The core advantages of laser cutting in sheet metal processing are non-contact high-precision forming, extreme flexibility without the need for molds, and the perfect combination of high material utilization and comprehensive cost advantages.
Detailed explanation of core advantages
High precision and excellent incision quality: fine spot size (0.1-0.3mm), size tolerance can be controlled within ± 0.05mm; The cutting seam is narrow, the heat affected zone is small, the cross section is flat without burrs, and most working conditions do not require secondary polishing and can be directly bent or welded.
Zero mold flexible manufacturing: No need for mold opening, CAD drawings are directly connected to equipment, and single piece sampling and complex shaped parts can be quickly formed; Support mixed cutting, changing models only requires modifying the program, greatly reducing the delivery cycle of new products.
Non contact and stress free processing: No mechanical tool compression, avoiding sheet (starting from 0.3mm) collapse or warping deformation, maintaining material integrity, suitable for high-precision structural components.
Maximizing material utilization: With extremely narrow cutting seams and intelligent common edge layout algorithm, the utilization rate of sheet metal is increased by 10% -20% compared to traditional punching/shearing, significantly reducing raw material costs.
High efficiency and versatility: Cutting speed far exceeds plasma and wire cutting, capable of processing 0.2mm to 25mm+of various metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, etc.), and supporting 24-hour automated unmanned production.
Shortcomings compared to traditional craftsmanship
Scissor machine: limited to linear cutting, unable to achieve irregular shape and hole processing.
Punching machine: Complex parts require high mold costs, single piece costs are extremely high, and thin plates are prone to deformation.
Flame/plasma: large thermal deformation, rough cutting surface, and difficult to cut stainless steel and aluminum materials.
Wire cutting: The speed is too slow and not suitable for batch sheet metal cutting.
