Laser Cutter Components and Their Functions

Laser cutting machine is an advanced processing equipment that uses high-energy laser beams to cut materials. To better use the metal laser cutting machine, you must understand the laser cutter components and the functions of each part, so that the role of the laser cutting machine can be maximized. Let's take a look.

1. Fiber Laser

Laser is the core "power source" of laser equipment, and it is also an expensive fiber laser cutter component like a car engine.

2. Motor

It is a key component of the motion system. The characteristics of the motor directly affect the actual effect and productivity of product production and processing. At present, common motors include servo motors and AC servo motors. According to the industry type and product category of the production and processing structure, the appropriate motor is equipped.

3. Machine Tool

Fiber cutting machine has very high requirements for the reliability of CNC lathes. The popular CNC lathes on the market at present include gantry type, cantilever type, load-bearing beam type, etc. Different CNC lathes have different functions.

4. Cutting Head

The laser cutting head is the laser output device of the equipment. It consists of a nozzle, a focusing lens and a focusing tracking system. The laser cutting head will move according to the set laser cutting motion trajectory, but under different materials, different thicknesses, and different laser cutting methods, the aspect ratio of the fiber laser cutting head must be adjusted.

5. Laser Lens

The laser lens is widely used in the equipment. Many electronic optical components are equipped with laser lenses, and different lenses have different functions.

6. CNC System

The control system is the main operating system of the precision fiber laser cutting machine and the "brain" of the laser cutting machine. It mainly controls the machine tool to realize the movement of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis, and also controls the output power of the laser. Its quality determines the stability of the operating performance of the fiber laser cutting machine. Through software control, the cutting effect can be improved.

7. Cooling System

During the laser cutting process, the laser and cutting head may overheat due to high temperature, so a cooling system is required to maintain their normal operating temperature. Water cooling or air cooling is usually used.

8. Smoke and Dust Removal System

The smoke and exhaust gas generated during the cutting process need to be removed in time to keep the working environment clean and avoid affecting the equipment and operators. The fume and dust removal system removes these harmful substances through exhaust and filtering devices.

Summary

All these laser cutter components work together to make the laser cutting machine an efficient and precise material cutting tool, which is widely used in the processing industry of metal, stainless steel, plastic, wood and other materials.
