What are the advantages of a laser cutting machine?
1.technical advantage
High precision and high flexibility:
Micrometer-level accuracy: Positioning accuracy reaches 0.05mm, repeat positioning accuracy is 0.02mm, cutting seam width is only 0.10-0.20mm, and complex patterns can be cut without burrs (such as hollow engraving of car dashboard).
Any shape cutting: Complex structures such as pipes and irregular parts can be processed without molds, especially suitable for small-batch customized production (such as personalized metal artworks).
High efficiency and low cost:
Speed leadership: The cutting speed can reach 10m/min, which is 5-10 times faster than wire cutting. For example, the efficiency of a 500W fiber laser cutting machine cutting 1mm stainless steel plate is 1.6 times that of traditional YAG equipment.
Elimination of mold costs: Saves mold design, manufacturing and replacement costs, especially suitable for large-scale processing (such as engineering machinery structural components), with a comprehensive cost reduction of over 30%.
Wide material compatibility:
Compatible with both metals and non-metals: It can cut metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and titanium alloy, as well as non-metal materials like acrylic, wood, and fabric.
