GSS Machinery high-speed CO2 laser machines come in a variety of configuations to fit your budget and application processing needs.
Laser cutting is one of the thermal cutting methods, which can do vaporization cutting, fusion cutting, oxygen cutting, dicing and controlled fracture. It has replaced the traditional mechanical cutters with invisible laser beams. It has advantages of high speed, high precision, high quality, low machining cost, automatic typesetting, smooth cut edges for any shapes and designs. It is an upgrade to traditional cutting tools. In addition to the advantages, it also has its own shortcomings and limitations.
High energy density spots are formed by focusing the laser beam's energies. The medium and extended focusing lens are suitable for thick plates cutting. It also has very low spacing stability requirements. The shorter focusing lens is best suited for thin sheets cutting. This requires high spacing stability of the tracking systems and greatly reduces output power requirements.
The optical path system concentrates the laser beam produced by the laser generator to produce a beam with high power density. The beam is irradiated onto part surfaces to cause them to reach a boiling point. In addition, the beam's high-pressure gas coaxial blows away molten materials. The beam moves in relation to the part. This allows the material to be cut.
The origin of fiber laser is seed laser which is amplified and magnified using special optical fibers. The more common name for fiber laser cutters is a solid-state laser.
It is important to clean the motor ring regularly to maintain the machine's normal operation and precise cutting.
An automatic 5 axis laser cutting robot has a price range from $49,000 to $83,500 for flexible 3D dynamic metal cut of multi-angle and multi-dimensional in industrial manufacturing.
First, check that all the connections are correct. This includes power supply, exhaust system, and PC. Visually inspect the condition of your machine. Make sure all machinery is moving freely and there is no material underneath the processing table. Clean the work area, including optical components, and wash them if necessary. You can find more information in the "General Maintenance” section. Check the exhaust system, and if necessary, start the cooling. Verify that the exhaust system's filter and activated carb are installed according to the instructions. After checking, close your protective cover.
CO2 laser cutters cannot cut reflective and conductive materials but the fiber laser can. But, there are certain aspects in which CO2 laser cutters are better than fiber laser cutters. Primarily when the manufacturers have to work on some thicker metals where good edge quality is required, they choose CO2 laser cutters.
A laser generator refers to a component that creates a beam. Fiber laser generators work well with all types and thicknesses of sheet metals. CO2 laser generators work well for plastic, wood, acrylic, leather, foam, thin metals, and fabric.
The basic principle of the operation is to guide the beam of a pro laser beam with high power to melt the materials so that the edge has an excellent surface finish.
Based on the description of the types of laser cutters, let us now take you to the tips and suggestions that might help you while choosing a laser cutting or engraving machine.
Adjust the position for the cutting head. After all preparations have been made, you are able to start cutting.
What is the average cost of a used or new laser cutting machine to start your own business? What's the average cost for your area? The best budget laser cutter will cost you between $2600 and $300,000. That includes shipping, taxes, customs, clearance, service, technical support, as well as the price of shipping. Costs vary depending on the brand and what extra features you desire, such as personalized design, customized size, laser generator power, rotary attach, controller, parts and accessories, upgrades, configuration, debugging and other special features. Here's the average cost of each item.
Thickness: A 40W to 45W CO2 laser, such as the Muse Core or 3D autofocus, can generally cut up to 14" thick wood, whereas a 90W tube laser, such as the P-Series PS24 or Muse Titan, can cut up to 12" thick wood.
High-wattage laser cutting machines, on the other hand, are typically much more expensive than entry-level models. Some laser cutter models range in price from $4,000 to $15,000.
Laser power of 80W. A laser can typically cut up to 10mm acrylic and up to 9mm soft woods.
