  • Adjustment when machine instalation and any questions you need to concerned in cutting process

 Adjustment process:

 1. After booting up adjustment

1). All axes return to the origin in adjustment. 2). Check whether there are black spots in the red light, and check whether the light core is in the middle 3). Place the board and import the graphics to be processed. 4). Calibration and calibration, check whether the nozzle and cutting parameters are appropriate, check the gas and whether the gas outlet is normal 5). Change to suitable nozzle, setting cutting parameters on software 6)frame then start cutting https://youtu.be/yM0w_Zp9_Mg

2. Can black spots appear on the red dot when adjustment? If that happens, what should we do?

If there are black spot on red light, you need to check protect glasses. Perhaps scrap iron on the protect glasses, laser can not light on metal.

If we see black spots then we need to remove those covers and clean the lens if not work, change a new glasses:

A Lower protective lens. Protecting the focusing lens.

Protective lenses on top. Protecting collimating lenses.

   3. If hit STOP, I will stop the cut? Just want to know how to stop it in case I need to do, pause?

Yes. After you pause, hit Start again, and it keeps cutting. If you click stop, you need to start cutting again.

  1. Safety

When replacing nozzles and adjustment, one person operates. Other personnel do not operate machines,

including computer monitors and remote controls. If you accidentally touch the laser switch, the person replacing the nozzle will hurt.

Make sure always 1 person operation machine when machine turn on.

  1. Do I need to hit FRAME every time we will do a new cut?

Yes. If the sheet size is not enough,not Frame, the cutting heads will collide. So you need to click on Frame before each cut starts. Make sure it’s all right and start cutting

Why Choose High Power Laser Cutting Machine

Now more and more customers has new requirements on the accuracy, speed and thickness of sheet metal cutting. So the high power laser cutting machine gain more and more popular.Whether you are planning to buy new fiber laser cutting machine, or have low-power equipment and are currently in operation, high power laser equipment can bring you a better return on investment.

Some readers may have questions, we only cut 5mm-10mm plates, why do we need a high power fiber laser cutting machine? What benefits can it bring to us？

1. Save time and cost

Taking the cutting of 5mm stainless steel mentioned at the beginning of this article as an example, the 12000w laser cutting machine works continuously for 24 hours, which is equivalent to the 6000w laser cutting machine working continuously for 2.7 days, and the 3000w laser cutting machine working continuously for 4.4 days.

For sheet metal cutting, the delivery time can measure the processing level to a large extent. The shorter the delivery time, the higher the customer satisfaction and the stronger the market competitiveness. For self-produced and self-sold customers, faster processing speed means higher parts delivery efficiency, and can easily meet the demand for increased production capacity.

2. The cost of use has not increased significantly

In addition, high power laser cutting machine can use air to cut thin plates, and the cutting effect can be guaranteed. This will further reduce the cost of use and enhance the profitability of the company.

3. A wider processing range

In a word, high power laser cutting machine can expand the processing thickness range of plates. At the same time, the utilization rate of the machine is increased. For example, your company does not purchase a small and medium power cutting machine, but when you purchase a high power laser cutting machine, you can process both thin and thick plates at the same time!

Our old customer Chris suddenly received a new order, but part of it needs to cut 30mm carbon steel. Because the low-power laser cutting machine is unable to cut steel with such a thickness, it can only lose orders in the end. But for a high power laser cutting machine, this is easy to do! Therefore, when customers have such needs, you can rest assured to accept orders! At the same time, the application fields of heavy plates in major projects such as railways, highways, water conservancy, hydropower, energy, mining, construction, aviation, shipbuilding, etc. have increased year by year. Therefore, the high power laser laser cutting machine can not only broaden your service scope, but also effectively improve the market competitiveness in the sheet metal cutting.

4. Better cutting effect

The high power laser cutting machine has a better cross-section and a smaller taper. At the same time, it can cut a wider thickness of the bright surface. It can complete the bright surface cutting of 30mm carbon steel. The finished product customer is more satisfied.

At present, some high power laser cutting machine manufacturers on the market are pursuing higher power, hoping to show their strength, but ignore that high power is not only upgrading the laser power, but also the overall structure of the equipment. For a high power laser cutting machine, higher power requires a more stable bed to ensure processing stability.

