Fiber laser cutting systems can be used to cut various metal materials (sheet steels. metal tube. metal profile. 3D curved metals. and irregular metals). They are capable of cutting carbon steel, mild, stainless steel. spring steel. galvanized. aluminum, copper. gold. silver. alloy. titanium. iron. brass. manganese. chromium. nickel. cobalt. lead.
Laser cutter is an automated laser tool that includes CNC controller and machine frame. It also includes power supply, laser tube and laser head.
CO2 laser cutting machines consist of CO2 gas along with a mixture of other gases like helium and nitrogen. This type of gas mixture is charged up by electric discharge which then produces the laser beam. The wavelength of such cutters is 10.6mm.
Are you trying to find the best budget machine for laser cutting?
Based on the table size, laser cutting systems are classified as handheld, portable, small, desktop, benchtop and tabletop. Take measurements of your workshop to make sure it fits, then buy the right table.
The slit has no mechanical stress, no shear burr. It is high precision, good repeatability, does not damage the surface of the material with smooth cut edge.
The Fusion Pro Series offers a fiber laser that can be added to your CO2 laser machine to allow you to engrave or mark metals. Dual source laser machines will allow you to expand your capabilities and increase your company's product and profit offerings.
A beginner or professional should operate the laser cutting machine under the guidance of the instructions and the safety tips in the user manual to avoid accidents. You must follow the listed safety rules; The operator must consult all the manuals provided with the machine, be familiar with the structure and performance of the equipment, and master the relevant knowledge of the operating system. Wear labor protection equipment as required, and wear protective glasses that meet the regulations near the laser beam. Do not process the material until it is determined whether the material can be irradiated or heated by the laser to avoid the potential danger of fumes and vapors. When the machine is started, the operator shall not leave the post or be managed by the trustee without authorization. Keep the fire extinguisher within easy reach. Turn off the laser or shutter when not working. Do not place paper, cloth or other flammable materials near an unprotected laser beam. If an abnormality is found during the processing, the machine should be stopped immediately, and the fault should be eliminated or reported to the supervisor in time. Keep the laser, bed and surrounding sites clean, orderly and free of oil. Workpieces, plates and scraps are stacked according to regulations. When using gas cylinders, avoid squeezing wires, water pipes and air pipes to avoid leakage of electricity, water and air. The use and transportation of gas cylinders shall comply with gas cylinder regulations. Do not expose gas cylinders to direct sunlight or near heat sources. When opening the bottle valve, the operator must stand on the side of the bottle mouth. Before turning on the power of the chiller, check the water level of the chiller.
We should first verify that all connections (including power supply and exhaust system) have been correctly inserted. Visually inspect the machine's condition. Verify that the machine is free to move and that there are no materials under the table. Make sure that your work area and all optical components are clean. This issue is covered in the "General Maintenance" section. If necessary, check the exhaust system and turn on the cooling system. Make sure that the instructions are followed when installing the filter or activated carbon in the exhaust system. Close the protective cover after you have checked.
Choose suitable nozzles and lenses, and inspect them to make sure their appearance and cleanliness are intact;
Select the right gas based on your cutting requirements and verify that the jet is in good shape.
The main component of the beam delivery assembly is the refractive mirror, which is used to direct the beam in the desired direction. The reflector is usually protected by a protective cover, and a clean positive pressure protective gas is introduced to protect the lens from contamination.
Need to work with metal? The Triumph Fiber Laser Cutting Machine is made for it, making it the ideal choice for engraving. You can cut aluminium, stainless steel, copper, gold and silver without shadowing thanks to a high-speed galvanometer.
The laser's interlocked metal enclosure carries with it a class 2 safety rating, which allows for safe use in any workshop, home, or office.
Cutting thick materials is difficult.
The less effective laser cutting becomes as the material thickness increases. For example, when it comes to cutting thick sheets of carbon steel, laser cutting may be difficult.
Laser power of 80W. A laser can typically cut up to 10mm acrylic and up to 9mm soft woods.
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.
