CO2 laser cutting advantages

The advantages of CO2 laser cutting technology over other methods are:

1. Good cutting quality

Laser cutting engineering drawing incision width is narrow (generally 0.1-0.5m), high accuracy (general hole center distance error 0.1-0.4mm, profile size error 0.1-0.5mm), incision surface roughness is good (generally Ra is 12.5-25μm), slit generally do not need to be reprocessed to weld.

2. Fast cutting speed

For example, using 2KW laser power, the cutting speed of 8mm thick carbon steel is 1.6m/min; 2mm thick stainless steel cutting speed of 3.5m/min, small heat affected zone, minimal deformation.

3. Clean, safe and pollution-free

Laser cutting engineering drawing (2) greatly improves the working environment of the operator. Of course, in terms of accuracy and incision surface roughness, CO2 laser cutting can not exceed electric machining; In terms of cutting thickness, it is difficult to reach the level of flame and plasma cutting. However, the above significant advantages are enough to prove that CO2 laser cutting has been and is replacing a part of the traditional cutting process methods, especially the cutting of various non-metallic materials. It is an advanced processing method that develops rapidly and is used more and more widely.

Since the 1990s, due to the development of China’s socialist market economy, the competition among enterprises is fierce, and each enterprise must correctly select some advanced manufacturing technologies according to its own conditions to improve product quality and production efficiency. Therefore, CO2 laser cutting technology has achieved rapid development in China.
