Simple principle of laser cutting machine

- 2023-02-18-

The laser cutting machine focuses the laser emitted by the laser into a high power density laser beam through the optical path system. The laser beam is irradiated on 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 away the molten or vaporized metal. With the movement of the relative position of the beam and the workpiece, the material will eventually form a slit to achieve the purpose of cutting.



The laser cutting process replaces the traditional mechanical knife with invisible beam, which has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting speed, no limitation of cutting pattern, automatic typesetting, material saving, smooth cut, low processing cost, etc. Gradually improve or replace the traditional metal cutting equipment.





The mechanical part of the laser cutter head has no contact with the workpiece and will not scratch the surface of the workpiece when working; 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; The notch shall be free of mechanical stress and shear burr; High machining accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the material surface; CNC programming can handle any plan.