That is all for day about Why Choose High Power Laser Cutting Machine,any interests,contact with us freely!

How to find a suitable fiber laser cutting machine

How to find a suitable fiber laser cutting machine?We will talked this topic in this article.

That’s not an everyday task, and as a result, some shops aren’t sure where to start.

This guide can help fabricators ask the right questions when making this important purchase.

For most manufacturers, buying an industrial laser cutting machine is a major investment.

It’s not just the initial price you pay, but the fact that the purchase will have a great impact on the entire manufacturing process.

If the wrong equipment is chosen, you have to live with the decision for quite a long time.

It is not unusual to see manufacturers keep a laser for seven to 10 years.

Do you know the best way to go about purchasing a laser cutting machine?

Even if you currently own one, how long ago did you buy it, and what has changed since then?

This guide should help you in making a capital purchase decision that will drive your manufacturing operations to new heights.

Do We Really Need to Invest in Laser Cutting?How to find a suitable fiber laser cutting machine?

A company that doesn’t have a laser cutting machine generally subcontracts the work to one or several job shops with that capability.

This scenario doesn’t involve a lot of risk and can work if you have some flexibility with lead times.

But, there will come a time when you have to ask yourself if it is time for the company to bring laser cutting in-house. This has to be considered even if the business relationship with the subcontractor is great.

How do you know if it is the right time to own a laser?

Look at how much you are spending monthly for laser-cut parts.

In the words of Henry Ford, “If you need a machine and don’t buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don’t have it.”

If the decision is made to bring laser cutting in-house, you may be put in a position where you need to justify why the investment needs to be made.

The costs associated with subcontracting out the laser cutting are just the starting point for the justification.

How much more productive will the manufacturing process be with in-house laser cutting?

How does this affect lead times?

From an expense standpoint, not only do you have the cost of the laser cutting machine, you have labor and consumable costs, such as laser cutting assist gas.

If you have other questions,pls feel free to contact us.

High precision laser cutting machine-Eliza

New design 6060 high precision laser cutting machine

New design high quality precision fiber laser metal cutting-Precision fiber laser metal cutting.

Precise laser cutting performed in the same way as a traditional milling machine. Both techniques allow cutting on X, Y and Z axes that apply to cutting mechanisms. Meanwhile, a milling machine uses a drill to create cuts, a laser cutter uses a high-energy laser.

Laser cutting is the easiest for the product, allowing cutting to start at the edge of the material. Most precision laser cutters have both piercing and continuous wave cutting capabilities. Pierce holes often add a few seconds of production time to each part and should be avoided if possible.

Laser cutting offers many advantages over traditional metal cutting techniques because laser cutting produces no physical contact with the cut materials. As a result, laser cutting provides improved accuracy and can cut complex shapes. Other benefits include consistency across a wide range of parts, partial deformation, and the ability to quickly create design changes. In addition, the risk of injury will be smaller.

Precision laser cutting machine based on thin plate processing technology, high precision, fast speed, smooth cut, generally no need for follow-up processing;Cutting heat affected area is small, plate deformation is small;High machining accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the surface of the material.At present, the application of precision machining industry is increasing, PCB board cutting, microelectronic circuit template precision cutting, glasses industry, jewelry industry.

Laser precision machining has the following remarkable characteristics:

1.Wide range: laser precision machining of a wide range of objects, including almost all metal and non-metallic materials;

2.High precision: laser beams can be focused to very small sizes, making them particularly suitable for precision machining.In general, laser precision machining is superior to other traditional machining methods because of its low quality and high precision;

3.High speed and quick:Laser precision machining is simple to operate and convenient to adjust the width of cutting seam. So it can do  high speed carving and cutting according to the pattern output by computer.

4.Safe and reliable: laser precision machining is non-contact processing, which will not cause mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress on the material,So it can process very small parts

5.Low cost: it is not limited by the quantity of processing. For small batch processing service, laser processing is cheaper.For the processing of large products, the mold manufacturing cost of large products is very high, laser processing does not need any mold manufacturing, and laser processing completely avoids the edge collapse caused by material punching and shearing, which can greatly reduce the production cost of enterprises and improve the product grade.

