Advantages And Precautions For Cutting Stainless Steel With Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

Fiber laser cutting machine is a device that uses high-energy-density laser beams to cut materials. It has the advantages of high speed, high precision, high efficiency, and low cost. Fiber laser cutting machines can cut stainless steel and other metal materials and are widely used in machinery, electronics, automobiles, aviation, medical, and other fields. This article will introduce the advantages and precautions of fiber laser cutting machine for cutting stainless steel.

Stainless steel is a metal material with good corrosion resistance and aesthetics. It is often used in construction, decoration, kitchenware, medical equipment, and other fields. Traditional cutting methods, such as flame cutting, plasma cutting, water jet cutting, etc., have shortcomings such as slow cutting speed, low precision, large heat-affected zone, and poor surface quality. The fiber laser cutting machine can effectively solve these problems. Its main advantages are:

1. High speed: The cutting speed of fiber laser cutting machine is several times or even dozens of times that of traditional methods, which can greatly improve production efficiency and save time.

2. High precision: The positioning accuracy of the fiber laser cutting machine can reach 0.05mm, and the repeated positioning accuracy can reach 0.03mm, which can achieve fine cutting of stainless steel.

3. High efficiency: The energy conversion efficiency of fiber laser cutting machines is as high as 30%, which saves a lot of energy consumption and costs than traditional methods.

4. Low cost: The operating cost of the fiber laser cutting machine is low, there is no need to consume wearing parts such as gas and electrodes, the maintenance cost is low, and the service life is long.

5. High quality: The cut of the fiber laser cutting machine is flat, smooth and burr-free, requiring no subsequent processing, maintaining the original texture and beauty of stainless steel.

Although fiber laser cutting machines have many advantages, some things need to be paid attention to during use to ensure cutting results and safety. Here are some common considerations:

1. Choose appropriate parameters:

According to the thickness, material, surface condition, and other factors of stainless steel, appropriate laser power, speed, air pressure, focus position, and other parameters are selected to avoid overburning, cracks, splashing, and other phenomena.

2. Select the appropriate auxiliary gas:

Auxiliary gas is a gas used to cool and clean the material surface during the cutting process. Nitrogen, oxygen, and air are commonly used. Generally speaking, using nitrogen can ensure that the stainless steel surface is not oxidized and improve cutting quality, but the cost is higher; using oxygen can increase the cutting speed, but it will cause oxidation of the stainless steel surface and affect the appearance; using air can reduce costs, but the cutting quality and The speed will be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate auxiliary gas according to the use and requirements of stainless steel.

3. Keep the cutting head clean:

The cutting head is the core component of the fiber laser cutting machine. Its surface is easily contaminated by dust, smoke, spatter, etc. generated during the cutting process, which affects the output and focus of the laser. Therefore, the cutting head needs to be cleaned and inspected regularly to keep it clean and intact.

4. Follow safety regulations:

Fiber laser cutting machine is a high-energy equipment, and its laser beam has strong penetrating power and thermal effect. If not operated properly, it may cause personal injury or equipment damage. Therefore, the following safety regulations need to be observed:

1) Before operation, you should wear protective clothing, gloves, glasses, and other protective equipment to avoid direct contact with the laser beam or reflected light.

2) During the operation, attention should be paid to observing the cutting status, and adjusting parameters or stopping cutting in time to avoid abnormal situations.

3) After operation, the power supply, air source, water source, and other switches should be turned off, and debris around the cutting area and equipment should be cleaned to keep the working environment clean and safe.
