Definition and principle of plasma cutting machine and fiber laser cutting machine
Plasma cutting machine is a kind of equipment that uses high energy plasma to cut metal. Its principle is to use high temperature plasma to fuse metal to achieve the effect of cutting processing. Fiber cutting machine is the use of fiber laser for metal cutting, the principle is that the laser beam is transmitted through the fiber to the surface of the workpiece to produce melting, and with the help of gas to blow the metal, so as to achieve the cutting of the metal.
the advantages and disadvantages of plasma cutting machine and fiber laser cutter
1. Advantages of plasma cutting machine:
(1) Plasma cutting machine can cut a variety of materials, such as steel, iron, copper, aluminum, etc.;
(2) The equipment price is relatively low, and the maintenance is relatively simple;
(3) Fast cutting speed, suitable for mass cutting production.
2. Disadvantages of plasma cutting machine:
(1) The cutting accuracy is relatively low, not suitable for fine processing;
(2) There is a large heat-affected zone on the cutting surface, which is easy to produce burrs;
(3) The edge of the metal incision is rough and not smooth enough.
3. Advantages of fiber cutting machine:
(1) Faster cutting speed, higher precision, smooth incision without burrs;
(2) Suitable for fine processing, high cutting efficiency;
(3) Suitable for metal processing of various shapes, and the cutting thickness is not high.
4. Disadvantages of optical fiber cutting machine:
(1) The equipment price is relatively high, and the maintenance is difficult;
(2) Only applicable to metal cutting;
(3) Warping and other problems need attention.
how to choose their own cutting method
1. Consider the type of material you need to cut, if you include non-metallic items, you can only choose plasma cutting machine.
2. Determine the accuracy and surface requirements according to the cutting process requirements. If the cutting accuracy requirements are higher, the optical fiber cutting machine is preferred.
3. According to the number of cuts required, if only a small amount needs to be cut, the plasma cutting machine is preferred.
4. Consider your own purchase budget, if the budget is small, the plasma cutting machine is preferred.
In short, when choosing the cutting method, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the factors such as process, materials, accuracy, production efficiency and their own purchase budget, comprehensively compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two cutting methods, and choose the most important cutting method for yourself.
