How can Plate And Tube Integrated Laser Cutting Machine maintain an efficient and stable cutting speed when processing plates of different thicknesses and materials?
Publish Time: 2024-07-03
When processing plates of different thicknesses and materials, the Plate And Tube Integrated Laser Cutting Machine should maintain an efficient and stable cutting speed while reducing the heat-affected zone and burrs. The following aspects can be considered and optimized:
1. Adjust cutting parameters
Laser power:
Select the appropriate laser power according to the type, thickness and required cutting quality of the cutting material. Too high power will increase the heat effect and cause the heat-affected zone to expand; too low power may not be able to complete the cutting task or the cutting speed may be too slow.
Cutting speed:
Adjust the cutting speed appropriately while ensuring the cutting quality. Too fast cutting speed may lead to a decrease in cutting quality, such as an increase in burrs; too slow speed will waste time and reduce efficiency.
Focal length:
Adjust the focal length of the laser beam to ensure that the laser energy is optimally concentrated at the cutting point to reduce energy loss and the range of the heat-affected zone.
2. Use auxiliary technology
Gas assist:
Use appropriate gas (such as oxygen, nitrogen or mixed gas) as auxiliary cutting gas. Gas can not only help remove waste and oxides generated in the cutting area and improve cutting quality, but also take away some heat and reduce the heat-affected zone.
When high-purity oxygen is used as an auxiliary gas, it can increase the oxidation reaction at the slit and further take away heat.
Cooling system:
For thicker materials, use a cooling system to spray water or other cooling media to the cutting area to quickly reduce heat and prevent material overheating and deformation.
3. Optimize machine settings
Guide rail and beam installation:
Ensure that the guide rail is installed parallel and firmly, and the beam, coupling and other components are installed in place and locked to reduce resistance and vibration during machine operation and maintain cutting stability and accuracy.
Focus position adjustment:
The focus position should be accurately set on the surface of the material or slightly deeper into the material to obtain the best cutting effect. Too deep or too shallow a focus position may result in reduced cutting quality and an expansion of the heat-affected zone.
4. Equipment maintenance and care
Regular maintenance:
Clean, inspect and repair the laser cutting machine regularly to ensure that the machine is in good condition. Pay special attention to cleaning optical components (such as lenses, focusing mirrors, etc.), keep the optical path unobstructed, and improve the utilization rate of laser energy.
Replace wearing parts:
Replace wearing parts such as cutting heads and nozzles in time to avoid reduced cutting quality and efficiency due to wear.
5. Improve operator skills
Operators should be proficient in the operation methods and parameter adjustment techniques of laser cutting machines. Solve problems in actual production through experience and skills, improve work efficiency and cutting quality.
6. Optimize cutting sequence and path
When cutting multiple workpieces, plan the cutting sequence and path reasonably, reduce the no-load moving distance and time of the cutting head, and improve the overall cutting efficiency.
In summary, in order to maintain an efficient and stable cutting speed while reducing the heat-affected zone and burrs, Plate And Tube Integrated Laser Cutting Machine needs to be comprehensively considered and optimized from multiple aspects, including adjusting cutting parameters, adopting auxiliary technologies, optimizing machine settings, equipment maintenance, improving operator skills, and optimizing cutting sequence and path.
