Optical fiber laser cutting machines have gradually appeared in all corners of our lives. Laser cutting machines are mainly used in sheet metal processing, advertising production, kitchen utensils and other industries.Laser cutting is more suitable for industry. It can be used to cut large metal materials, which has many advantages that other machines cannot match. In metal processing projects, some key factors have helped to popularize the laser cutting technology. First, laser cutting has unparalleled precision, which is a great advantage of traditional cutting technology. In addition, laser cutting guarantees first-class performance as long as clean cutting and smoother edges are needed, because the laser energy cut with a highly focused beam can maintain a strict tolerance around the desired cutting area.In the practical application of laser cutting machine, what are the main advantages?
The advantages of fiber lasers over other laser power types
1. The biggest advantage: the coupled light has become a flexible fiber. This is the first advantage of fiber lasers over other types. Because the light is already in the fiber, it is easy to deliver the light to the movable focusing element. In this case, it is very important for laser cutting, welding and folding of metals and polymers.
2. High output power. This is the second advantage of fiber lasers over other types. Fiber lasers have an active area several kilometers long and can therefore provide very high optical gain. In fact, they can support kilowatt-level continuous output power due to the high surface area-to-volume ratio of the fiber that enables efficient cooling.
3. High optical quality: The waveguide properties of the fiber reduce or eliminate thermal distortion of the optical path, often resulting in a diffraction-limited high-quality beam. Compact size: By comparing fiber lasers, rod or gas lasers of comparable power, fibers can be bent and coiled to save space.
4. Lower cost of ownership.
In this case, modern technology uses fiber lasers to create high-performance surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. These lasers increase yield and lower cost of ownership compared to older solid-state lasers. Fiber laser cutting machine can process no distortion and has a good material adaptability. Regardless of the material, it can be cut by one-time precision rapid prototyping with laser. Its slit is narrow and cutting quality is good. It can achieve automatic cutting layout, nesting, improve material utilization rate and good economic benefit.
5. High cutting quality
Due to the small laser spot, high energy density and fast cutting speed, laser cutting can obtain better cutting quality. The incision is narrow, the two sides of the slit are parallel and the perpendicularity to the surface is good, and the dimensional accuracy of the cut parts is high. The cutting surface is smooth and beautiful, and it can even be used as the last processing step without machining, and the parts can be used directly.
6. Low loss
The laser cutting machine has fast cutting speed, high degree of automation, easy operation and low labor intensity, which can greatly reduce the demand for labor, and at the same time, the demand for consumables is low, generally speaking. Daily consumables are only gas and cooling water. It is also pollution-free and environmentally friendly.
