How thick metal can laser cutting machine cut?

Laser cutting machine cutting thickness different power? Laser cutting machine can cut stainless steel, copper, aluminum, galvanized sheet, carbon steel, etc. The advantage of the laser cutting machine is that it can be formed once without secondary processing. The laser cutting machine has high configuration and good performance, so the price is also high. Laser cutting machine is an indispensable equipment for enterprises. The laser cutting machine has said a lot. Finally, let's talk about the "cutting thickness of laser cutting machine with different powers"



Laser cutting uses high power density laser beam to irradiate the material to be cut, so that the material can be rapidly heated to the evaporation temperature and evaporated into holes. When the light beam moves towards the material, the hole becomes continuously narrow (for example, about 0.1 mm). Cut joints to complete material cutting. The following is a brief description of the cutting thickness of different laser cutting machines
Cutting thickness of different power laser cutting machine?
1. The maximum thickness of 500W laser cutting machine for cutting different materials: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 6mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 3mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 2mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 2mm;
2. The maximum thickness of different materials cut by 1000W laser cutting machine: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 10mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 5mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 3mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 3mm;
3. The maximum thickness of 2000W laser cutting machine for cutting different materials: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 16mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 8mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 5mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 5mm;
4. The maximum thickness of 3000W laser cutting machine for cutting different materials: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 20mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 10mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 8mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 8mm;
5. The maximum dimension of 4500W laser cutting stainless steel is 20mm, but the quality of the cutting surface above 12mm cannot be guaranteed, and the cutting surface below 12mm is absolutely bright. The cutting capacity of 6000W will be better, but the price will also be higher.
If the cutting accuracy is poor, how to solve it?
1. The cutting material thickness exceeds the standard. Generally, the metal laser cutting machine can cut plates with a thickness of less than 12. The thinner the plate, the easier the cutting and the better the quality. If the plate is too thick, it is more difficult for the laser cutting machine to cut, to ensure that the processing accuracy is not accurate when cutting, so determine the plate thickness coefficient
2. The laser output power does not meet the standard. When the laser cutting machine is running and debugging, it must ensure that the laser output power reaches the standard. Generally, the higher the laser output power is, the better the cutting quality is on the same thickness plate
3. Roughness of the slice. Generally speaking, the flatter the surface of the cutting material, the better the cutting quality
4. The focus position is not accurate. If the focus of the laser cutting machine is not aligned, it will directly affect the cutting accuracy, so it should be calibrated before operation
Pay attention to the above points to improve the cutting quality of the laser cutting machine and ensure that the equipment is in the best state!
