Select the right gas based on your cutting requirements and verify that the jet is in good shape.
Select the appropriate gas to meet your cutting needs. Also, make sure that you check the jet's condition.
Laser cutters are used for many purposes including customization, digital printing, medical technology and education.
If you are a DIYer and have an idea for a laser cutter, it is important to first understand the structure.
Pay attention to the main parts when shopping for laser generators, cutting heads, servomotors and guide rails. These parts will have an effect on the cutting speed of the machine and its accuracy.
If we talk about the innovations in technology, we can’t go on without mentioning laser technology. The way energy has been harnessed from the laser has been phenomenal. The key area where the laser is making its presence known is the laser cutting machine.
First of all, you need to consider some factors such as the scale of your business, what materials you need to cut, how thick the materials are, and then confirm the power supply and the size of the workbench according to your own needs. Currently, the laser powers in the market range from 80 watts to 40,000 watts, and the table size can be customized according to your requirements.
Adjust the position on the cutting head. After all preparations are completed, you may start cutting.
Different laser powers can be used to cut different projects of different thickness. The general rule is to use a higher power laser for thicker parts. Make sure you make the right choice based on your needs.
Adjust the system parameters to cut the material according to its thickness and material.
After purchasing the parts and accessories, you will need to assemble and troubleshoot the software and hardware. The machine's performance and quality are directly affected by the material used to cut, the laser generator, the gas used, the air pressure, and the parameters set. Be sure to set the parameters in accordance with your cutting process. An improper setting or operation of parameters can lead to reduced cutting effects, damage or personal injury to the machine or parts, and even reduction in cutting power.
Due to the thin incision of the fiber laser, the gas consumption is large (especially when cutting with nitrogen).
All-in-one sheet metal and tube laser cutters for sale from $42,500 to $116,000 for dual-purpose commercial use with automotion.
First, we should check all the connections of the machine (including power supply, PC and exhaust system) are correct and inserted correctly. Visually check the condition of the machine. Ensure that all mechanisms move freely, and check that there is no material under the processing table. Ensure that the work area and optical components are clean, and clean if necessary. For more information on this issue, please read the "General Maintenance" section of the operation manual. Check the exhaust system and start the cooling system if necessary. Check whether the filter and activated carbon of the exhaust system are installed in accordance with the instructions. After checking, close the protective cover.
Laser cutters can cut all types of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and nonferrous metals.
Laser cutting is classified into three types: fusion cutting, flame cutting, and remote cutting. An inert gas (typically nitrogen) is used in fusion cutting to expel molten material from the kerf. Nitrogen gas does not exothermically react with molten material and thus contributes no energy to the system.
Laser power of 80W. A laser can typically cut up to 10mm acrylic and up to 9mm soft woods.
