000W resonator can cut to a material thickness of 3/8 inch (approximately 9.5mm). This discovery changed the manufacturing and assembly methods of Palmyra Corporation (Doyle) in Missouri, which now has a 50cl-940 fiber laser cutting machine and uses nitrogen gas at a fraction of the cost of the original air assisted gas fiber laser cutting system. Doyle said, "This new type of fiber laser cutting machine has changed the rules of the game and the way we think about product manufacturing.
In fact, laser technology continues to surprise us and innovate in ways that have been present in the industry for many years. In recent years, the HCF3015i series fiber laser industry has promoted the launch of Huineng photoelectric cutting machines, fiber transmission, and flexible processing to meet various processing needs. 1mm stainless steel plate, with a maximum cutting speed of 22 meters per minute, 0.5mm stainless steel plate, with a maximum cutting speed of 40 meters per hour. The 3015i series is equipped with dual opening and closing gauges, and the cutting table is equipped with processing balls for easy plate movement; Coarse positioning device for board positioning, while preventing movement, high processing accuracy, and reducing waste.
In terms of laser cutting, there is no shortage of high-power lasers in China. Recently, it has been reported that the innovative layout of new technologies in the research and development of laser manufacturing, high-power cutting and welding, industrial robots, robot based equipment and other fields in South Korea reflects grand plans and lofty aspirations.
The Korean G3015F fiber laser cutting machine is also well-known for cutting metal sheets on site. It is one of the earliest lasers in China and has reached the international advanced level. It is a mature product that has successfully won numerous industry awards. G3015F uses fiber optic transmission and flexible processing to achieve high-quality cutting of any shape, suitable for cutting high return materials such as copper and aluminum. This series of products has the advantages of strong cutting ability, fast flight speed, low operating cost, good stability, high processing quality, and strong adaptability.
Among them, the cutting speed of 1mm stainless steel is 40m/min, and the cutting speed of 0.5mm stainless steel is 100m/min. The invisible hero behind the laser cutting machine makes the processing fly and speak for itself. The TRUMPF TruFlow series CO2 laser with a maximum power of 10000w can be applied to laser cutting, laser welding, and surface treatment. Folding into a square structure and maintaining a stable temperature for all vibration components under thermal load, the Truflow laser series provides excellent thermal and mechanical stability. After decades of development, this series of lasers can provide users with repeated high-quality processing results at any time.
