Working principle and advantages of laser cutting machine

The laser cutting machine works by generating a beam that is then sent through an optical system to the cutting head. Once there, the beam is focused to a little point with a high-energy density laser spot and shone onto the workpiece.This part is melted, vaporized or burned up quickly, and it’s immediately blown away with help of strong airflow. That’s how the machine cuts.

Here are the main advantages we get:

Cutting quality is top-tier: The machine has high cutting accuracy, narrow slit, smooth cutting surface, small heat-affected zone, and small deformation. It doesn’t leave burrs or slag either.

Efficiency: One of these can cut several meters or even tens of meters per minute which brings great production efficiency. And if you still need a worker to do it all manually then you get a free automation

reduction for them. Costs less too.

Flexibility: Those same workers getting slowly replaced with machines don’t have to worry about another job loss because of this one! That's because this laser thing can cut pretty much any shape without swapping

tools. You just gotta change the program around not your whole workflow around to switch graphics.

Cutting Materials: If there was ever a flexible machine then this would be it! It cuts every type of material you might need including steel and wood! Doesn't matter what their brittleness or melting point is at either.

Laser cutting machines are used in a wide range of applications like machinery manufacturing and metal processing so its definitely here to stay.
