The main characteristics of laser cutting

Laser cutting narrow slits, deformation of the workpiece the laser beam focused into a small spot,

the focal point to achieve high power density. Then heat is far more than the input beam reflective

material, or a conductive diffusion part, the vaporized material is quickly heated to the extent, and

evaporated to form holes. As the beam moves linearly relative to the material, so that holes are

formed continuously through a narrow slit. Trimming the heat has little effect, basically no

deformation of the workpiece. Cutting process is also added with the cut material with suitable

auxiliary vapor. When steel cutting oxygen use as an auxiliary vapor with molten metal to produce

an exothermic chemical reaction of oxidation of the material, while helping blown away by

cutting slits in the slag.

Cutting a class of plastics with compressed polypropylene, cotton, paper, flammable material

cutting use of inert vapor. Auxiliary vapor into the nozzle cooling focusing lens can prevent smoke

pollution into the lens mount lens and cause the lens to overheat. Most organic and inorganic

materials can be cut with a laser. In industrial manufacturing systems occupy a heavy load of

metal processing industry, many metal materials, no matter what kind of hardness, can be cut

without distortion. Of course, materials of high reflectivity, such as gold, silver, copper and

aluminum, which is a good heat conductor, whereby the laser cutting is very difficult, or even cut.

Laser cutting burr, wrinkles, high precision, better than plasma cutting. For many mechanical and

electrical manufacturing industry, due to modern laser cutting process control computer system

can be easily cut workpieces of different shapes and sizes, it is often more to be preferred than

punching, molding process; despite its processing speed is also slower than the punch, But it did

not die consumption, no repair mold, while also saving time change the mold, thus saving

processing costs, reduce production costs, so consider a more cost-effective overall.
