Steel Coil Metal Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

A: Auxiliary gases are integral to optimizing the laser cutting process, each serving a specific function to enhance performance. Oxygen accelerates the combustion process by providing additional heat, resulting in faster cutting speeds, particularly for ferrous materials. Nitrogen, conversely, is primarily used to improve the cut quality by blowing molten material away from the cutting area, ensuring a smooth, clean edge while preventing oxidation and discoloration. Selecting the appropriate gas for a given material is essential for achieving optimal cutting speed and surface finish.

A: Fiber laser cutting machines are highly versatile and can efficiently cut a variety of metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, nitinol, titanium,etc. They are particularly effective with hard and dense materials, offering precision and flexibility for cutting complex shapes and sizes with high accuracy. This adaptability makes fiber lasers ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

A: Fiber lasers are capable of cutting metals across a wide range of thicknesses. Typically, they can cut carbon steel from 1mm to 80mm, stainless steel from 1mm to 70mm, and aluminum from 1mm to 60mm. The cutting capability increases with the power of the machine; higher-powered fiber lasers can handle thicker materials more effectively. However, the actual cutting thickness may also depend on factors such as material type, laser settings, and the quality of the laser source.

A: Cutting through rusted metal is not recommended due to several challenges. Rust alters the way the laser interacts with the material, often resulting in poor cut quality, inefficient use of materials, and potential complications during the piercing process. More importantly, it can cause a blowout, which may damage sensitive optics and shorten the lifespan of the machine. For optimal performance and to protect your equipment, it is advisable to remove the rust before cutting, as this will improve both efficiency and cutting quality.

A: A laser cutting machine is a long-term investment, designed for reliable performance over an extended period—typically exceeding 10 years. The laser source, which is the core component, is generally rated for over 100,000 operational hours. To ensure your confidence in both performance and quality, we offer a comprehensive 2-year warranty, reflecting our commitment to durability and customer satisfaction.

A: The "resume from breakpoint" functionality acts as a safeguard for the laser processing workflow. In the event of a power outage or an intentional pause, the system records the exact position and status of the cutting process. Once power is restored or the process is resumed, the machine can continue from the precise point where it left off, minimizing material waste and downtime. This feature is critical for maintaining efficiency, reducing operational disruptions, and ensuring resource optimization.

A: In laser cutting operations, several components are subject to wear and require regular attention to maintain optimal performance. Key wear parts include the ceramic rings, nozzles, and lenses, which are crucial for focusing and protecting the laser beam. Timely maintenance and replacement of these components are essential to ensure consistent cutting quality and protect the integrity of the system. These parts play a vital role in maintaining precision and efficiency, making their upkeep critical for the longevity and effectiveness of the machine.
