The laser cutting machine revolutionized the manufacturing industry. They can perfectly recreate the designs made on the computer in minutes or even seconds. Laser cutting technology uses lasers to cut materials. This technology is deeply loved by enthusiasts and is also widely used in industrial applications. Let’s take a look at what an industrial laser cutting machine is, the different types of lasers that exist, and the results they can achieve.<\/p>\n

What is an industrial laser cutting machine?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A laser cutting machine is a kind of CNC machine tool. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. The name comes from the fact that CNC machines take commands from drawings that have been digitized and converted into computer language describing every angle and curve of the design.<\/p>\n

After completing the drawing in the computer rendering program, all the designer has to do is send the design to the machine. This is much like sending an image file to a typical printer.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the laser cutting machine can recreate these designs in a few minutes and can produce as many parts as you need.<\/p>\n

How does the <\/span>industrial <\/span>laser cutting machine work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are several different types of lasers used in CNC machine tools, which will be introduced in the next section. But all laser cutting machines work in a similar way.<\/p>\n

It all starts with a laser source, which produces a powerful, consistent light that can be adjusted quickly and accurately.<\/p>\n

Then the light is focused and redirected until it reaches a good point. If you have ever used sunlight and a magnifying glass to make a fire, you will be familiar with how it works. When the light is concentrated enough, it becomes very hot and can penetrate the material of your choice.<\/p>\n

The laser is usually installed on a gantry system. This allows the laser to move anywhere on the XY axis. This means that even if a lot of curves and angles are involved, it can reproduce the design very accurately.<\/p>\n

In other words, not all lasers can produce the same level of detail. Some lasers are not strong enough to cut metal.<\/p>\n

Types of industrial laser cutting machines<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to the laser source and processing material, there are generally two types of industrial laser cutting machines. One is a fiber laser cutting machine, and the other is a CO2 laser cutting machine. A fiber laser cutting machine is used to cut metal materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and galvanized steel. The CO2 laser cutting machine mainly cuts and engraves almost all non-metallic materials, such as wood, acrylic, fabric, paper, and leather.<\/p>\n

What is a fiber laser cutting machine?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Fiber laser cutting machine<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong> is currently a popular type of laser cutting, using a fiber laser source to achieve perfect cutting results. Fiber laser is a solid-state laser, which is developing rapidly in the metal cutting industry.<\/p>\n

How does a fiber laser cutting machine work?<\/span><\/h4>\n

The optical fiber receives the light source from the resonant cavity of the laser cutting machine and transmits it to the cutting head controlled by the numerical control system. In the cutting head, the laser is emitted from the end of the fiber optic cable and refocused through a series of focusing lenses to a nearly perfect spot on the surface of the material. With cutting gases such as NO2 and O2 around the laser, the material to be processed vaporizes quickly in the strong heart and is blown away as dust particles.<\/p>\n

In actual laser cutting applications, users often have different specific processing requirements. Some beginners may want to buy an economical industrial laser cutting machine. And some users may require a higher level of automation or may require additional protection devices.<\/p>\n
