How to choose a laser cutting machine？

    There are many manufacturers of laser cutting machines in the current market. Different manufacturers have different experience and qualifications in the industry. There are also many middlemen who do not have production and transfer goods around, so that the customer's after-sales quality cannot be guaranteed. So how to choose a laser cutting machine?

    1. The first thing to consider is the material of the product. In the current market, it is generally divided into two types: metal materials and non-metal materials. When purchasing a machine, the machine should be purchased according to the cutting material. According to different material requirements, there are two models : CO2 laser cutting machine and fiber laser cutting machine. The CO2 laser cutter machine is mainly used to cut non-metallic materials with a wavelength of about 10600nm. The fiber laser cut machine is mainly used in the metal industry, and the wavelength of the fiber is between 1060~1070nm.

    2. Proofing. Proofing is very important, so you need to find a professional to make on-site proofing.

    When proofing, it is mainly necessary to see the smooth surface of the cutting surface and whether there are burrs on the cutting surface; the laser cutting machine has some burrs when cutting, which is mainly determined by the cutting thickness and the use of gas. Nitrogen is the best, oxygen is the second, and air is the worst. Fiber laser cutters have minimal or no burrs, very smooth cutting surfaces, and fast speeds.

    After the cutting is completed, it mainly depends on whether the material is deformed. In comparison, a good laser cutting machine has very little deformation of the material.

    3. Look at the core components

    The core parts of laser cutting are mainly laser tube and laser heads. The general difference is imported tube or domestic tube. Imported lasers generally use more IPGs, and domestic ones are generally more of Raycus. At the same time, also pay attention to other accessories of the laser cutting machine, such as motor, guide rail, bed and so on.

    4. Look at the manufacturer and after-sales

    Any piece of equipment will be damaged to varying degrees during use, which is unavoidable. So how to repair after damage, the cost of maintenance is also very important. Therefore, when purchasing, it is necessary to understand the after-sales service of the enterprise through various channels, such as whether the maintenance fee is reasonable and so on.
