How thick a metal laser cutting machine can cut?


Generally speaking, the thickness limit values of different power laser cutting machines for cutting various materials are as follows:

Let me say in advance. The following data is for reference only. Due to many external factors, the actual cutting capacity is also related to the quality of the laser cutting machine, cutting environment, auxiliary gas, cutting speed and other factors.

In the actual application process, the cutting ability of the laser cutting machine is also related to the quality of the cutting machine, laser type, cutting environment, cutting speed and other factors. The use of auxiliary gas can also improve a certain cutting ability, so there is no absolute standard. Determine the cutting thickness. For example, the cutting of carbon steel mainly relies on oxygen combustion, while the cutting of stainless steel mainly relies on power. Generally, a 1000w metal laser cutting machine can cut carbon steel plates of about 10mm, and stainless steel plates are slightly difficult to cut. If you want to increase the cutting thickness, you have to sacrifice the edge effect and speed.
