Analysis of the influence of different powers of fiber laser cutting machine on cutting quality

With the continuous development of fiber laser cutting machine, the application of fiber laser cutting machine is not only limited to the industrial field, more and more industries are also beginning to be widely used, which has played a huge role in promoting the development of the laser industry. . Many manufacturers of laser cutting machines are constantly pursuing breakthroughs in the improvement of power levels in development, and there is a phenomenon of competition, which creates an illusion for customers that as long as the power level is particularly high, the product quality level is particularly high. In fact, this idea is wrong.
Nowadays, the needs of users determine the development and production of products. When customers choose fiber laser cutting machines, they not only value which company has made a higher power laser cutting machine, but also value what your laser cutting machine produces. Effective. In other words, if a user can cut high-quality workpieces with a 1000W fiber laser cutting machine, and the effect of using 2000W is not as good as it is, then the 2000W fiber laser cutting machine is meaningless to the user. Let’s follow the analysis of Jinyin Laser from the following five aspects, and the influence of different powers on cutting quality when purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine.

 1. Laser output power
The higher the output power of the fiber laser cutting machine, the higher the thickness of the material that can be cut, and the better the quality of the corresponding cutting. Therefore, the user must know the thickness and type of the material in the early purchase process to avoid being unable to cut or The desired cutting quality cannot be obtained. In addition, the higher the degree of agreement between the laser cutting pattern and the material, the better the cutting quality. .

 2. Focus of laser cutting
This is a very common problem, or that sentence, only when the focus position is accurate, can you cut a particularly good-quality product.

 3. Material surface roughness
We all know that the flexible processing method of fiber laser cutting is good, and it is not limited by the shape of the workpiece, but it is limited by the surface roughness and cannot achieve the perfect cutting effect. The smoother the surface of the material, the better the quality of the cutting. Therefore, the stability of the machine tool is also very important. It is necessary to ensure the working environment of laser cutting.

 4. Cutting speed
With a 1000 watt fiber laser cutting machine, for carbon steel materials below 10mm, when the thickness of the carbon steel is less than 2mm, the cutting speed can be as high as 8 meters per minute. When the thickness of the carbon steel is 6mm, the cutting speed is about 1.6 meters per minute. , And when the thickness of carbon steel is 10mm, the cutting speed is about 0.6 meters-0.7 meters per minute.
2000 watt fiber laser cutting machine, when the thickness of carbon steel is 1mm, the cutting speed is particularly high up to 10 meters per minute, when the thickness of carbon steel is 6mm, the cutting speed is about 2 meters per minute, and when the thickness of carbon steel is 10mm, The cutting speed is about 1 meter per minute.

 5. Thickness of metal material
When the thickness of the carbon steel material is less than 2mm, manufacturers that attach great importance to cutting speed can consider using a 2000w fiber laser cutting machine, but the 2000w machine is bound to be higher than 1000w in terms of equipment price and operating cost. When the carbon steel material is larger than 2mm, the 2000w machine is not much faster than the 1000w cutting speed. Therefore, in a comprehensive comparison, the 1000w fiber laser cutting machine is more cost-effective than the 2000w fiber laser cutting machine.
