1. The main difference between laser cutting machine and plasma cutting machine is the difference in cutting thickness. Of course, there is also the difference in cutting operation costs. The advantage of plasma cutting is that it can cut thick plates, and the price is low, but the cut surface is rough. Laser cutting has a smooth surface and high cutting accuracy, and the price is more expensive than plasma cutting. The disadvantage of plasma cutting is that the cutting gap is large, about 3MM. The most important part of the plasma is the power supply. In fact, the power consumption of the plasma is very large for the laser of the laser cutting machine.
2. The plasma cutting machine is a kind of thermal cutting equipment. The main working principle is compressed air as the main body, using high-temperature and high-speed plasma arc as the heat source to partially melt the cut metal, and at the same time blow away the molten metal with high-speed airflow. Form a narrow slit. The plasma cutting machine can cut various metal materials such as stainless steel, iron, aluminum, copper, etc., and the cutting speed is fast, the slit is narrow, and the cut is flat. Plasma cutting machines are generally used in the construction, installation and maintenance of machinery and metal structures.
3.The laser cutting machine uses a high-power and high-density laser beam to scan the surface of the material. It can heat the material to thousands or even tens of thousands of degrees Celsius in a short period of time, which can melt or vaporize the material, and then use high-pressure gas to melt or Other substances are blown away from the slit. Laser cutting uses an invisible beam to replace the traditional mechanical knife. The laser cutting speed is fast and the cut is smooth. Generally, no post-processing is required. The cutting is less affected by heat and the plate deformation is small.
4.The difference in cutting accuracy, plasma cutting accuracy can reach within 1mm, while laser cutting accuracy can reach within 0.22mm. In terms of cost, plasma cutting machines are cheaper than laser cutting machines. In terms of processing accuracy, plasma cutting is equivalent to rough processing, and laser cutting is equivalent to fine processing.
