1. Classification by cutting material type
There are two types of metal laser cutting machines and non-metal laser cutting machines. This is easy to distinguish. Generally, metal laser cutting machines are used when metal materials are needed, while non-metallic laser cutting machines are used when cutting non-metallic materials.
2. Classification by laser type
According to the laser type classification of laser cutting machines, they can be divided into three types: fiber laser cutting machines, CO2 gas laser cutting machines, and YAG laser cutting machines that have been phased out. The mainstream type of laser cutting machine in the domestic market now is fiber laser cutting machine.
3. Classification by laser output power
According to the classification of laser output power, it can be divided into three types: high-power laser cutting machines, high-power laser cutting machines, and low-power laser cutting machines. The laser output power required for different application fields also varies. In the industrial field, high-power fiber laser cutting machines are the main ones, while in the laser engraving field, high-power laser engraving and cutting machines are the main ones.
4. Classification by cutting sheet width
Cutting sheet metal can be divided into two types: standard format and large format, so laser cutting machines can also be divided into two types: standard format laser cutting machines and large format laser cutting machines. The cutting length in the X-axis direction of large format laser cutting machines is usually over 8000mm, and the cutting width in the Y-axis direction is usually 2500mm, while the cutting area of standard format cutting machines is generally 3000mm × 1500mm、4000mm × About 2000mm.
5. Classification by cutting sheet geometry
The types of cutting plates can be divided into flat plates and three-dimensional plates. Flat plates are generally cut using a flat laser cutting machine, while three-dimensional plates can be cut using robot laser cutting machines, three-dimensional five axis laser cutting machines, etc.
