What is a laser cutting machine？

Laser cutting is to focus the laser emitted from the laser into a high-power density laser beam through the optical path system. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece to make the workpiece reach the melting point or boiling point. At the same time, the high-pressure gas coaxial with the laser beam will blow the molten or vaporized metal away. With the movement of the relative position of the beam and the workpiece, the material will eventually form a cutting seam to achieve the purpose of cutting.

The laser cutting process replaces the traditional mechanical knife with an invisible beam. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to cutting pattern limitation, automatic typesetting, material saving, smooth cutting, and low processing cost. It will gradually improve or replace the traditional metal-cutting process equipment. The mechanical part of the laser cutter head has no contact with the work and will not scratch the working surface during the work; The laser cutting speed is fast, the cut is smooth and flat, and generally, no subsequent processing is required; The cutting heat affected zone is small, the plate deformation is small, and the cutting seam is narrow (0.1mm~0.3mm); The notch is free of mechanical stress and shear burr; High machining accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the material surface; NC programming, can process any plan, can cut the whole plate with a large size, without opening the mold, which is economical and time-saving.

As a new tool, laser equipment is increasingly used in various industries, including laser cutting machines, laser engraving machines, laser marking machines, laser welding machines, etc.
