How to choose a good laser cutting machine?

In recent years, laser cutting has been widely used in sheet metal processing, agricultural machinery, rail transit and other industries. When you want to buy a laser cutting machine, it is difficult to distinguish between large and small brands of equipment. In the face of numerous laser cutting equipment on the market, how to choose a laser cutting machine suitable for the needs of enterprises? There is an old saying in China: Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing the goods! Than what? Specific cutting accuracy; Specific cutting efficiency; Specific maintenance cost; Better service life!

1. Cutting accuracy

Cutting accuracy is the basis for selecting the machine tool. It refers to the contour accuracy of the cutting workpiece, not the static accuracy marked on the sample! The difference between a good machine tool and a bad machine tool is whether the accuracy of high-speed cutting parts will change, and whether the consistency of the workpiece will change greatly when cutting at different positions!

2. Cutting efficiency

Cutting efficiency is an index to evaluate the profit of laser cutting machine. Cutting efficiency refers to the completion time of cutting a workpiece, not just the cutting speed! Parameters can be faked, only cutting time cannot be faked! The higher the cutting efficiency, the higher the processing cost and the lower the operating cost. It is a tool for making money!

3. Maintenance costs

At present, the maintenance cost of laser cutting machine mainly comes from the maintenance cost of laser! So it is important to select a suitable laser. Common laser suppliers include Wuhan Ruike, Shenzhen Chuangxin and Germany IPG, but the maintenance and use costs of each laser are different.

4. Service life

The service life is an indicator to evaluate the cost of the machine. The longer the service life of the machine tool, the lower the depreciation cost of the laser cutting machine. The main factors that determine the service life of the machine tool are as follows: ① The rigidity of the machine tool. In brief, the heavier the tonnage of the machine tool, the better the rigidity! ② The configuration of machine tool components, as well as the brand and quality of transmission components! ③ Process manufacturing level, enterprise process accumulation and experience inheritance!
