Laser cutting principle

Laser cutting process and cost

Laser cutting is almost the most advanced cutting technology in the world. It can cut most metal and non-metal materials. You can see its application everywhere no matter you are in the automotive industry, construction machinery, home appliance industry, etc. It has the advantages of precision manufacturing, flexible cutting, special-shaped processing, one-time molding, fast speed, and high efficiency, and can solve many problems that cannot be solved by conventional methods.

Laser cutting principle

  Laser cutting uses a laser beam emitted by a laser generator. After being focused by a lens, it forms a very small high-energy spot at the focus, so that the spot is focused on the appropriate position of the material. The laser energy is absorbed by the material and is quickly vaporized, melted, and ablated. Or reach the ignition point, and use high-pressure auxiliary gas (including carbon dioxide gas, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) to blow away the melted waste residue. The laser head is driven by a program-controlled servo motor. The cutting head moves along a predetermined route as the beam moves on the material, thereby cutting out workpieces of various shapes.
