CO2 laser cutters are the most common and well-reputed because of their efficiency and cheaper prices.
During the operation, the staff needs to be present at the scene to observe the cutting condition of the equipment, and if there is an emergency, they need to quickly press the brake button;
Laser beam is a type or light. It is produced by the conversion of atoms, molecules, or ions. Laser beam is unique in that it does not depend on spontaneous radiation. The excitation radiation determines the subsequent process. Because of this, it has very high luminous intensity, almost no direction deviation, and high coherence.
Different laser powers can be used to cut different projects of different thickness. The general rule is to use a higher power laser for thicker parts. Make sure you make the right choice based on your needs.
The basic principle of the operation is to guide the beam of a pro laser beam with high power to melt the materials so that the edge has an excellent surface finish.
Laser cutting machine is a type of automatic laser system with CNC controller, which adopts CO2 or FIBER laser beam to cut metals (steel, copper, brass, aluminum, gold, silver, alloy, iron), acrylic, rubber, wood, plastic, leather, paper, foam, textile, fabric into 2D/3D shapes and profiles.
Before starting the machine every day, carefully check the pressure of the working gas and cutting gas. If the gas pressure is not enough, it should be replaced in time. Check whether the zero points of X axis, Y axis, and Z-axis, laser ready state and other buttons are damaged. Check whether the zero point, limit switch, and travel block mounting screws of the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis are loose, and whether the limit switches of each axis are sensitive. Check whether the circulating water level in the chiller is sufficient. If it is insufficient, it must be replenished in time. Check whether there is leakage of the circulating water in the external optical path, and the leakage must be dealt with in time, otherwise the life of the optical lens will be affected. The cutting waste should be cleaned up in time, the workplace should be cleaned up, and the workplace should be kept clean and tidy. At the same time, do a good job of cleaning the equipment to ensure that all parts of the equipment are clean and free of stains, and no debris can be placed in each part of the equipment.After the daily work is completed, open the drain valve of the air storage tank at the bottom of the air compressor to drain water, and close the drain valve after the waste water is discharged. After the daily work is completed, shut down according to the shutdown steps, and then turn off the main power of the entire machine.
According to your own cutting needs, select a suitable gas, and check whether the jet is in good condition;
AMADA laser cutting systems utilize the latest advances in fiber laser and CO2 manufacturing technology that enable customers to maximize their productivity and profitability. The laser technology in AMADA fiber laser and CO2 cutting machines allows for high cutting speeds and the flexibility to process a wide range of materials like aluminum, steel, copper and brass resulting in Process Range Expansion (P.R.E.). AMADA's Fiber Laser Cutting Systems and CO2 Laser Cutting Systems range from 1kW to 12kW. Their advanced motion and innovative beam delivery systems are engineered to raise productivity, increase cut quality and reduce operating costs.
A CNC controller allows you to control the movements of the X-Y and Z axes. It also sets cutting parameters such as power, speed, and other parameters.
Since CO2 cutters have been in markets for a long, factories have trained in-house personnel for maintenance and repair. For fiber lasers, you might have to call your supplier in case of a problem.
No matter if you need to cut wood, plywood, mdf or basswood, leather, fabric, paper or cardboard, we have a laser cutter machine that can do it all!
As already mentioned above, laser cutting technology finds its uses in various fields. It starts from electronics, medicine, defense industry, automotive and ends in the healthcare and design industry. The most prominent application of laser cutters is cutting any kind of metal.
The laser attaches with your computer in the same way as a printer via USB or Ethernet. To start cutting, you can use the design software that you prefer!
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.
