Carbon dioxide laser cutting machine three advantages and two disadvantages Carbon dioxide laser cutting machine, that is, we often say CO2 laser cutting machine, and fiber laser cutting machine is widely used in many processing industries, it is relative to the traditional cutting mode; It has many advantages, but it also has some disadvantages. CO2 laser cutting machine main advantages: 1, the power is large, the general power is between 2000-4000W, can cut the full size of stainless steel, carbon steel and other conventional materials within 25 mm, as well as aluminum plate within 4 mm and acrylic plate within 60MM, wood material plate, PVC plate. And it is very fast when cutting thin sheets. 2. The reflectivity of CO2 laser on aluminum alloy is also high. The installation of the back reflection isolator can effectively protect the CO2 laser, so that the aluminum alloy can be safely cut. 3, because the output of the CO2 laser is a continuous laser, when cutting, the cutting section effect of these three laser cutting machines is smoother and better than the other two. Disadvantages of CO2 laser cutting machine 1, CO2 laser can not cut copper, including brass, copper. If you need to cut copper, only fiber lasers are good enough. For CO2 laser, copper is a highly reflective material, and the laser is almost all reflected and not absorbed; The reflected light returns to the laser, causing harm. 2, the cost is high, high-power CO2 laser cutting machine has reached more than 2 million, and the maintenance cost is high, the photoelectric conversion rate in the use of the process is only 10%, and the energy consumption is high. It is not convenient to maintain and requires high operation.
