What are the Advantages of CO2 Laser Cutting?

CO2 laser cutting uses carbon dioxide laser for laser cutting, which belongs to gas molecular laser. CO2 laser machine cutting is affected by the wavelength of solid laser when cutting plates, and the cutting quality is different when cutting plates of different thicknesses. The wavelength of CO2 laser is 10.6um, with good stability and energy conversion efficiency of 25%. This article mainly introduces the advantages of CO2 laser machine cutting.

• High Precision CO2 Laser Cutting

Positioning accuracy 0.05mm, repeated positioning accuracy 0.02mm.

• Narrow Slit

The laser beam is focused into a very small light spot, so that the focus reaches a very high power density, and the material is quickly heated to the degree of gasification and evaporates to form holes. As the beam and the material move linearly relative to each other, the holes continuously form a very narrow slit. The incision width is generally 0.10-0.20mm.

• Smooth Cutting Surface

There is no burr on the cutting surface, and the surface roughness of the incision is generally controlled within Ra12.5.

• Fast Speed

The co2 laser cutting speed can reach 10m/min, and the maximum positioning speed can reach 70m/min, which is much faster than the speed of wire cutting.

• Good Cutting Quality

Contactless cutting, the cutting edge is little affected by heat, there is basically no thermal deformation of the workpiece, and the collapsed edge formed during material punching and shearing is completely avoided. The cutting seam generally does not require secondary processing.

• No Damage to the Workpiece

The co2 laser cutting head will not contact the surface of the material to ensure that the workpiece is not scratched.

• Not Affected by the Hardness of the Cut Material

Steel plates, stainless steel, aluminum alloy plates, hard alloys, etc. can be processed. No matter what the hardness, deformation-free cutting can be performed.

• Not Affected by the Shape of the Workpiece

Good flexibility, co2 laser cutting can process any graphics, can cut pipes and other special-shaped materials.

• Can Cut Non-Metallic Materials

Such as plastics, wood, PVC, leather, textiles and plexiglass.

• Save Mold Investment

No mold is required, no mold consumption, no need to repair the mold, save mold replacement time, thereby saving processing costs, reducing production costs, especially suitable for the processing of large products.

• Save Materials

Using computer programming, products with different shapes can be cut into whole sheet materials to maximize the utilization of materials.

Summary

CO2 laser cutting is replacing some traditional cutting methods, especially the cutting of various non-metallic materials. It is an advanced processing method that is developing rapidly and is increasingly widely used.
