Laser cutting technology has been used more and more widely, especially in sheet metal and metal cutting industries. Although the metal cutting industry has a very large market share, many users still have various problems about how to select optical fiber laser cutting machines. Next, we will lead you to discuss how to choose a suitable fiber laser cutting machine.
1. Materials
First of all, we should define our business scope, cutting materials, thickness and other factors, and determine how much power is needed and how much processing format is commonly used according to our own needs. At present, the power of mainstream laser cutting machines in the market ranges from 500W to 6000W, while manufacturers with average workbench size can customize according to customer needs.
2. Select manufacturer
After confirming the demand, we can go to the market to learn about the performance and basic parameters of the laser cutting machine or go to the peers who have purchased the laser cutting machine. Select several manufacturers with strength and favorable price to communicate and sample in the early stage, and then we can conduct field investigation in the later stage to discuss the price of the machine, training of the machine, payment method, after-sales service, etc. in more detail.
3. Select power
When selecting the performance of laser cutting machine, we should fully consider our own needs, processing materials and thickness, and the selection of laser power is critical. For example, if we often cut metal sheets less than 6mm, then we can choose a 500W-700W laser cutting machine to meet the production needs. If we cut materials more than 6mm, we need to consider a machine with higher power, which is very helpful for the cost control of enterprises, In this way, you can buy products that can meet your needs, and at the same time, you can control your budget to avoid unnecessary waste.
4. Understanding Configuration
Some important parts of the laser cutting machine should also be paid attention to when purchasing. Especially laser, laser cutting head, servo motor, guide rail and rack, it is necessary to distinguish whether they are domestic or imported. These components directly affect the cutting speed and accuracy of the laser cutting machine.
5. Performance test
At present, the R&D cycle of products is short, the upgrading is faster and faster, and there is a lot of product diversity, sample trial production, and mass production. How to complete customer orders with quality and quantity, maintain the reputation of the enterprise, and enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise are also arduous tasks for each operator. Therefore, the purchase of processing equipment with stable performance is the premise and foundation, and try to choose a high market share, a sound after-sales service system Brands with many after-sales service outlets and long-term market inspection should not buy products with poor quality and no after-sales service just because of low prices, which will bring great uncertainty to the production of enterprises.
6. Field visit
The after-sales service provided by each manufacturer varies greatly, as does the length of warranty. In terms of after-sales service, we should not only provide customers with effective daily maintenance programs, but also have a professional training system for machines and laser software to help customers get started as soon as possible.
The above content is about how to select the optical fiber laser cutting machine. In fact, no matter how well the large-scale mechanical equipment is done, users will encounter problems of one kind or another in the process of use. When they encounter problems that customers cannot solve themselves, it is particularly important that the manufacturer can provide solutions in a timely manner, so the after-sales of the machine is very important.
