Advantages And Precautions of Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Cutting Carbon Steel

Fiber laser cutting machine is a device that uses high-energy-density laser beams to cut materials. It has the advantages of high speed, high precision, high efficiency, and high flexibility. Fiber laser cutting machines can cut various metal materials, among which carbon steel is a common application field. This article will introduce the advantages and precautions of fiber laser cutting machines for cutting carbon steel.

1. High cutting quality.
The diameter of the spot formed by focusing the laser beam of the fiber laser cutting machine is very small, so the cutting edge is fine, the slit is narrow, the heat affected zone is small, the deformation is small, the cutting surface is smooth and smooth, and no secondary processing is required.

2. Fast cutting speed.
The fiber laser cutting machine has high laser power and high cutting efficiency. The cutting speed can reach tens of meters per minute, which is much higher than traditional cutting methods.

3. Low cutting cost.
Fiber laser cutting machines have low operating costs, low power consumption, long laser life, and easy maintenance. They do not need to consume gas and other auxiliary materials, saving cutting material and labor costs.

4. High cutting flexibility.
The laser beam of the fiber laser cutting machine can cut in any direction, can cut patterns of any shape, can adapt to complex processing needs, and can be combined with a CNC system to achieve automated and intelligent cutting.

1. Select appropriate laser parameters.
Laser parameters include laser power, cutting speed, focus position, auxiliary gas pressure, etc. These parameters will affect the quality and efficiency of cutting and need to be adjusted according to factors such as the thickness, hardness, and surface condition of the carbon steel.

2. Control cutting temperature.
Carbon steel will undergo an oxidation reaction at high temperatures, causing an oxide layer to appear on the cutting surface, which will affect the smoothness and accuracy of cutting. Therefore, it is necessary to control the cutting temperature to avoid overheating or overcooling and use appropriate auxiliary gases, such as nitrogen or inert gases, to Prevent oxidation.

3. Prevent cutting sparks from flying.
A large number of sparks will be generated during the cutting process. If they splash onto the laser head or other components, they will cause damage or malfunction, affecting the normal progress of cutting. Therefore, you need to pay attention to protecting the laser head and other components, and regularly clean the debris and dust on the cutting bed.

4. Regular inspection and maintenance.
Fiber laser cutting machine is a precision equipment that requires regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its performance and stability, extend its service life, and improve its cutting effect. Inspection and maintenance include laser, optical fiber, laser head, and CNC system. , cooling system, auxiliary gas system, etc.

In short, fiber laser cutting machines cut carbon steel with the advantages of high quality, high speed, low cost, and high flexibility. It is an advanced cutting technology, but it also needs to pay attention to laser parameters, cutting temperature, spark splash, and equipment inspection and maintenance. aspects to ensure the safety and effectiveness of cutting.
