Laser cutting is a technological revolution in sheet metal processing

Fiber laser cutting is a technological revolution in sheet metal processing and a “machining center” in sheet metal processing. The laser cutting process has the advantages of flexibility and flexibility. In response to the problems of traditional sheet metal cutting at this stage, the demand for laser cutting is also increasing.

Traditional sheet metal cutting equipment and process

Conventional sheet metal processing techniques are: shear-punch-bending-welding process or flame plasma cutting-bending-welding process. In the face of multiple varieties, small batches, customized, high quality, short delivery orders, it has obvious shortcomings:

First of all, the shearing machine can only  use for sheet metal processing which only needs straight cutting.

Secondly, the punching machine has restrictions on the cutting of steel plates with a thickness of 1.5mm or more, and the surface quality is not good, the cost is high, the noise is large, and it is not environmentally friendly;

Again, flame cutting is the original traditional cutting method, which has large thermal deformation, wide slit, waste material, and slow processing speed.

Finally, the high-pressure water cutting process is slow, resulting in serious pollution and high cost.

New sheet metal cutting equipment and process – laser cutting

Laser cutting is a technological revolution in sheet metal processing and a “machining center” in sheet metal processing. The laser cutting process has the advantages of flexibility and flexibility. In response to the problems of traditional sheet metal cutting at this stage, the demand for laser cutting is also increasing.

The advantages of the new sheet metal cutting process are:

Firstly, the degree of flexibility of laser cutting is high. The cutting speed is fast, the production efficiency is high, and the production cycle is short.

Secondly, the slit is narrow, the cutting quality is good, the degree of automation is high, the operation is simple, the labor intensity is low, and there is no pollution;

Thirdly, it can realize automatic cutting and nesting of cutting, improve material utilization, no tool wear and good material adaptability;

Fourth, the production cost is low and the economic benefits are good.

Most of the sheet metal processing is for large and medium-sized enterprises. The user products are different, the requirements are high, and the goods are urgent. Therefore, using high-power, large-format laser cutting machine. The power is large, the cutting ability is improve, and the cutting efficiency is also improve;the size is large, the material utilization rate is high.
