How to choose the right laser cutting machine

1. Cut thickness

When cutting at full power, the cutting head is easy to heat up, resulting in thermal deformation effect, resulting in lens deformation. The deformation of the lens will cause the focus to shift, which will adversely affect the machining performance. For example, although a 3000W power laser cutting machine can theoretically cut 16mm thick sheets, achieving continuous and stable batch cutting is far from easy. Therefore, when selecting the cutting power, we need to fully take into account the needs of batch cutting, reserve enough power margin for the equipment, and it is usually recommended to reserve 20%-25% margin to ensure the stability and efficiency of the cutting process.

2. Power selection

When choosing the power of the laser cutting machine, you should fully consider your actual needs. Given the rapid update of laser technology, high-power equipment purchased today may face the problem of technological backwardness in the future. In addition, with the advancement of technology, there may be significant differences in energy consumption, efficiency and price of cutting machines with the same power. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the purchase and choose the power that best suits the current and future needs for a period of time. At the same time, considering the trend that the price may decline after the large-scale production of the product, the choice of power should pay more attention to the cost performance.

3. Accessories selection

Laser: It is recommended to choose brands with a wide audience and many users, such as Reeco and Chuangxin, to ensure the stability of the equipment and the reliability of after-sales service; System: Select the system according to the application requirements, and pay attention to the application and operation versatility of the system. For most products, the Burchu system is a good choice; For customized products, you can choose the manufacturer's special system; Cutting head: small power equipment can choose the cutting head matched with the system, high-power equipment if the pursuit of stability, foreign trade general or customized system, you can consider Prece cutting head, if only for the domestic market, Bochu system with black gold cutting head is preferred.
