Laser cutters can also be identified as laser metal cutters.
The staff must be present to monitor the cutting condition of equipment. If an emergency arises, they will need to press the brake key quickly.
The laser's interlocked, metal enclosure is class 2 safe, so it can be used in any type of workshop, home or office.
Laser cutting is a fabrication process. It consists of a very thin, invisible but focused laser beam that cuts and engraves the substrate material. It can either be used to cut through the material or it can be used to create logos, patterns, designs, and write text or numbers.
It's as easy 1-2-3. Because our laser machines function much like a regular printer, it makes your workflow very simple.
The main component of the beam delivery assembly is the refractive mirror, which is used to direct the beam in the desired direction. The reflector is usually protected by a protective cover, and a clean positive pressure protective gas is introduced to protect the lens from contamination.
Adjust the position of the cutting head. You can start cutting after all preparations are done;
There are certain materials that you should never cut with a laser cutter. These include PVC vinyl, pleather or faux leather, and ABS polymer, which is commonly used in 3D pens and 3D printers. Both emit chlorine gas when cut. You should also not laser-cut polystyrene foam, polyprylene foam or HDPE (a plastic used to make milk bottles), as these will all catch fire. There are many other materials that should not be laser-cut, so always read the instructions carefully.
Laser cutting involves the application of high-power density laser energy. The CNC controller turns on the laser generator, which produces a high-frequency laser pulsed in a continuous manner. This creates a beam having a specified frequency and pulse width. The beam is transmitted and refracted through the optical pathway and focused by an focusing lens group. A tiny, high intensity, light spot is formed on the part's surfaces. The focal points are located near the surface that will be cut. The material melts or evaporates at an immediate high temperature. Each laser pulse will create a small hole in your substrate. The computer numerical control allows the laser head to move and dot in continuous relative to the substrate according to the specified file. This allows for the substrate to be cut to the desired shape.
GSS Machinery highspeed CO2 laser machines can be customized to suit your budget and processing requirements.
GSS Machinery metal- and ceramic laser tube combine the advantages of longer service life and lower costs for recharge, while allowing for better engraving and cutting.
The 2022 laser cutter buyer's guide is a comprehensive resource for CNC machinists, experts and professionals as well as craftsmen, operators, beginners and newbies. It includes information about low-cost and high-quality options.
ST-FC1325LC flatbed fiber laser metal cutting machine combined with CO2 laser cutting system is a type of professional 4x8 hybrid laser cutter to cut metals (steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium, alloy, iron) and nonmetals (wood, plywood, MDF, plastic, acrylic, leather, fabric).
Laser cutting can be used in both small- and large-scale manufacturing.
Laser Cutting Process Drawbacks
When compared to other techniques, laser cutting requires a high power consumption.
The laser beam is extremely delicate to handle.
If the laser beam comes into contact with human workers, it is hazardous.
Laser cutting is still unable to cut thick metals.
Cutting thick materials is difficult.
The less effective laser cutting becomes as the material thickness increases. For example, when it comes to cutting thick sheets of carbon steel, laser cutting may be difficult.
Laser power of 80W. A laser can typically cut up to 10mm acrylic and up to 9mm soft woods.
