Laser cutting is to use a high-power laser beam to scan the surface of the material to be cut, heat the material to several thousand to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius in a very short time, quickly melt or vaporize the material, and then use high-pressure gas to melt or vaporize the material. Blow away from the kerf for the purpose of cutting the material. The advantages of laser cutting are:
1.There is no direct contact between the laser head and the surface of the material, and the cutting process will not cause scratches on the surface of the material;
2.The laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and generally no follow-up processing is required;
3.The high concentration of the laser beam has a small heat-affected area of the plate, the deformation of the plate is small, and the slit is narrow (0.1mm~0.3mm); the incision has no mechanical stress and no shear burr;
4.High machining accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the surface of the material; CNC programming;
5.It can process any plan, and can cut the whole board with a large format without opening the mold, which is economical and time-saving.
Plasma cutting uses compressed air as the working gas, high temperature and high speed plasma arc as the heat source, partially melts the metal to be cut, and at the same time blows the melted metal away with high-speed airflow to form a narrow slit. Plasma cutting has some similar advantages to laser cutting and is currently widely used in sheet metal processing and industrial production.
In this way, many people may not be able to easily distinguish the advantages of the two cutting methods. Let’s make a comparison below.
1.Laser cutting is much more precise than plasma cutting, the heat affected zone is much smaller, and the kerf is much smaller, the plasma energy can reach within 1mm, and the laser energy can reach within 0.2mm;
2.The heat-affected zone of plasma cutting is relatively large, and the slit is relatively wide, which is not suitable for cutting thin plates, because the plates will be deformed due to heat, and laser cutting machines can handle both thin plates and thick plates.
3.The purchase price of the laser cutting machine is a little more expensive than that of the plasma cutting machine, and the later use and maintenance costs are also slightly more expensive than the laser cutting machine. For this reason, the plasma cutting machine still has a large market.
The above is a comparison of the advantages of laser cutting and plasma cutting. I believe everyone can have a basic understanding. If you have higher requirements for the quality of processed products, it is more suitable to choose laser cutting.
Advantages: Water cutting is also called water jet cutting. It uses water as the medium. This is a cold process. During the cutting process, no heat will be generated on the surface of the workpiece, and the cutting process will not produce chemical changes, so it will not produce toxic chemicals. gas or liquid. This is very important to the aerospace industry because the waterjet cutting process does not alter the physical state of the material being cut, nor does it cause the material to warp due to heat. Water cutting also plays a major role in underwater rescue scenarios.
Disadvantages: Waterjet cutting is not as precise. The water jet is composed of a high-pressure pump, a CNC machining platform and a jet cutting head. The focus of water-cutting is to accelerate the water, and the high-pressure pump pressurizes the water, so it is not very convenient and accurate to process relatively thin and small materials.
Advantages and disadvantages of laser cutting
Advantages: Laser cutting does not contact the surface of the material, will not scratch the workpiece, the speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, not affected by the hardness and thickness of the material, the adaptability and flexibility are high, and the material waste is reduced. Laser cutting requires less cleaning and produces a small amount of waste in the form of dust that can be quickly removed by a dust extraction system.
Disadvantages: Laser cutting is suitable for a variety of metals and non-metals, but the material being cut and its properties often limit the suitability of certain cutting mechanisms, assist gases, and laser types. Laser cutting equipment typically consumes more power and energy than other cutting processes.
All laser cutting processes have their inherent pros and cons, but it seems that fiber laser cutters have advantages far more than any other. Fiber lasers have only begun to gain traction in the past few decades or so, but the benefits it brings are quickly being realized among metal fabricators across the country. Fiber laser cutters can easily and seamlessly adapt to a wide range of applications between industries.
What are the benefits of fiber laser cutting machines?
Fiber lasers have several major advantages: the light propagating in the fiber is well shielded from environmental disturbances, fiber lasers tend to be very compact in design, they have large gain bandwidths, a wide wavelength tuning range, and the ability to generate ultrashort pulses . They operate efficiently with high power and are suitable for many types of cutting programs.
Fiber lasers can cut through thin materials at very high speeds, and they also have the ability to cut reflective materials, cutting highly reflective metals like copper, brass, and aluminum without damaging the machine.
