How to choose the right cutting method

How to choose the right cutting method

In the field of modern industrial manufacturing, cutting is one of the most widely use and widely used basic processes.

Cutting methods include punching, shearing, flame cutting, electric discharge machining, water cutting, plasma cutting, and laser cutting.

Various cutting methods have their own advantages, but also have certain limitations.

So how to choose the right cutting method?

The efficiency and quality of cutting will directly affect the efficiency and quality of production.

How to choose the right cutting equipment should pay attention to the following factors:

1. Cutting material type, thickness, format size.

2. The size of the cutting volume and the requirements for the cutting speed.

3. Requirements for cutting accuracy, requirements for material deformation, and size of secondary processing.

4. Is it possible to use optimize nesting software to improve material utilization?

5. Equipment one-time investment, maintenance cost, whether additional investment such as molds are need, comprehensive comparison of equipment investment and economic benefits

Compared with traditional processing equipment, laser cutting machine has the characteristics and advantages: narrow slit, small deformation, high precision, fast speed and high efficiency.

Firstly, the laser light energy is convert into amazing heat energy and kept in a very small area, so laser cutting can provide: narrow straight edge slits;

Secondly,the smallest heat-affected zone adjacent to the cut edge; minimal local deformation.

Thirdly,The laser beam does not add any force to the workpiece, it is a non-contact cutting tool, so the workpiece has no mechanical deformation;

there is no tool wear, and there is no question of tool replacement;

the cutting material does not need to consider its hardness,so cutting ability is not affect by the hardness of the material being cut, and any hardness material can be cut.

The laser beam has strong controllability, high adaptability and flexibility, so it is convenient to combine with automation equipment, and it is easy to automate the cutting process;

because there is no restriction on the cutting workpiece, the laser beam has unlimit profiling cutting capabilities.
