At present, the domestic metal laser cutting machine is in the processing and development stage. The immaturity of many technologies has led to the backwardness of the laser cutting machine market abroad. The application of metal laser cutting machine in many fields is still a blank. In order to open a new market as soon as possible, we must strive to develop and innovate according to customer needs, and we should expand in the following directions.
1. Large metal laser cutting machine for thick plate cutting and large size workpiece cutting With the increase of laser power available for laser cutting, laser cutting is developing from sheet metal processing of light industrial sheet metal to focusing on industrial thick plate cutting.
2. In order to improve productivity and save labor, laser cutting is developing towards laser cutting unit (FMC), unmanned and automatic. The development of this cell automation system must rely on the automatic control of cash, network control technology and computer aided production management system technology. A variety of laser cutting units have been available to the market abroad, and an unmanned cutting production line consisting of six large metal laser cutting machines is operating in the factory.
3. Three dimensional solid multi axis CNC laser cutting machine, in order to meet the needs of solid workpiece cutting in automobile, aviation and other industries, a variety of five axis or six axis three-dimensional laser cutting machines have been developed. The number of CNC axes reaches nine, with fast processing speed and high precision. In the automobile production line of advanced countries, laser cutting robots are used more and more. At present, the three-dimensional laser cutting machine is developing towards the direction of high efficiency, high precision, multi-function and high adaptability, and its application scope will be larger and larger.
4. High speed and high precision laser cutting machine has created favorable conditions for high speed and high precision laser cutting equipment due to the improvement of high-power laser beam mode and the application of 32-bit microcomputer.
5. Compact and combined integrated CNC laser cutting machine With the reduction and increase of power mentioned by the laser and the continuous improvement of auxiliary devices, there is a tight combination of laser, power supply, host, control system and cooling water circulating device to form a complete set of compact laser cutting machine with small floor area and complete functions. In addition, laser cutting technology is being combined with laser processing technologies such as laser welding and laser surface quenching to develop one machine for multiple purposes and further improve the utilization rate of equipment.
