Comparative analysis of laser cutting machine for high-reflection aluminum plate
Laser cutting machines can be divided into different types according to laser generators, and different types of equipment have their own specialties for different cutting materials. Aluminum plate is a metal material with high anti-cutting resistance. From the perspective of cost and investment, we used fiber laser cutting machines and YAG laser cutting machines as the main ones. Today, we will give you a detailed comparative analysis of aluminum cutting with these two types of equipment.
Laser cutting machines can be divided into different types according to laser generators, and different types of equipment have their own specialties for different cutting materials. Aluminum plate is a metal material with high anti-cutting resistance. From the perspective of cost and investment, we used fiber laser cutting machines and YAG laser cutting machines as the main ones. Today, we will give you a comparative analysis of aluminum cutting for these two types of equipment.
The comparison of aluminum laser cutting machines is considered from three points: cutting quality, cutting speed and production cost (referring to the service life cost).
1. Cutting quality
Aluminum profiles are highly reflective materials, so neither fiber laser cutting machines nor YAG laser cutting machines can process thicker aluminum materials. In addition, aluminum materials are not resistant to high temperature, and burrs are prone to occur in the process of cutting aluminum materials. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on controlling the process to obtain ideal cutting quality.
2. Cutting speed
The cutting speed also needs to be controlled. Too fast cutting speed is easy to produce burrs, and too slow cutting speed will cause cracks in the aluminum material, which will affect the cutting quality, so process control is required. Generally speaking, for the same power laser cutting equipment, the cutting speed of fiber laser cutting machine is higher than that of YAG laser cutting machine.
3. Production cost
The processing cost of laser cutting machine is very low, far lower than other cutting processes. As a comparison between fiber laser cutting machine and YAG laser cutting machine, the cost of fiber laser cutting is lower than that of YAG laser cutting machine, which requires frequent replacement of laser lamp accessories, but from a long-term perspective, aluminum materials are more expensive than fiber laser cutting machines. The damage of the laser is more serious, which greatly reduces the life of the laser. From this point of view, the cost of YAG is lower than that of the fiber laser cutting machine.
From the analysis of the above three points, we can see that in the cutting of aluminum materials, these two types of laser cutting machines have their own advantages and disadvantages. Customers can choose the appropriate machine according to their own conditions and needs.