6.Small cutting seam: the laser cutting slit generally 0.1-0.2mm.

7.Smooth cutting surface: laser cutting surface without burr.

8.Small thermal deformation: laser processing laser slit, fast speed, energy concentration. So the heat transferred to the cut material  and the deformation of the material is small.

9.Material saving: laser processing adopts computer programming. So it can  cut materials of products of different shapes to maximize the utilization rate of materials . And  it greatly reduce the material cost of enterprises.

A Brief Guide on How to Buy an Effective Laser Cutting Machine-Yan

/in , /by

A laser cutting machine is a cutting device that utilizes the laser lights for cutting different materials such as metal, textiles, wood, and acrylic among many others.  In the case of a metal cutting process, a laser cutting machine can be used to cut different types of metals such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminums and so on.Laser cutting systems are preferred by many users because of its accuracy, very small precision width and excellent cutting quality.Lasers are broadly used in the metal manufacturing and fabrication industries because they are a very efficient tool for cutting metal and most effective when combined with the CNC mechanism.

Before buying a laser cutting machine, you must have some idea of the products, their functions, and features to make sure you’re getting the best!

We’ve listed the top factors you should consider while deciding to buy a laser cutting machine:

Type of Function

How will the machine be used? This is the prime consideration before making your buying decision. You can use this machine mainly for two functions: cutting and engraving. So, decide first! You can use the laser cutting machine for cutting different types of materials. The materials will have different specifications; so, it’s best to decide on how you would like to use the machine before, so that you can make the decision wisely.

Size of the Bed

You should decide on the amount of work you would like to do with your laser cutting machine. The bed size of the laser machine determines the amount of the work you can accomplish with it. The size of the machine bed varies. The bigger the size, the more the work you can get done by your machine. As the bed size is a permanent feature, you cannot change it later. Therefore, your decision must be based on the amount of cutting work that you are planning to undertake. For instance, if you have the plan of handling large projects you obviously should go for a laser machine with the large bed.

Quality of Optics

Performance and quality of the work of the laser machine largely depend on the quality of the optics. Many people are unaware of this fact and think that the power consumption is the important determinant on how effectively the machine works. But it is not the power; it is the quality of optics that matter most. Therefore, while making the purchase decision, you should not worry so much about the amount of power that the laser machine consumes rather you should focus on the quality of the optics of the machine. To ensure the quality of the machine optics, you can see the demonstration on how the machine works on the different materials as well as on various settings.

Consideration on Power Scale

Before buying, determine how much of a power capacity you need. Some lasers machines are light at their penetrative powers while the others utilize the full wattage of power designed. If you want to buy laser cutting machines for artistic purposes, you can choose a lighter laser machine. On the other hand, you may need laser machines with greater power to penetrate certain metals for manufacturing purposes.

User-friendliness

Your new laser cutting machine should have an easy-to-use user interface. As a new buyer, it is likely that you do not know how to operate the laser cutting machine.  Your machine, therefore, should enclose an easy-to-follow user’s manual which should not only show how to operate the machine but also how to undertake maintenance and minor repairs.

Some Important Points on the Types of the Laser Cutting Machines that Help You Decide.

Types of Lasers:

In the manufacturing industry, mainly three types of laser cutting machines are in use.

  • Moving materials machine.
  • Flying optic machine.
  • Hybrid configuration machine.

In the ‘Moving Materials Machine’, materials move and the laser beam remains stationery, in the ‘Flying Optic Machine’ the laser beam is moveable and it’s paired with stationery materials and the ‘Hybrid  Configuration’ type is the combination of the both above systems.

Furthermore, laser cutting machines come with the different types of lasers. As per the type of the laser, the cutting machines can be categorized as follows:

  • Disc; The “disc” or “Tru-disc” was designed by Trumpf and is used solely by them at the present time.
  • CO2 laser; CO2 is old technology. It uses laser gas to generate the beam inside of the resonator.
  • Fiber Laser; Fiber uses Solid state diodes to create the beam. They are the newest technology and the cheapest to run.

