Laser Head Cutting: Suitable for Processing a Variety of Materials

Laser head cutting technology has irreplaceable advantages in improving processing efficiency. High-speed and high-precision cutting technology makes it an indispensable processing equipment in many industries.

1. Laser Cutting Technology Overview

The laser head is the output device of the laser cutting machine. Through the optical path system, it is focused into a high-power density laser beam. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the material, reaches the melting point of the material, and finally forms a slit in the material to achieve the purpose of cutting.
Under the movement of the control system and the machine tool, the laser head moves along the cutting trajectory predetermined by the system to cut the material. The application of laser cutting machines in production is becoming more and more extensive. As the key part of the laser head cutting machine to achieve cutting, the quality of the laser head directly affects the quality of cutting.

2. Mixed Cutting Head

The heat generated by the laser beam after focusing is used to melt the surrounding materials to achieve cutting.
The mixed cutting head can easily replace focusing lenses with different focal lengths, and the long and short focal lengths can be matched to achieve the processing of different materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized sheet and other metal materials; acrylic, density board, wood board and other non-metallic materials.

3. Non-Metallic Follow-Up Head

The laser beam enters the inner cavity of the cutting head through the reflector, and through the focusing lens, the energy of the laser beam is concentrated at a certain point, and the surrounding materials are melted at high temperature to form processing marks to achieve the laser head cutting effect. The non-metallic follow-up head moves the focusing lens according to the undulation of the material surface, changes the position of the focus, and keeps the position of the focus at a certain distance from the board surface, so as to accurately cut the material. It can process a variety of materials such as acrylic, density board, wood board, cloth, etc.

4. Key Components of a Laser Head Cutting System

• Laser Source: Generates the laser beam (e.g., CO2, fiber, or Nd:YAG lasers).
• Laser Head: Focuses the laser beam onto the material and often includes a nozzle for assist gases.
• Motion System: Controls the movement of the laser head, typically using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology.
• Assist Gases: Gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, or air are used to enhance the cutting process and improve edge quality.

5. Advantages of Laser Head

• Fast cutting speed

It can complete the cutting of large-area materials in a short time, with fast laser head cutting speed and high efficiency.

• High cutting accuracy

It moves according to the path issued by the system, has a high-precision cutting function, and can achieve accurate cutting of various shapes.

• Good cutting quality

The cutting edge is smooth and flat, without burrs, burrs, and sawtooth, and the cutting quality is more stable and excellent.

Summary

Laser head cutting technology is a powerful tool for processing a diverse range of materials. Its precision, efficiency, and versatility make it an ideal choice for various applications across multiple industries. As technology continues to advance, laser cutting will likely play an even more significant role in manufacturing and fabrication, enabling the creation of complex designs and high-quality products with minimal waste. Whether in metalworking, textiles, or woodworking, laser head cutting remains a preferred method for achieving superior results.
