Select laser equipment that suits your needs

Laser cutting replaces traditional mechanical blades with invisible beams, offering high precision, rapid cutting, unrestricted pattern design, automated layout for material savings, smooth cut edges, and low processing costs. It will gradually improve upon or replace conventional metal cutting equipment.

       I. The mechanical components of the laser cutting head do not contact the workpiece, preventing surface scratches during operation. Laser cutting offers high speed with smooth, flat edges that typically require no secondary processing. The heat-affected zone is minimal, resulting in low sheet deformation and narrow kerfs (0.1mm–0.3mm).

The cut edges exhibit no mechanical stress or shear burrs. Processing precision is high with excellent repeatability, and the material surface remains undamaged. CNC programming enables cutting of any flat pattern, including large-format sheets without requiring molds, offering economic and time-saving benefits.

II. Current laser cutting equipment applications primarily fall into three major categories:

The first category involves materials for decorative items, advertising, lighting fixtures, kitchenware, thin sheet metal components, electrical cabinets, elevator panels, engineering plates, and high/low voltage switchgear. These materials are typically thin, ranging from 1-5mm thick stainless steel plates, which can be cut using medium-power laser cutters. For such materials, consider purchasing a YAG laser cutter or a 500W fiber laser cutter.

The second category involves cutting plastics (polymers), rubber, wood, paper products, leather, and natural or synthetic organic materials. Since these items are non-metallic and exhibit different laser absorption properties, CO₂ laser cutters are the optimal choice for processing such materials.

The third category consists of low-carbon steel with thicknesses ranging from 8 to 20mm and stainless steel up to 12mm. These materials require high-power laser cutting machines to achieve rapid, instantaneous cutting. Consider purchasing either a high-power fiber laser cutting machine or a high-power CO2 laser cutting machine.

Therefore, when selecting laser equipment, we must not only consider the characteristics of our product materials but also evaluate the performance of the laser equipment itself. Only then can we identify the laser equipment best suited for our industry's products.
