With the development of the laser industry, laser cutting machines have gradually replaced traditional metal cutting process equipment. It can replace human labor to better complete the items to be cut. In order to meet different cutting requirements, laser cutting can be classified according to the following aspects.
1. Classification based on the type of cutting material
As the name suggests, metal laser cutting machines are used to cut metal materials, while non-metallic laser cutting machines are used to cut non-metallic materials.
2. Classification based on laser output power
It can be divided into low-power laser cutting machines, medium power laser cutting machines, and high-power laser cutting machines. The laser output power varies, and the application fields also vary. In the industrial field, high-power fiber laser cutting machines are mainly used, but in the laser engraving field, medium and low power laser engraving and cutting machines are mainly used.
3. Classification based on the geometric shape of the cut sheet
Cutting plates can be divided into flat cutting and three-dimensional cutting. Flat plates are generally cut using flat laser cutting machines, while three-dimensional three-dimensional plates can be cut using robot laser cutting machines, three-dimensional five axis laser cutting machines, etc.
4. Classify according to the type of laser
According to the laser type of the cutting machine, it can be divided into fiber laser cutting machines, CO2 gas laser cutting machines, and YAG laser cutting machines. At present, YAG laser cutting machines have been phased out. Fiber laser cutting machines are currently the mainstream in the domestic market. Good cutting quality, high precision, and fast efficiency are increasingly sought after by metal processing enterprises.
