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.

XTC-F1530H(open model) XTC-F1530G(enclosed model)
A fiber laser cutting machine.

Hope it can help you choose a suitable fiber laser cutting machine.Wish for your kindly reply.

Fiber laser cutting machine for stainless steel

Fiber laser cutting machine for stainless steel.

Yesterday,one of my Czech customer ask about some questions,we would like to share with you:

1.We know some customers are cooperating with CNC or CO2 machine before, but its different. Fiber laser machine is total different machine from CNC machine, they have different techinology. You still trust a company who is professional in CNC machine, not in fiber laser cutting machine? Please really think about it.

2. what would be the difference between raycus and IPG ? IPG is Germany brand, very famous fiber laser source in market, and it’s original imported, so price is a little higher than Raycus. Raycus brand made in China, quality also stability. We think Raycus is more cost-effective than IPG brand. But some customers very like and trust “Germany Brand”, so IPG is optional. The only obvious advantage of IPG is it is more durable than Raycus. For example, if using frequency is same, IPG can be durable for more than 8 years, Raycus can be 7 years.

3. Can we get the servicing of IPG in India? Yes, we you can surely get servicing of IPG in India. Please check attached Statement from IPG. Because, once we sold IPG laser machine to India, we will sign a contract with IPG company, and they will sign on this statement, and you can show it to India IPG, when need service from IPG. So please do not worry about it.

If you are looking for fiber  laser cutting machine,hope we can help you .

Fiber laser machine customer questions-Wendy

/in , , , /by

Fiber laser machine customer questions.

When buy a set of fiber laser cutting machine, customers will consider and have many questions.

It is very normal for every customer to compare the price and quality of machine from different suppliers.

So now we made a summary of Fiber laser cutting machine Cliens questions.

1.Auxiliary gas

When cutting Carbon steel, auxiliary gas is only O2.
When cutting Stainless steel, auxiliary gas can be N2 or O2 .
If using O2, cutting edge will be oxydized and not smooth and show black color.
If using N2, cutting effect is very good and smooth.

2.What program stands on remote CNC?

Cypcut software is with laser machine.

3.What is included in a machine?

Fiber laser source, Laser machine bed, Water chiller,PC,Laser cutting head .etc.

4.Exhaust fan is included?

No, exhaust fan is 3kw generally, it is OPTIONAL accessory.Price is 700 USD/set
5.on burning with your laser. how much do I need the air pressure?
N2 13 Mpa             O2 5 Mpa                     Air 13 Mpa

6.Can we cut aluminum 2mm and steel 2mm with just compressed air?If yes what the pressure we need?

Yes, you can no matter it is 1kw IPG or 1.2kw nLIGHT, it can cut 2mm Al or steel.
It need about 1.3MPa pressure

In fact, in theory, if use compressed air to cut aluminium,
it is better effect than N2 or O2. we suggest you to use compressed air.

7.consumption of gases (nitrogen, oxygen) in liters/hour

This depends on the thickness of the cutting material.
NOTE: For example. In China, one bottle of Liquid Oxygen is 50$/bottle.

Standard oxygen or nitrogen gas bottle is 40L/bottle.
1mm Carbon steel 40L/40minutes
2mm Carbon steel 40L/50minutes
3mm Carbon steel 40L/60minutes
4mm Carbon steel 40L/70minutes
5mm Carbon steel 40L/80minutes
6mm Carbon steel 40L/90minute
For carbon steel,
The thicker metal you cut, the less Oxygen pressure you need,
because if use higher Oxygen pressure for thicker metal sheet, it will be burned.
0.5-0.8mm stainless steel 40L/30minutes
1mm stainless steel 40L/30minutes
2mm stainless steel 40L/30minutes
Generally speaking, the thicker metal sheet,the higher Nitrogen pressure it needs.
For example, if cut 1mm ss, use 10kg Nitrogen.
If cut 4mm ss, need 20kg Nitrogen.
But in order to keep high cutting speed for thin metal sheet , such as 1mm.
So we suggest client to adjust same pressure, all of them are 20kg,
in this way, it not only can make sure high speed when cut thin sheet,
but can make sure cutting thick metal sheet.

8.room size, cleanliness, air conditioning etc.

1)Room size : for 1530 machine, size should be at least 6000*7000mm
2)Room should be clean, no dust
3)Room temperature should with 18—25 degress
4)Standard voltage of laser machine in China : 380v or 3 phase, 50 Hz

9.Water chiller

Water Chiller of Fiber laser cutting machine:
Water cooler inside need to add purified water or distilled water
If the quality of pure water is not particularly good, it is recommended to change the water once every 2 weeks.

Good quality water, once a month for water.

10.Consumables of laser head

Write about each of this items. For what we need each of it?

