For new customers of laser pipe cutting machine, they will first look at the proofing of the equipment when purchasing. The proofing of the equipment depends not only on the cutting speed of the equipment, but also on the cutting quality of the sample. And which indicators reflect the cutting quality of the laser cutting machine? Next, I will list some points for you.

Roughness

For the general laser cutting head, the section cut by laser cutting will form vertical lines, and the deeper the depth of the line, the rougher the cut surface, and the shallower the cut surface, the smoother the cut section. Roughness affects not only the appearance of the edge, but also the friction characteristics of the cut material. In most cases, low roughness is required, so the shallower the texture, the smoother the cutting surface, and the higher the cutting quality.

Verticality

If the thickness of the material exceeds 10mm, the perpendicularity becomes even more important, because the laser focus is more scattered the further away from the laser head. Depending on where the focal point is, the cut widens toward the top or bottom, and the edges of the cut are slightly off, so the more vertical the edge, the higher the quality of the cut.

Cutting width

Generally speaking, the width of the cut does not affect the quality of the cut. The width of the cut only has an effect on the inside of the cut part if a particularly precise pattern is required. Because the cutting width affects the minimum inner diameter of the material to be cut, when the thickness of the pipe increases, the width of the cut also increases. Therefore, in order to ensure the same accuracy, no matter how large the incision width of the pipe is, the pipe must be in a stable state in the processing area of the laser cutting machine.

Textures and Burrs

When cutting thicker tubes at high speed, the molten metal does not appear in the cut below, but instead spews out behind the laser beam. Therefore, twisted and twisted cutting lines will be formed, and the lines will closely follow the movement of the laser beam. A better way to solve this problem is to reduce the feed rate at the end of the cutting process.

The number of burrs in the incision is a very important factor in judging the quality of laser cutting. Because removing the burr requires extra work, that is, secondary processing, the severity and magnitude of the burr can directly reflect the cutting quality of the laser cutting machine.
