There are many types of laser cutting machines. According to the cutting materials, they can be divided into metal laser cutting machines and non-metallic laser cutting machines. According to laser types, they can be divided into fiber laser cutting machines, CO2 laser cutting machines, etc. According to the laser output power classification It can be divided into high-power laser cutting machine, medium-power laser cutting machine, and low-power laser cutting machine. Different types of laser cutting machines have different uses, let's take a look at it together!

1. What types of laser cutting machines are there?

1. According to the type of cutting material

There are two types of metal laser cutting machines and non-metallic laser cutting machines. This is a good distinction. Generally, a metal laser cutting machine is used when metal materials are required, and a non-metal laser cutting machine is used when cutting non-metallic materials.

2. Classification by laser type

According to the laser type of laser cutting machine, it can be divided into three types: fiber laser cutting machine, CO2 gas laser cutting machine, and YAG laser cutting machine that has been eliminated. Now the mainstream type of laser cutting machine in the domestic market is fiber laser cutting machine.

3. Classification by laser output power

According to the laser output power, it can be divided into three types: high-power laser cutting machine, medium-power laser cutting machine, and low-power laser cutting machine. The laser output power required by different application fields is also different. In the industrial field, high-power fiber laser cutting machines are the main ones, while in the laser engraving field, medium-power laser engraving and cutting machines are the main ones.

4. Classification according to the size of the cut sheet

The width of the cutting sheet can be divided into two types: standard format and large format, so the laser cutting machine can also be divided into two types: standard format laser cutting machine and large format laser cutting machine. The cutting length in the X-axis direction of the large-format laser cutting machine is mostly more than 8000mm, and the cutting width in the Y-axis direction is mostly 2500mm, while the cutting area of the standard format cutting machine is generally about 3000mm×1500mm and 4000mm×2000mm.

5. Classification according to the geometric shape of the cutting plate

The types of cutting plates can be divided into flat plates and three-dimensional plates. Flat plates are generally cut by plane laser cutting machines, while three-dimensional plates can be cut by robot laser cutting machines, three-dimensional five-axis laser cutting machines, etc.

6. Classification according to the structure of the cutting machine

According to the structure of the cutting machine, it can be divided into cantilever laser cutting machine and gantry laser cutting machine. The cantilever laser cutting machine adopts an open structure, which is convenient for loading and unloading, and has a low cost. It is welcomed by medium and small owners. The gantry laser cutting machine adopts the bilateral drive mode, which has good dynamic performance, high cutting efficiency, and stable and reliable long-term operation.

7. According to the size of the laser cutting machine

According to the size of the laser cutting machine, it can be divided into small laser cutting machines and large laser cutting machines. Generally, small laser cutting machines are used in industries such as advertising signs and metal handicrafts. Large laser cutting machines are mainly used in sheet metal processing, aerospace and other industries. , machinery manufacturing and other industries.

2. What are the uses of laser cutting machines

1. The purpose of metal laser cutting machine

There are many uses of metal laser cutting machine. It can perform non-contact cutting of metal plates and pipes, especially suitable for cutting stainless steel plates, iron plates and other materials, and has excellent processing effect on various high-hard and brittle alloys. In addition, it can also be used in metal laser engraving, printing and other fields.

2. The use of non-metal laser cutting machine

The non-metal laser cutting machine can be used to cut materials other than metal. The non-metal laser cutting machine has high precision and fast cutting, and is not limited to the cutting pattern. Common ones are fabric laser cutting machine, leather laser cutting machine, electronic laser cutting machine, etc.