How do you think what of it we need to offer the client?

focus lens,   protective lens,   nozzle and ceramic rings.
NO.            Name                               Quantity                Time Hours       USD/piece             Remark
1                  Nozzle                          1 or 2 Maximum         500                          15
2         Protective Lense                   2  Maximum              500                         15
3              Focus Lense                       1  Maximum              500                         130
4           Ceramic Ring                        1  Maximum              4000                      70

As the above info, we have given clients some spare parts freely.
Nozzle and Protective lens are easily consumed, so we give more freely.
Focus lens and ceramic ring, they are not easy to be broken, so it no need to have it very many.

11. Diameter of Brass nozzles we need to offer clients?

Differences between brass nozzles diameters?

What diameters we need for different metals?

there are 3 diameter of nozzles, 1.5 , 2.0, 3.0
1.5 including, Single layer and double layer
single layer is better for cutting ≤ 1mm ss
double layer is better for cutting ≤ 1mm cs
Quantity: 1.5 single 1 pc, 1.5 double 1 pc
2.0 & 3.0 including,Single layer and double layer
single layer is better for cutting thick ss
double layer is better for cutting thick csQuantity:

What’s the difference of CNC router and laser cutter?-Flora

/in /by

What’s the difference of CNC router and laser cutter?

What’s the difference of CNC router and laser cutter?

When speaking of the difference between a laser cutter and a CNC router, the most obvious difference is that the laser cutter uses the laser melting method to cut. And the CNC router uses digital technology to control the cutter or the laser head and ultrasonic head to engrave. The laser cutter may be a CNC router. The CNC router can also be installed with a laser head for cutting, so these two are intersecting. XTlaser will tell you the specific difference between laser cutter and CNC engraving machine.
Although both use CNC systems, they work differently and have different mechanical structures. In contrast, the structure of the CNC router is relatively simple. Through the control of the computer numerical control system, the CNC router automatically selects the appropriate cutting tool and engraves on the x, y, and z axes of the machine tool.

According to the specific use situation, the laser cutter is divided into different special machines. The structure of the special machine is roughly the same. The laser source emits laser light. The CNC system controls the laser plug stepper motor to move the laser head, mirror, lens, etc. on the optical element. Move the focus on the X, Y, and Z axes of the machine tool to ablate the material.
The biggest difference between a laser cutter and a CNC router is that the tool of the laser cutter is a complete set of optical elements, and the tool of the CNC router is a carving knife of various entities.

Other differences:
First, laser cutter will do cutting and polishing once, and CNC needs twice.
Second, the diameter of the laser beam is only 0.01mm, the numerical control tool is 20 times larger, and waste is more.
Third, the laser speed is fast, and the laser speed is 2.5 times faster than the CNC router.
Fourth, laser energy consumption is lower than CNC router.
Fifth, the laser is noise-free, pollution-free and highly efficient; CNC machine tools are noisy and will pollute the environment.
Six, the laser is non-contact and does not need to fix the workpiece. The CNC is contact processing and needs to fix the workpiece.
Last, the laser can process soft materials, such as cloth, leather, film, etc.; CNC cannot process because it cannot fix workpiece.

Therefore, in the industries of advertising signs, plexiglass products, garment processing, leather processing, product identification, etc., the advantages of laser cutter is obvious and application is wider and wider.

How to check the laser cutter working well or not?

How to check the laser cutter working well or not?

When using the laser cutting machine,sometimes the laser cutting machine does not emit light. When such a fault occurs, the first thing to do is to check the machine.

1. Check whether the water is alternated normally, so that the water alternates normally. If the water protection is broken, the water supply can be short-circuited;

2, point pre-adjustment, see if the ammeter swings, if not swing, use the meter to measure whether the laser power supply has 220v power, if there is no light, there may be power failure, need to change;

3. It is also possible to check whether the ground wire and water protection test water on the power supply are bad, check the output power, and if the light is out, the potentiometer is broken and needs to be changed;

4. If the main program does not emit light, the machine card can use the meter to measure 15 (H) or 16 (L) angles and 14 degrees between the 14 corners. If there is any, the card is normal, there is no possible card. The signal has a problem;

5, there is a sound inside the laser power supply, usually the power connector does not touch, re-weld or connect, and then blow the dust inside the power supply.

Fiber laser metal cutting machine running cost-Wendy

/in , , /by

Now there is many different metal cutting equipment in the market. Fiber laser cutting machine is one of the most advanced solution. It is becoming more and more popular as its excellent cutting effect and low running cost. Compared with tradition cutting equipment, fiber laser cutter should be the most economic machine.

Fiber laser cutting machine may include 3 parts running cost, electric power, auxiliary gas and quick wear parts.

Electric power cost for fiber laser cutting machine

There is three main part need use electric power, laser source, machine bed and water chillier. Follow date based on 1000w fiber laser source.

We know fiber laser source have very high photoelectric conversion, and it is about 25%. So one set 1000w laser source will cost 4kw power per hour. About machine bed, the main electric power cost parts are servo motor, reducer and control system, and  servo motor is main. Now we total use 4 sets servo motor for 1500*3000mm fiber laser cutting machine. Its total power is about 4kw.  Water chiller also have high power cost, for 1000w laser source, the suitable chillier will cost about 3kw per hour. In this case, one set 1000w fiber laser cutter’s total power cost is 11kw.

