We are a professional laser cutting machine manufacturer with over 10 years of industry experience. Today, we would like to introduce to you the buying guide of laser cutting machine:
As an important tool in modern manufacturing, laser cutting machine is widely used in metal processing, advertising production, auto parts production and other fields. In the face of a wide variety of equipment on the market, how to choose a laser cutting machine that suits your needs requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as technical parameters, use scenarios and long-term costs. The following will provide advice on purchasing from five key dimensions.
1, Clear processing requirements
Selection needs to first determine the main processing materials and their thickness range. Common metal materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy laser requirements vary. For the thickness of 6mm below the thin plate processing, fiber laser has obvious advantages; if you often need to cut more than 10mm thick plate, you should consider higher power CO₂ laser. At the same time need to estimate the average daily workload, low load users can choose economical equipment, while continuous production enterprises need industrial-grade models.
2, Evaluation of core components
The laser generator is the core component of the equipment, and its performance directly affects the cutting quality and service life. The current mainstream fiber laser in energy efficiency and maintenance costs are excellent. Optical system, need to pay attention to the focusing mirror material and protection design, high-quality lenses can significantly reduce the long-term cost of use. Motion control system is recommended to choose a well-known brand of servo system, which is related to processing accuracy and equipment stability.
3, The choice of equipment specifications
Workbench size should be determined according to commonly used material specifications, generally recommended than the maximum length and width of the processed material major out of 300mm. Laser power is not the higher the better, 1000W-2000W power band suitable for most small and medium-sized processing needs. Cutting accuracy, common industrial applications 0.1mm repeatability has been able to meet the requirements of precision processing requires 0.05mm or less equipment.
4, Safety and environmental considerations
The equipment must meet the national safety standards for laser products, and the guard should have interlocking safety devices. Smoke exhaust system to meet local environmental requirements, for stainless steel and other special materials cutting, need to be equipped with special filtering equipment. Noise control should not be ignored, the operating noise of high-quality equipment should be controlled below 75 dB.
5, After-sales service and cost
The technical support capability of the supplier is crucial, including response speed, spare parts stock and maintenance team professionalism. It is recommended to choose the brand with service outlets in the local area. In the cost calculation, in addition to the price of equipment, it is also necessary to consider the long-term use of electricity consumption, auxiliary gases, replacement of wearing parts and other costs.
Selection of laser cutting machine is a systematic project, need to balance multiple factors such as performance, price and service. It is recommended to inspect the operation of the equipment on the spot and ask the supplier to provide sample test cutting service. By comprehensively evaluating the performance of the equipment in the actual production environment, you can make the optimal choice to ensure that the return on investment is maximized.
