Laser cutting technology is an alternative to traditional stamping technology. The CNC punching machine is a sheet metal forming machine tool. In the traditional process, it is mainly used in the “cutting” link in the processing of sheet metal. With the maturity of the laser cutting process, laser equipment is an inevitable replacement for CNC punching machines, but punching machines will not completely disappear. CNC punching machines still play a vital role in some functional links that cannot be replaced by lasers. At this stage, China’s steel laser cutting machines has basically completed the rapid replacement of traditional stamping technology, and the demand for laser cutting equipment and CNC punching machines has maintained a relatively dynamic balance.
Secondly, is the operation of the Industrial Metal Laser Cutter dangerous?
Steel laser cutting machines is an environmentally friendly cutting method that is harmless to the human body. Laser cutting produces less dust, light and noise than plasma and oxygen cutting. Personal injury or machine damage may result even if proper operating methods are not followed.
1. Pay attention to flammable materials when using the machine. Some materials cannot be cut with a fiber laser cutter, including foam core materials, all PVC materials, highly reflective materials, etc.
2. During the working process of the machine, it is strictly forbidden for the operator to leave, so as to avoid unnecessary losses.
3. Don’t stare at the laser cutting process. It is forbidden to observe the laser beam through a lens such as a magnifying glass to avoid eye damage.
4. Do not place explosives between explosives.
Besides, steel laser cutting machines also has following advantages:The fiber laser cutting method will gradually improve or replace the traditional metal cutting process equipment.
The mechanical part of the laser cutter has no contact with the workpiece, and it will not scratch the surface of the workpiece at work.
The laser cutting speed is fast and the incision is smooth and no need for subsequent processing..
The cutting heat affected area is small, the plate deformation is small, and the slit is narrow(0.1mm~0.3mm).. No mechanical stress,
no shear burr..High machining accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the material surface..
Numerical control programming can process any plane graph
Can cut a large piece of the whole plate without opening the mold and saving time.
Applications Of CNC Laser Cutting Machines for Metal:
It is used widely on advertising signs production, sheet metal structures, production of high and low voltage electrical cabinet, textile machinery parts,
kitchen, auto, machinery, metal technics, saw, electrical parts, glasses, spring, PCB, electrical kettle, medical microelectronics, hardware, tools, etc.

How many finer laser machines are there? What is the difference between them?
At present, the metal laser cutters used for processing and manufacturing mainly include CO2 lasers, YAG lasers, fiber lasers, etc. Among them, high-power CO2 lasers and YAG lasers are more used for high-precision and confidential processing. Fiber matrix fiber lasers have obvious advantages in lowering the threshold, reducing the range of oscillation wavelength and wavelength tunability, and have become an emerging technology in the laser industry.
What thickness can a laser metal cutting machine cut?
At present, the cutting thickness of laser cutting machine is less than 25mm. Compared with other cutting methods, laser cutting machines have obvious advantages in cutting materials smaller than 20mm, and require high precision.
What is the application range of laser cutting machine?
Metal laser cutters have the advantages of high speed, narrow width, good cutting quality, small heat-affected area, and good processing flexibility. Therefore, it is widely used in automobile manufacturing, kitchen industry, sheet metal processing, advertising industry, machinery manufacturing, cabinet processing, elevator manufacturing, fitness equipment and other industries.
As indicated in previous sections, laser cutting is suitable for a wide range of metals and non-metals. However, the material being cut and its properties often limits the suitability of some cutting mechanisms, assist gases, and laser types. Additionally, the material thickness plays a significant factor in the determination of the optimal laser power, assist gas pressure, and focal position for a laser cutting application. Varying materials or varying thicknesses within a single material also necessitate adjustments to the cut speed and depth throughout the cutting process. These adjustments create inconsistencies in production time, as well as increase the turnaround time, especially in large production runs.
One advantage of the laser cutting is the production of high-quality cuts which generally do not require extensive secondary cleaning, treating, or finishing. While in some respect this is advantageous, the resultant work hardening of the laser cut edges may be problematic for some applications. For example, parts requiring further processing, such as powder coating or painting, will first need surface treatment following the laser cutting process before receiving the necessary coating or paint. The addition of this step increases both the turnaround time and total processing costs.
Metal laser cutting is one of the important applications of current laser technology. With the development of fiber laser technology, metal laser cutting has gradually become the main market for laser applications, and laser cutting equipment has gradually become the main force to replace traditional metal cutting equipment.
