Metal Laser Cutting Machine

How to Choose The Right Metal Laser Cutting Machine According to Your Needs?

Laser cutting is a processing method that uses high-energy-density laser beams to cut metal materials. It has the advantages of fast cutting speed, high cutting quality, high cutting accuracy, and low cutting cost. According to the different cutting materials, laser cutting machines can be divided into sheet laser cutting machines and pipe laser cutting machines, as well as sheet and tube integrated laser cutting machines that can cut sheets and pipes at the same time. So, how should we choose the right laser cutting machine according to our needs? This article will analyze the following aspects:

1. Type and quantity of cutting materials

We have to consider the type and quantity of our cutting materials. If we only need to cut sheets, then the sheet laser cutting machine is the most suitable choice. It can meet the cutting requirements of metal sheets of various materials, and the cutting effect is no exception. If we only need to cut pipes, then the pipe laser cutting machine is the most suitable choice. It can cut all kinds of round pipes, square pipes, rectangular pipes, flat pipes, U-shaped pipes special-shaped pipes, etc., while cutting Performs cutting processes such as drilling, beveling, and micro-joining. If we need to cut both sheets and pipes, then the sheet-tube integrated laser cutting machine is the most suitable choice. It can achieve both plate processing and pipe processing in one machine. It is easy to operate and saves space and cost.

2. Cut the shape and size of the material

We have to consider the shape and size of the material we are cutting. If our cutting material is a regular flat sheet, then the sheet laser cutting machine can easily handle it, and its cutting range and cutting accuracy can meet our requirements. If our cutting material is regular pipe fittings, then the pipe laser cutting machine can easily handle it, and its cutting range and cutting accuracy can meet our requirements. If our cutting materials are irregular sheets or pipes, then the sheet and tube-integrated laser cutting machine has an advantage. It can flexibly cut according to different material shapes and sizes, whether it is cutting complex patterns or cutting in different directions. , cylindrical intersecting holes of different diameters can be realized.

3. Process requirements and difficulty of cutting materials

We have to consider the process requirements and difficulty of our cutting materials. If the process requirements of our cutting materials are low and only simple cutting is required, then both the sheet laser cutting machine and the pipe laser cutting machine can do the job, and their cutting effects can meet our expectations. If our cutting materials have high process requirements and require fine cutting, then the pipe laser cutting machine has the advantage. It can cut multiple cylindrical intersecting holes with different directions and diameters on the main pipe to meet the needs of the branch pipe axis and the main pipe axis. The conditions for the vertical intersection of eccentricity and non-eccentricity can also be achieved by cutting the end of the intersection line of the cylinder at the end of the branch pipe to meet the conditions of eccentric and non-eccentric vertical and oblique intersection between the branch pipe axis and the main pipe axis. It can also cut round pipes and square pipe fittings. The beveled end surface at the end can cut various hole shapes on round tubes and square tubes to meet various processing needs.

4. Performance and price of cutting equipment

We have to consider the performance and price of our cutting equipment. If our cutting equipment has low-performance requirements and only needs to meet basic cutting functions, then both sheet laser cutting machines and pipe laser cutting machines can be chosen. Their prices are relatively low and can save our investment costs. If our cutting equipment has high-performance requirements and needs to meet high-speed, high-precision, and high-stability cutting functions, then the plate-tube integrated laser cutting machine has the advantage. It uses advanced brand fiber lasers and electronic components to ensure that the equipment The stability of the machine provides dual cutting functions for sheets and pipes. The drawer-type collection tray facilitates the collection and cleaning of debris and workpieces. It can cut stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized sheets, aluminum sheets, copper, and brass at high speed and with high precision. And other metal materials, compared with general fiber laser cutting, machine loss can be minimized.

To sum up, we should comprehensively consider choosing a suitable laser cutting machine based on factors such as the type and quantity, shape and size of our cutting materials, process requirements, and difficulty, performance, and price of cutting equipment. Generally speaking, if we only need to cut sheets or pipes, then choose a professional sheet laser cutting machine or pipe laser cutting machine. If we need to cut both sheets and pipes, then choose a sheet and tube integrated laser cutting machine. It is more suitable because it can achieve multiple uses in one machine, improve production efficiency and reduce costs. It is an ideal choice for users who need to perform dual cutting of sheets and pipes. DXTECH fiber laser cutting machine is a good choice for customers with metal processing needs.
