The objects of laser cutting machine include stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum plate, silver, copper, titanium and other metal materials.
For different metal materials, the cutting thickness of different power laser cutting machines has a great relationship with the cutting materials. 1000 watts, 2000 Watts… How thick can laser cutting machines with various powers cut?
Generally speaking, the thickness limits of various materials cut by different laser cutting machine powers are as follows:
(for reference only, the actual cutting capacity is also related to the quality of the cutting machine, cutting environment, auxiliary gas, cutting speed and other factors.)
- The maximum cutting thickness of different materials with 500W fiber laser cutting machine: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 6mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 3mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 2mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 2mm;
- 1000W fiber laser cutting machine cutting different materials maximum thickness: carbon steel maximum thickness 10mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 5mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 3mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 3mm;
- 2000W fiber laser cutting machine maximum thickness of different materials: carbon steel maximum thickness 16mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 8mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 5mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 5mm;
- 3000W fiber laser cutting machine maximum cutting thickness of different materials: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 20mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 10mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 8mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 8mm;
- 4500W laser cutting stainless steel is up to 20mm, but the quality of the cutting surface above 12mm is not guaranteed, and the cutting surface below 12mm is definitely bright. The cutting capacity of 6000W will be better, but the price is also higher.
In the process of practical application, the cutting ability of the fiber laser cutting machine is also related to the quality of the cutting machine, the type of laser, the cutting environment, the cutting speed and other factors. The use of auxiliary gas can also improve the cutting ability, so there is no absolute standard to judge the cutting thickness. For example, the cutting of carbon steel mainly depends on oxygen combustion, and the cutting of stainless steel mainly depends on power. Generally, the 1000W fiber laser cutting machine can cut carbon steel plates of about 10mm, and stainless steel plates are slightly difficult to cut. If the cutting thickness is to be increased, it is necessary to sacrifice the edge effect and speed.