Fiber Lasers cutting machine are manufactured by  latest technology with many advantages.XTlaser are preferred for their high flexibility and efficient output with several variations. The “IPG Fiber Resonator” that is used with the XTlaser can run for an estimated time of 100,000 hours before any major service and thus, reduces the maintenance costs.

XTlaser offers the best fiber laser machines on the market.

How to choose a suitable fiber laser cutting machine

How to choose a suitable fiber laser cutting machine for your business?In this article,we will introduce it for you.

1.Laser power
Firstly, we need to consider the machine laser power.High power fiber laser cutting machine is more and more polular now.Because on one hand, it can cut thick metal plates.On the other hand,it has a fast cutting speed than common laser power machine.So its cutting effiency is higher.What is the laser power are you using now?We noticed that you need often to cut stainless steel,carbon steel,aluminum ect.So what is the thickness that you need to cut often?

Here is the cutting ability for your reference.

           3000w            4000w 6000w
CS SS Aluminum CS SS Aluminum CS SS Aluminum
optimal cutting ability ≤18mm ≤8mm ≤8mm ≤20mm ≤10mm ≤10mm ≤22mm ≤18mm ≤16mm

2.Laser source
Secondly,choose the laser source.90% of our European clients choose IPG laser source.Because it photoelectric conversion rate can reach 45%(other brand is about 25%),so it can save much cost in the long run.But if you need it,we also have Raycus laser source can be choose.

3.Machine model
Thirdly,choose a suitable machine table.1500*3000mm cutting table is our standard model.We have open type(H model,more suitable for ≤3000w) and full enclosed model(G model,more suitable for ≥3000w) can be chose.The configurations of G series is better than H series,also it has full enclosed cover and two exchange tables,so its price is a little expensive than H series.

Auto focus laser cutting head of Fiber laser cutting machine-Eliza

/in , , /by
Auto focus laser cutting head of Fiber laser cutting machine? How to implement?
Auto focus laser cutting head.

As you know, fiber laser cutting machine has many advantage. The cutting precision is high. Cutting surface is smooth. No need to deal with the surface after cutting. Cutting effect is good. No matter it is thin or thick metal. However, the focus point also influences the good cutting effect. Good focus help good effect. So, what is the focus control?
If you know machine well, you must know that.

When cut different thick metal. In order to get a good effect. We need to set the different focus point on the different position.

Such as:

For thin carbon steel, we set focus point on the surface.

Thick carbon steel, we set the focus point over the top surface.

For stainless steel, we set the focus point below the bottom surface.

This is what we call the focus point.

Auto focus? Adjust the height?

At the first period of machine development. We adjust the focus mainly by manual.

With the development of laser, more and more choose auto focus laser head.

Maybe some customers have confusion. Inside the cutting head, it fix the light path. If we adjust the height of laser head, it is to adjust the focus? When we lift the laser head, the focus point is higher. When we lower down the laser head, the focus point is lower. However, the truth is. It is not that simple.

Bottom of cutting head is nozzle. During the cutting process, the distance between the nozzle and cutting piece surface is about 0.5-1.5 mm. So we see this as a fixed value. So we can not change the nozzle height. We can not adjust the focus by lifting and lower the laser head. Otherwise machine can not cut.

Use a motor to drive focus lens

The focus of focus lens is fixed. So we can not adjust the focal length to adjust the focus point. If we change the location of focus lens, we can adjust the focus point. Lower the focus lens, so the focus point is lower. Up the focus lens, so the focus point up. This is surely one way to adjust the focus. We use a motor to drive focus lens to be up and down. So we can achieve the auto focus.

With the auto focus function. When we produce the different metal. Different thickness, machine can set the focus. To the most suitable position with a high speed. Thus can improve the cutting efficient. We can also reduce greatly the perforation time for thick metal .

So, for laser cutting machine. The auto focus function is an important and indispensable function.

Fiber laser cutting machine. The auto focus function, not only can achieve the automation goal. But also significantly improve the processing efficiency.

We can reduce the perforation time for thick metal. For the different material and different thickness. The machine can automatically set focus on the most suitable position.

If budget is enough, we suggest auto focus. It can help u reduce so much time.

More questions just let us know.
