Metal laser cutting machine

  SHOULD I PAY FOR LASER CUTTING SERVICES OR INVEST IN MY OWN MACHINE? From OEMs to shipbuilders, companies in a wide variety of industries require cutting of metal plates or sheet metal as part of their manufacturing process. Very simple components are sometimes produced by guillotine but the majority of parts require more sophisticated machinery and expertise and many companies turn to specialized external laser cutting services.   But is an external laser cutting service truly the right choice for your specific metal fabrication needs? Or would it, in fact, be smarter to acquire a CNC metal cutting machine yourself? By using an external laser cutting service you avoid the high capital investment needed for purchasing a machine, whilst relying on sub-contractors metal cutting expertise. However, because of the increased flexibility & speed, lower cost per part and keeping control in house, purchasing a metal cutting machine will often pay back within 1–2 years. hsglase...

 What is a fiber laser cutting machine , what are its applications and advantage The word “laser” is an acronym that stands for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation” and a laser beam is a highly focused wavelength radiation that will not dissipate. Laser cutting allows for tighter accuracies on a smaller scale than any other metal cutting method. Products Produced Aerospace and automotive manufacturing industries use laser cutting to fabricate pieces like precision parts, gaskets, solar cells, nozzles, and circuit boards. Cell phone parts, transducers, microchips, and military and communication devices rely on laser cutting as well. Even water piping and refrigeration systems have some laser cut elements. In the medical industry, laser cutting is used to drill hypo-tubes, catheter holes, filtering devices, gas flow orifices and other highly intricate devices. History Laser cutting technology is an innovation of the mid-20th century. While Albert Einstein theoriz...

 Are you worried that the laser cutting quality on finished products cannot be used because of various defects in the pipe itself, such as deformation, bending, etc.?   In the process of selling laser pipe cutting machines , some customers are very concerned about this problem, because when you purchase a batch of pipes, there will always be more or less uneven quality, and you can’t throw away when these pipes are discarded, how to improve the utilization rate of pipes and reduce the scrap rate is the problem that our laser pipe cutting machine must solve. So, today we will talk about how to complete high-quality laser cutting of deformed pipes.   1. The pipe feeding part, that is, an automatic centering device is added before laser cutting, which can realize physical correction for thin pipes and pipes with little deformation, that is, correction before cutting to further reduce the deformation of the pipe itself. This leads to deterioration in laser cutting. 2. Using ...

 What is the approximate price of buying a fiber laser cutting machine ? There is no simple answer to this question, because it depends on so many factors. As previously mentioned, the demands you place on the laser cutting machine play a key role. This has an impact on the size and capacity of the system. The peripheral equipment is also an aspect that must be considered: For example, do the workflows require an automatic loading and unloading system? If you decide to buy a laser cutting machine, you should not only focus on the costs of the purchase itself, but also evaluate the total cost of ownership, calculated over the machine’s entire service life, including maintenance costs and machine downtime. In addition, your staff’s current technical skills and their training needs must also be addressed. Companies that do not consider these factors often make decisions that can have dire and long-lasting consequences: They choose a cheap system. Poor quality, the lack of know-how and...

  How important is the customer service of the fiber laser cutting machine ？ Very important! Current fiber technology does not require the same level of maintenance as CO2 technology, but if a machine breaks down, it is imperative to get it back up and running as soon as possible. CO2 lasers require extensive and time-consuming maintenance. It is not unusual for a service technician to be on site for up to three straight days. CO2 lasers require servicing every 12 months or every 2,000 operating hours. With increasing service life, the overhauls required (for example of the resonator, optical components, and beam path) increase. In comparison, the maintenance of fiber laser machines is considerably less time and cost intensive. A fiber laser has fewer parts that require maintenance, which translates into real cost and time savings. Thus, the time required for maintenance and inspection of fiber lasers is significantly reduced and usually takes just a few hours. However, both lase...

What is the market prospect of laser cutting machine? 15 years ago, there were perhaps no more than 20 laser cutting machine OEMs, and the industry was dominated by a handful of leading suppliers. In the meantime, however, the market has opened up, and today, there are a multitude laser cutting machine manufacturers on the market. The number of suppliers of other components, such as software and CNC controls, has also increased dramatically, with the result that virtually anyone with a modicum of know-how can now produce a fiber laser cutting machine. This development has resulted in the market being flooded with cheap equipment, and this is precisely where the problem lies: Sheet metal processing companies are faced with a large number of new suppliers who have little process knowledge, do not guarantee spare parts availability, and do not offer any customer services, because their only goal is to sell at low costs in order to increase their own market share. This often results in the...
