How To Choose The Right Laser Cutting Machine?

In today's metal processing industry, the use of laser equipment is becoming more and more widespread, laser cutting technology is now quite mature, in the cutting industry, has a very large market share, but there are still many users do not know how to choose the right laser cutting machine, in fact, can be considered from the following aspects.

1. The range of materials processed by the enterprise and the demand analysis of the business
1.1 Power
First of all, we should consider the scope of their business, the thickness of the cutting material, which materials to cut and other factors, and then determine the size of the power of the equipment to be purchased, the thicker the plate, the more difficult it is to cut, the greater the power required.
Nowadays, laser cutting machines are divided into the following three different types: low-power, medium-power and high-power. Generally speaking, low power manufacturers are the most concentrated in the market. Due to the mature technology and low threshold, each manufacturer continues to simplify laser cutting machines and material cutting in order to maximize profits. Therefore, it is safest to choose a low-power laser cutting machine must choose a brand with quality assurance. In addition to the high quality of these equipment companies themselves, medium power, high power laser cutting machine is also used as a kind of information technology, so the manufacturers who can do medium and high power is much less than low power manufacturers, after all, is an important technical management work.
1.2 Table Size
As for the size, the mainstream is 3015, that is, 3 meters by 1.5 meters. However, size is not an issue. Generally speaking, the company will have many types of sizes for customers to choose from. And the size of the workbench can generally be customized by the manufacturer according to the customer's needs.
1.3 Burr Degree
Burr degree is actually the most concern for customers. Generally speaking, the solid yag is more or less burr for companies, which is mainly determined by the thickness of cutting material and the use of different gases. Generally less than 4 mm is no burr, the gas is the best for nitrogen, oxygen, followed by the worst for air. If you want less burr, you can use fiber laser cutting machine, the cutting surface is very smooth and fast.
1.4 The Configuration of the Laser Cutting Machine
With the development of the laser industry, the brand of laser cutting machine is becoming more and more confusing prices. As you can imagine, the configuration of the machine also varies, and there are even many manufacturers cheating customers under the guise of the brand. Here, I hope that through the customer to pay attention to the core role of laser cutting parts: the laser and laser head. At the same time laser cutting other accessories should also be noted, such as motor, guide, bed, etc., they affect the cutting accuracy of the machine to a certain extent. A point that requires our attention is the cooling control system of the laser cutting machine - cooling cabinet, many companies directly with home air conditioning to cooling, that is actually not good, the best way is to use electronic industry-specific air conditioning, dedicated to the machine, in order to really achieve a best results.
2. According to the budget to choose the right price
Many customers in the purchase of equipment, taking into account the capital input-output ratio, compared with low-power laser cutting machine, high power cutting efficiency is bound to have a great advantage, but the higher the power, the higher the price, many customers want to choose a high power, but considering the affordability of funds, customers will hesitate to do so.
Of course, in addition to the main price of the study through the power factor of the laser cutting machine, other resources configuration will also have an important impact, such as air compressor, dust collector and water cooler. The configuration of the laser cutting machine varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and the price can vary greatly. Therefore, when choosing a brand to use laser through cutting machines, the best option in terms of price is to choose a cost-effective manufacturer of automatic laser cutting machines.