But actually, one machine’s real cost is only about 60%. As it is not possible if all parts keep running with full power. So one 1000w fiber laser machine only cost about 6.6kw/hour. We get this date from thousands of test. Nearly no any machine can cost less then fiber laser.

Auxiliary gas

Fiber laser cutting need use auxiliary gas. Mild steel need use O2 gas, and other metals main use N2 gas. Also we can use compressed gas when cut thin ss and ms less than 2mm. Auxiliary gas cost have relation with metal thickness, so we can’t list it here, and just some recommend for reference.

According to our experience and customers’ feedback,  liquid nitrogen and  liquid oxygen is better. First, liquid gas is cheaper. Second, each tank have some rest when using. As its pressure become low so that we can’t use it on running. But when we use liquid gas, it is one big tank, no need change tank always. So all gas will be use.

 

Quick wear parts

Fiber laser cutting machine quick wear parts main include protective lens, focus lens, nozzle and ceramic rings. Their lifetime is about 500 hours and Ceramic rings lifetime is about 1 year. Protective lens and nozzle is cheap and about 15~30usd/piece. Ceramic ring not more than 100usd/piece. Focus lens is about 150usd/piece.

Except above cost, fiber laser cutting machine near have no any other running cost. Even its price is very high when we buy, but running cost should be the cheapest.

Fiber laser metal cutting machine main parts

Fiber laser metal cutting machine main parts.

These days more and more customers ask for the fiber laser cutting machine for metal plate cutting. However, some customers do not know the main components. Then you can see the follow content to know fiber laser cutting machine main components.

Fiber laser source:

It is the core component of fiber laser cutting machine. And it is also the “power source” for fiber laser cutting machine to realize cutting operation. So fiber lasers offer higher efficiency, longer life, less maintenance. And lower cost than other types of lasers.

Cutting head:

The laser cutting head is a laser output device consisting of a nozzle, a focusing lens and a focus tracking system. And the cutting head of the laser cutting machine will walk according to the set cutting trajectory. But the height of the laser cutting head needs to adjust and controll under different materials, different thicknesses and different cutting methods.

Servo motor:

Servo motor is an engine that controls the operation of mechanical components in a servo system. It is an auxiliary motor indirect transmission. So the servo motor can control the speed and position accuracy very accurately. And can convert the voltage signal into torque and speed to drive the control object. The high-quality servo motor can effectively guarantee the cutting precision, positioning speed. And repeat positioning accuracy of the laser cutting machine.

Chiller:

The chiller is a cooling device for laser cutting machines that cools lasers, spindles, etc. quickly and efficiently. Today’s chillers contain advanced functions such as input and output control device switches and cooling water flow, high and low temperature alarms, and the performance is more stable.

Gas supply system:

The gas supply system of the fiber laser cutting machine mainly includes a gas source, a filtering device and a pipeline. The gas source is composed of bottled gas and compressed air.

Host:

The bed, beam, workbench, and Z-axis system of the laser cutting machine are collectively referred to as the main unit. When the laser cutting machine performs cutting, the workpiece is first placed on the bed, and then the servo motor is used to drive the beam to control the movement of the Z-axis. The user can adjust the parameters according to his own needs.

Control system:

Mainly control the machine tool to realize the movement of the X, Y and Z axes, and also control the output power of the laser.

Four tricks to teach you how to make the laser cutter not “fever”!-Angelina

Four tricks to teach you how to make the laser cutter not “fever”!

 

Fiber laser cutter machine generates a large amount of heat when processing the sheet metal.

Under normal conditions, the heat generating by the cutting will diffuse along the cutting seam into the processed sheet metal and get sufficient cooling.

In the processing of the small hole of the metal laser cutting machine, the outer side of the hole can be sufficiently cooled.

The small hole portion inside the single hole is easy to cause over-burning and slag hanging because of the small space where the heat can diffuse.

How to avoid over-burning when laser cutter sheet metal?

● Add a cooling point at the corner

When cutting the sharp corner metal sheets, the position when the over-burning is more likely to occur is often at the sharp corners.

The over-burning will cut the sharp corners into a circle.

Then you can add a cooling point in the sharp corner, pause in the sharp corner, blowing air.

● Use high power lasers

When cutting carbon steel, a higher power laser can be used.

The bright surface cutting technology can effectively avoid over-burning.

And this cutting technology can cut out finished products with burr-free, bright cut surface.

● Nitrogen cutting

In the sheet metal cutting with oxygen as auxiliary gas, nitrogen can be switched to cut.

During nitrogen cutting, the material is completely melted by laser energy.

And nitrogen blew out of the slit to avoid the improper chemical reaction.

The temperature in the melting point area is relatively low, with the cooling and protection effect of nitrogen, the reaction is stable.

Even  and the cutting quality is high.

The section is fine and smooth, the surface roughness is low, and there is no oxide layer.
