Compared with other traditional cutting methods, laser cutting has many advantages, which can be summarized as follows:
1. The cutting gap is narrow and has good cutting accuracy;
2. Fast cutting speed and small heat affected zone;
3. The laser cutting surface is of good quality, the cutting seam edge is vertical, the cutting edge is smooth, and the welding can be carried out directly without correction;
4. The beam has no inertia and can be cut at high speed;
5. The cutting edge has no mechanical stress, no shearing burrs and chips;
6. Laser cutting can easily cut hard and brittle materials, such as glass, ceramics, PCD composite sheets and semiconductors; It can also cut soft and elastic materials, such as plastic, rubber, etc;
7. There is no tool loss and contact energy loss in laser cutting, so it is unnecessary to replace the tool;
8. With the characteristics of laser, it can realize multi station operation and easy to realize NC automation.
Laser cutting is very versatile and can be used to cut or carve simple to complex workpiece designs.
Laser cutting is controlled by computer program, which saves a lot of manpower.
As the laser cutting machine does not require manual participation except for maintenance and commissioning, the incidence of accidents and injuries will also be reduced.
