Optical fiber laser cutting machine is slower to cut metal thinner than 1mm?

Optical fiber laser cutting machine is more and more popular in the sheet metal industry in recent years, but it is because compared with traditional cutting methods, optical fiber laser cutting machine consumes less materials and has high cutting accuracy and efficiency. Today, I share with you the most common mistake about optical fiber laser cutting machine – many people think that the thinner the metal plate is, the easier it is to cut, which is actually incorrect!

As we all know, the optical fiber laser cutting machine can quickly cut and process the metal sheet, but it is definitely not the thinner the metal sheet, the better the processing is. A metal sheet with a thickness of 1mm, if the optical fiber laser cutting machine is used for cutting, it is really very fast, with high precision, and the finished product effect is also very satisfactory, but what about the metal sheet thinner than 1mm? In many people’s opinion, a 0.05mm metal sheet should be cut faster and more accurately than a 1mm metal sheet, but the fact is the opposite.

When the 0.55mm thick metal sheet is cut with the optical fiber laser cutter, it is very easy to cause the effect that the surplus material is warped because the sheet is too thin, which affects the accuracy, and it is also quite troublesome to waste manpower for secondary processing. In the actual cutting process, some people put forward that several pieces should be cut together, but this can only ensure the cutting accuracy of the metal sheet on the surface, and the accuracy of the plate below will also be inaccurate, and the waste residue will remain on the surface.

The cutting efficiency of the optical fiber laser cutting machine is affected not only by the thickness of the plate, but also by the thickness of the optical fiber laser cutting machine and the habits of workers using equipment. In order to achieve the most ideal cutting efficiency of the optical fiber laser cutting machine, it is necessary to select the most appropriate optical fiber laser cutting machine according to the plate to be cut. If the optical fiber laser cutting machine on the market is divided according to the power, it is roughly 1000w to 3000w. The most important thing to select the appropriate optical fiber laser cutting machine is to select a reliable and guaranteed laser cutting machine manufacturer with a certain production scale.
