What benefits does a good cutting process bring to laser cutting machine users?

To achieve high-quality and efficient cutting with a laser cutting machine, factors beyond the machine's inherent quality also play a crucial role—namely, the cutting process itself. Currently, laser engineers have developed numerous cutting techniques aimed at providing customers with highly efficient and cost-effective fiber laser cutting machines. Some laser companies have even specialized in creating laser processes tailored to their specific equipment, ensuring their machines capture a larger market share and generate better profits.

Let's briefly explore the benefits of advanced cutting techniques using the example of laser co-edge cutting technology!

A company specializing in producing parts with straight contours and identical angles initially used laser cutters without considering the need for common edge cutting technology. During an industrial upgrade, they replaced their equipment and selected a fiber laser cutter from TOL Laser after comparison. The choice was driven by TOL's equipment featuring common edge cutting capability, which not only met daily production demands but also saved significant time.

Laser common-edge cutting refers to the process where adjacent parts with straight, identical-angle contours can be combined into a single straight line. This allows the laser equipment to achieve the desired result with just one pass (regardless of whether the part's outline is rectangular). This technique reduces cutting length, significantly boosting processing efficiency. It not only saves cutting time but also minimizes the number of piercing operations, delivering highly noticeable benefits.

With the continuous advancement of laser technology, an increasing number of laser processes are being developed and applied in practical scenarios. This integration of equipment and process achieves a dual synergy, driving the intelligent upgrade of the manufacturing industry. Much like the masters in martial arts novels, it requires attaining the realm of “man and sword as one” to achieve unparalleled mastery.
