Laser machines and CNC cutting machines have respective advantages in the cutting of materials in the industry. Today we will take a closer look at the differences between laser machines and data cutting machines and which industries are suitable for.
working principle
The laser cutting machine is a laser beam emitted from the laser, which is focused on a high power density laser beam through the optical path system. The laser beam is irradiated to the surface of the work piece, so that the work piece reaches the melting point or boiling point, and the high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam will blow away the molten or vaporized metal. With the movement of the relative position of the beam and the work piece, the material is finally formed into a slit, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting.
The cutting method of CNC cutting is to use blades for physical cutting, so the damage to the flexible material is minimal. The CNC cutting machine draws on the computer, transmits data to the machine control card, and sends pulse signals to the Panasonic servo drive to control the front, rear, left, and right of the machine. Go up and down to reach the movement of the machine, and send signals to the cutter to cut raw materials and other actions. This completes the cutting.
Application industry
Laser cutting machine is suitable for metal materials with higher hardness, acrylic materials and wooden materials
The CNC cutting machine is suitable to include etc. Widely used in clothing, luggage, car interiors, fabric sofas, shoes, textiles, advertising, packaging, metals with low hardness, composite materials and other industries.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of laser cutting machine:
1. High cutting accuracy, suitable for fine cutting of cutting and precision parts, as well as various process features and paintings
2. High cutting quality. Non-contact cutting, the workpiece basically has no thermal deformation,
3. The cutting surface is smooth,
4. Flexible processing
Disadvantage of laser cuttingmachine
Laser machines are suitable for some hard materials that are not easily deformed when exposed to heat. Laser machines are not suitable for flexible materials. Using a laser machine to cut flexible materials will cause a circle of black edges on the edges of the material, because flexible materials will encounter heat. Deformation, so that some materials will be wasted and cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, the cutting of flexible materials is more suitable for CNC cutting machines.
Advantages of CNC cutting machine:
1. High flexibility: electric swing tools are very suitable for cutting flexible materials. With various blades, it is suitable for cutting materials of different hardness
2. High cutting accuracy: Imported high-precision racks are used to make the cutting of thick and hard packaging materials stronger and ensure higher cutting accuracy
3. Low-cost operation: equipped with tool quick-change module, independent research and development of tool quick-change device, to achieve rapid replacement of more than ten tools. The cutter can be switched freely, which is suitable for various flexible materials.
4. Projection positioning system: In the actual cutting process, it is difficult for users to accurately align the material with the cutting pattern. The system can 1:1 project the cutting pattern onto the processing table, which is convenient for users to feed and align.
5. Automatic edge finding: Users can also put irregular materials into the projection area for alignment and cutting, which greatly improves the utilization of materials.
6. The cutting edge is smooth. Different blades and auxiliary tools are equipped with different materials. The cutting edge is smooth and does not waste materials.
Disadvantage of CNC cutting machine
Not suitable for hard metal materials, because the physical cutting blade has limited hardness
The cutting thickness is limited, and the cutting thickness is kept between 0-10CM.
All in all, if you have high precision requirements, both types of cutting machines can achieve.
If you want a high utilization rate of materials, you can choose a CNC cutting machine, because CNC cutting is equipped with a small projector camera and automatic edge finding function, which can maximize the use of your materials.
The choice of the machine depends on your material. The purpose of the machine selection is to maximize production efficiency, and more importantly, quality.
