During the work...Metal Laser Cutting MachineWith its advantages of high efficiency and quality, it has gradually replaced traditional processes and become a powerful tool in the metal processing industry. Even though they are all called metal laser cutting machines, the internal configurations differ, leading to significant variations in processing efficiency and results. For metal laser cutting machines, it is crucial to pay attention to the selection of the six core components during purchase.
1Numerical Control System
Control systems areMetal Laser Cutting MachineOur leading operating system primarily controls machine tools, achieving...X、Y、ZAxial movement, while also controlling the laser's output power. Its quality determinesMetal Laser Cutting MachineThe operational stability of the machine, achieved through precise software control, effectively enhances accuracy and cutting performance. Currently, Shanghai Baiju Systems is widely used.
2Fiber Laser
Lasers serve as the "power source" at the heart of laser equipment, much like an engine is for a car.Metal Laser Cutting MachineChina's import market for fiber laser equipment currently includes brands from Germany, known for their high-end components.IPG、ROFIN, United KingdomSPIWith technological advancements, domestic laser brands like Ruike and Chunxin have emerged, gaining market recognition for their high performance-to-cost ratio.
For a long time, our country has relied heavily on imports for laser devices, leading to high prices and extended supply cycles, which kept the prices of high-power metal laser cutting machines sky-high. The emergence of a vibrant array of Chinese fiber laser producers has broken the foreign monopolies in the laser sector and has directly driven down the prices of imported products.
3Cutting Head
The cutting head is the laser output unit of a metal laser cutting machine, consisting of a nozzle, a focusing lens, and a focusing tracking system. The cutting head of the laser cutting machine moves along the set cutting path, but the height of the laser cutting head needs to be adjusted and controlled under different materials, thicknesses, and cutting methods.
4Machine Tool
Metal Laser Cutting MachineHigh stability requirements are placed on machine tools, as high precision and stability in machine tools benefit the accuracy of laser cutting. The mainstream machine tools in the market include gantry, cantilever, and bridge types, each with different functions. For example, bridge-type machine tools are mainly used for material cutting in large-scale manufacturers, and there are also machine types designed for specific fields, such as 3D fiber laser cutting, primarily used in the automotive industry.
5Motor
The motor of a metal laser cutting machine is a core component of the motion system. The motor's performance directly impacts the quality and efficiency of product processing. Currently, the most commonly used motors include stepper motors and servo motors. The appropriate motor is selected based on the industry type and product type of the processing object.
Stepping Motors: Known for their fast start-up speed and sensitive response, they are ideal for engraving processing and low-demand cutting tasks. Priced reasonably. There is a wide variety of stepping motor brands with varying performance.
Servo Motors: Fast motion speed, smooth operation, high load capacity, and stable performance; products processed have smooth edges and fast cutting speeds; high in price, suitable for industries and products with high processing requirements.
6Laser Lens
High-frequency usage is seen in laser lenses within the entire fiber laser cutting equipment. Many optical devices contain laser lenses, with different lenses serving various functions, including full-reflective lenses, semi-reflective lenses, focusing lenses, and so on.
The quality of the lens directly affects the output power of the laser and also influences the overall performance of the machine. Similarly, lenses are categorized into domestic and imported varieties. While domestic lenses have a shorter lifespan and inferior cutting quality compared to imported ones, they are significantly cheaper.
