The laser cut aluminum can be used in the exterior and interior decoration and modeling of buildings. People often see these aluminum laser products in airports, exhibition halls, subways stations, office buildings, shopping malls, and office buildings. Of course, the aluminum can also be engraved by using an aluminum laser engraving machine. And the laser engraving aluminum, especially for laser engraving anodized aluminum, is mostly used in electronic parts processing industries.

Why choose the laser machine to produce laser cut aluminum?

The laser cut aluminum has superior features better than aluminum processed by traditional mechanical cutters. The following introduces some unique features of laser cut aluminum and laser engraving aluminum.

Features of laser cut aluminum and laser engraving aluminum:

  • The cutting seam of laser cut aluminum is fine.

The cutting seam of laser cut aluminum plate is generally from 0.1mm-0.2mm.

  • Smooth cutting surface

The cutting surface of laser cut aluminum plate has no burrs and no dross.

  • No mechanical deformation

The laser head does not contact the laser cutting aluminum plate and there is no problem with machining tool wear. The work-piece is not affected by the machining force.

  • Small thermal deformation

The processing of laser cut aluminum or laser engraving aluminum plate is thin, fast, and energy concentrated. And the heat transferred to the aluminum material to be cut is focused on one point. Therefore, the deformation of the laser cut aluminum is none or very small.

  • Material saving

The aluminum laser cutting machine adopts computer programming, can cut aluminum plates of different shapes as needed, without using the mold. And it improves the material utilization rate of aluminum plate, increases working efficiency, and saves a lot of material cost.

For example, the laser cutting thin aluminum plate processed by the laser aluminum cutting machine has a strong three-dimensional effect. Such laser cut aluminum also owns beautiful and precise patterns and has a more qualitative feeling. And the laser cutting aluminum plate is mostly used for interior and exterior wall decoration of buildings. It can provide shade, ventilation, and beautify the appearance of buildings, and also increase a lot of sense of art. In addition, the hollow aluminum plate can be 100% reusable, which is of environmental protection.

The laser power is high density, and the aluminum material absorbs the laser and melts or vaporizes. Even the metal materials with a high melting point, high hardness, and brittleness can be processed by laser aluminum cutting machines.

Features of the aluminum laser cutting machine:

  1. Laser cut aluminum processing is to use the energy of the laser to reach a very high energy density at the focal point after being focused by focusing. And the aluminum material absorbs laser to heat and vaporizes to achieve the cutting process. Laser cutting processing does not require traditional tools. The laser is like an “invisible knife”, which has the characteristics of fast processing speed and small material deformation.
  2. The spot diameter of the laser beam of the aluminum laser cutting machine can be as small as microns. And the time of processing the laser cut aluminum can be as short as possible. At the same time, the continuous output power of the high-power laser of the aluminum laser cutting machine can reach the kilowatts to ten kilowatts. Therefore, the laser aluminum cutting machine is suitable for both precision processing and for large-scale laser aluminum plate processing.
  3. The laser beam of the aluminum laser cutting machine, combined with precision machinery, precision measurement technology, and computer, can achieve a high degree of automation and high processing accuracy.

How is laser cut aluminum produced?

The aluminum laser cutting machine generates the laser to irradiate the aluminum with a focused high-power-density laser beam. The laser will quickly melt and vaporize the aluminum material. At the same time, the molten material is blown away by the high-speed airflow coaxial with the beam to realize the cutting of the aluminum. Thus the laser cut aluminum with designed patterned is produced. Moreover, the laser has the characteristics of fast processing speed and small material deformation.

Using an aluminum laser cutting machine can complete the processing of laser cut aluminum and laser engraving aluminum. The machine cuts aluminum into different shapes and makes various exquisite patterns and letters. Usually, the aluminum laser cutting machine is mainly composed of three parts: computer, main machine, and controller. And the users can design the sizes and patterns of the laser cutting aluminum plate through the laser processing software on the computer. They can also set up the depth and position of the aluminum laser cutting. The design information of laser cut or laser engraving aluminum will be automatically transmitted to the controller. And the controller converts this information into signals that can drive the motor. And then it controls the laser head to generate the engraving or cutting path.

Meanwhile, the laser head configured according to the material on the aluminum laser cutting machine rotates at a high speed. And the laser will cut the aluminum plate based on the program instructions. After processing by aluminum laser cutting machine, the aluminum can be hollowed and made into different shapes and design patterns. More importantly, the laser cut or laser engraving aluminum has smooth and tidy edges, without further processing, realizing automatic laser aluminum processing.
