Laser cutting systems can also be used in commercial manufacturing and school education.
Fiber laser cutting machines can be used to cut many metal materials (sheet, tube, metal profile and 3D curved and irregular metals), such as carbon steel.
Laser cutters that combine sheet metal and tube cutting for commercial purposes with automotion are available for sale starting at $42,500 to $116,000
A desktop laser system from GSS Machinery is an excellent choice for your first laser system. The Zing 16 combines top-notch components and the highest-quality engraving in an affordable desktop package.
The laser cutting system is industrial-grade and maintenance-free. It has exceptional technical advantages, low power consumption and lower operating costs. Laser positioning performance can be repeated and accurately positioned. This establishes new standards in process quality inspection and sets a new benchmark for cutting complex patterns.
The cost of each type can vary from low-end to expensive or eco-friendly.
To extend the life of your machine, you must check its straightness and verticality every six months. If any anomaly is discovered, you should maintain and debug it promptly.
Laser cutting is accomplished by using high power density energy generated by a focused laser beam. The CNC controller outputs a high frequency pulsed laser in a pulsed way to create a beam that is a particular frequency and pulse width. The laser beam is transmitted and reflected by the optical path before being focused by the lens group. The part is illuminated by a tiny, high-energy spot. This focal point is found near the surface. At an instant high temperature, the material melts and vaporizes. Each laser pulse causes a small hole to be created in the substrate. With the help of the computer numerical controller, both the substrate and laser head perform continuous relative movement according to the file. The laser head can then cut the substrate into the desired form.
Laser beam is a type of light, and like other natural light, it is produced by the transition of atoms (molecules or ions). However, it is different from ordinary light in that the laser depends on spontaneous radiation only for a very short period of time. The subsequent process is completely determined by the excitation radiation, so it has a very pure color, almost no divergence direction, and extremely high luminous intensity, and high coherence.
The industrial-grade, maintenance-free laser-cutting system has many technical advantages. It is extremely efficient in cutting complex patterns, uses very little power, reduces operating costs and can be used repeatedly and accurately. This set a new standard for quality control and process quality inspection.
It's as easy as 1-2-3. Since our laser machines work much like a standard printer, they keep your workflow simple.
First, we should check all the connections of the machine (including power supply, PC and exhaust system) are correct and inserted correctly. Visually check the condition of the machine. Ensure that all mechanisms move freely, and check that there is no material under the processing table. Ensure that the work area and optical components are clean, and clean if necessary. For more information on this issue, please read the "General Maintenance" section of the operation manual. Check the exhaust system and start the cooling system if necessary. Check whether the filter and activated carbon of the exhaust system are installed in accordance with the instructions. After checking, close the protective cover.
The laser attaches directly to your computer via USB or Ethernet, just like a printer. Start cutting with the design software you choose!
GSS Machinery lasers are easy to use.
Laser cutting is classified into three types: fusion cutting, flame cutting, and remote cutting. An inert gas (typically nitrogen) is used in fusion cutting to expel molten material from the kerf. Nitrogen gas does not exothermically react with molten material and thus contributes no energy to the system.
Laser Cutting Process Drawbacks
When compared to other techniques, laser cutting requires a high power consumption.
The laser beam is extremely delicate to handle.
If the laser beam comes into contact with human workers, it is hazardous.
Laser cutting is still unable to cut thick metals.
Laser cutters can cut all types of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and nonferrous metals.
