The application of laser cutting machine in sheet metal industry

Traditional processing methods of sheet metal workshop include cutting, punching and bending processes. The blanking process requires a large number of molds, with less cutting and no cutting process characteristics. In a product processing will generally be equipped with dozens of sets of molds, and even some products may need hundreds of molds. From the economic point of view, equipped with a large number of molds, the cost of the product increases correspondingly, resulting in a waste of funds. In order to adapt to modern sheet metal processing, reduce production costs and improve processing technology, laser processing technology came into being.

With the application of laser cutting machine, sheet metal processing technology has been rapid development, and to sheet metal processing has brought revolutionary ideas. Laser cutting process and laser cutting machine equipment are familiar with the majority of plate processing enterprises, and with its high processing efficiency, high processing precision, good cutting section quality, can carry out three-dimensional cutting processing and many other advantages gradually replace the traditional sheet metal cutting equipment (mainly numerical control equipment, Including shearing machine, punch, flame cutting, plasma cutting, high pressure water cutting and other traditional plate processing equipment). Laser processing technology has a very important position in sheet metal processing technology, improve the productivity of sheet metal technology, promote the development of sheet metal technology. Laser cutting machine high degree of flexibility, can greatly reduce the processing cycle, cutting speed, high production efficiency, improve processing accuracy, speed up the development of products, these advantages are concerned by many manufacturing enterprises.

Laser cutting machine is the laser emitted from the laser, through the optical path system, focusing into a high power density laser beam. A laser beam shines on the surface of the workpiece, bringing it to a melting or boiling point, while a high-pressure gas coaxially with the beam blows the molten or vaporized metal away. With the light beam and the workpiece relative position of the movement, finally make the material formed slit, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting. Laser cutting processing is to replace the traditional mechanical knife with invisible light beam, with high precision, fast cutting, not restricted by cutting patterns, automatic typesetting save materials, smooth incision, low processing costs, will gradually improve or replace the traditional metal cutting equipment.