No thermal damage to objects
The laser light emitted by a fiber laser cutter is very powerful, which is why it can easily cut thicker materials such as steel. And they’re so precise that the beam won’t cause any damage to surrounding materials.
Many industries can benefit from this. Like the electronics industry, where light beams need to work in very small dimensions without damaging any of the components necessary to make these electronic devices work.
outstanding performance
Fiber lasers offer higher performance than many of their counterparts. Fiber lasers offer higher levels of beam quality, can be highly focused for extremely high levels of precision, and increase power density. It also means that tasks can be done faster and with less power consumption.
The main reason for using fiber laser cutting technology is to reduce the mechanical stress on sheet metal parts during cutting. Lasers help eliminate shock stress that can adversely affect sheet metal products during the cutting process. Additionally, the heat-affected zone is so small that the rest of the workpiece is barely exposed to heat, thereby preserving the properties of the material being processed.
Plus, because laser cutting doesn’t negatively affect sheet metal, it helps to minimize waste—dense cuts allow more parts to be made per square meter of sheet metal.
How to maximize the benefits of laser technology
One of the goals when designing for manufacturing is to achieve a simple solution, not a complex one. After all, complex designs are more difficult to manage, increase the potential for error, and create waste in the form of materials, energy, labor, and time. Laser cutting technology is a suitable tool for creating components of all shapes and sizes and is one of the most efficient and cost-effective manufacturing methods.
Complex cuts with good edge quality can be made precisely on laser cutting equipment. A precise laser beam creates close-tolerance components in a fast, clean and efficient manner with little operator intervention. Advanced software and narrow cuts allow parts to be tightly nested, maximizing yield and reducing material waste.
Laser technology is developing rapidly, machines is getting more and the price is getting better. Like the laser cutting machine, we have updated the power to 40KW.

Replace legacy cutting machine
Firstly, YAG lasers is for decades have been great workhorses.Cause they have performed well and been excellent manufacturing centers for many companies.
While we update many of these systems to fiber lasers. However they still have old stage sets that are a number of generations behind current technology. In addition, they are running on slow and aging controllers with legacy software.
Simply put, the laser, stages, controller, software, water systems. Here is a brief overview of improvements.It is enable faster and better cuts with higher production rates and less downtime.
Fiber Laser
The pulsed Nd:YAG lasers used in the past years. It has been superseded by fiber lasers with better beam quality . This provides a smaller and more consistent focused spot size.Which offers tighter cutting tolerances, with spot sizes down to 10µm, the ability to cut much finer detail features. These lasers provide pulse frequencies up to and beyond 5kHz and pulse widths down to 20µs to enable energy input optimization for a wide variety of tube materials and wall thicknesses.
Fiber Laser tube pipe cutting technology
Now fiber lasers use microsecond pulses.It offers a cutting speed and edge quality that is sufficient for many applications. Fiber laser is very short pulse duration, combined with peak powers into the gigawatt level, offers a unique cutting capability. And also, the fiber laser has a fusion cutting mechanism. whereby the laser pulse melts the metal.It is then ejected from the part by high-pressure gas. The very high peak power of the fiber laser and a pulse duration that is shorter than the material’s conduction time creates a nearly pure vaporization mechanism. Since there is no melt creation during the cutting process, there is no burr, which is beneficial for such materials.
Fiber Laser tube cutting technology offer significant advantages and capability over legacy machines. It increases productivity with better process capability. Whether using the fiber laser, improvements to motion, controller and control software. It provide new capability for future manufacturing needs.

Some customers ask about the CNC cutting machine.
CNC cutting: if the cutting speed is too low and the air pressure is too high, then the slag is severe, it is difficult to remove, and the finish is poor.
If the cutting speed is right, the working pressure is too high.That damages the stiffness and smoothness of the arc column . Also reduce the cutting ability, and the cutting finish is poor.
Since there is no tooling cost, laser cutting equipment is also suitable for producing small-lot parts of various sizes. that were previously impossible to machine. Laser cutting equipment usually uses computerized digital control technology (CNC) devices. With this device, cutting data can be accepted from a computer-aided design (CAD) workstation using a telephone line.
Punch press is a stamping press. In the national production, the stamping process has the advantages of saving material and energy.When comparing with traditional machining, high efficiency, low technical requirements for operators.Its use is more and more extensive.
