In recent years, optical fiber laser cutting machine has been more and more favored by entrepreneurs in the sheet metal processing industry. This is just because compared with traditional cutting methods, optical fiber laser cutting machine consumes less materials, has high cutting accuracy and is fast in processing efficiency. Today, Longtai Laser shares with you the most common mistake about the optical fiber laser cutting machine – many people think that the thinner the metal plate is, the easier it is to cut, which is actually incorrect!
As we all know, the optical fiber laser cutting machine can quickly cut and process the metal sheet, but it is definitely not the thinner the metal sheet, the better the processing is. A metal sheet with a thickness of 1mm, if the optical fiber laser cutting machine is used for cutting, it is really very fast, with high precision, and the finished product effect is also very satisfactory, but what about the metal sheet thinner than 1mm? In many people’s opinion, the optical fiber laser cutting machine should cut the metal sheet faster and more accurately than the metal sheet of 1mm, but the fact is the opposite.
When using optical fiber laser cutting machine to cut thick metal sheet, it is very easy to cause the effect of surplus material to rise because the sheet is too thin, which affects the accuracy, and it is also quite troublesome to waste manpower for secondary processing. In the actual cutting process, some people put forward that several pieces should be cut together, but this can only ensure the cutting accuracy of the metal sheet on the surface, and the accuracy of the plate below will also be inaccurate, and the waste residue will remain on the surface.
The cutting efficiency of the optical fiber laser cutting machine is affected not only by the thickness of the plate, but also by the equipment parameters of the optical fiber laser cutting machine and the habits of workers using the equipment. In order to achieve the most ideal cutting efficiency of the optical fiber laser cutting machine, it is necessary to select the most appropriate optical fiber laser cutting machine according to the plate to be cut. If the optical fiber laser cutting machine on the market is divided according to the power, it is roughly 500w to 3000w. The most important thing to select the appropriate optical fiber laser cutting machine is to select a reliable and guaranteed laser cutting machine manufacturer with a certain production scale.
