Processing ability: Both plasma cutting and laser cutting belong to thermal cutting, and plasma is more suitable for thick plates with a thickness of over 6mm and low accuracy requirements. However, with the development of laser cutting machines, in recent years, high power laser cutting machines have emerged endlessly, and the current cutting thickness has exceeded 100mm.
Processing effect: Plasma cutting machines use high temperature and high heat plasma arcs to cut and melt metal. The biggest disadvantages are large cutting seams, rough and unsmooth cutting ends, and low accuracy. The laser cutting machine can achieve non-contact cutting, with very small cutting seams, high accuracy, small heat affected areas, smooth and burr-free cutting sections, and no need for subsequent processing, saving processing and labor costs.
Usage cost: The product cut by the laser cutting machine does not require secondary processing and polishing. Later use costs and labor costs have been significantly reduced.
Plasma laser cutting machines are generally used for rough machining such as machinery.
Laser cutting machines are mostly used in high-precision sheet metal processing, aerospace, intelligent equipment, engineering machinery, transportation tools, electrical equipment and other industries. With the rapid development of industrialization, the accuracy requirements for metal workpiece cutting in various fields are increasingly increasing, and the advantages of laser cutting machines are becoming increasingly evident, and they are also being applied in more industries.
