When purchasing a laser cutting head, many people will give priority to its cost performance. Not only is the price appropriate, but also cutting quality and cutting ability are the focus of analysis and comparison. The price is an easy to view and analyze figure, but to reduce the materials you usually use, you need to carefully consider its rated power.
The cutting ability of laser cutting head is mainly different in cutting materials and thickness.
Generally, laser cutting heads are used to cut metal materials, as well as some materials, such as plastics and glass ceramics. Here, metal is mainly described. Metal materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper and other non-ferrous metals. Their metal properties are different, so the requirements for cutting heads are also different. The higher the melting point or vaporization point, the higher the rated power of laser cutting. vice versa.
From the perspective of cutting thickness, the greater the thickness of metal materials, the higher the required rated power. High power cutting head can cut thin plates, but low power cutting head is not recommended to cut thick plates. Theoretically, the higher the power of the laser head, the better the cutting effect, but not all. Only by selecting and cutting the power suitable for the thickness, can we cut high-quality products.
From the current market application, generally speaking, 1000W-4000W laser head can meet the cutting demand.
