A laser cutting machine is a kind of equipment that utilizes a laser beam as a cutting tool, widely used in the cutting and processing of metal, non-metal, and other materials 3000W laser cutting machine is a kind of equipment more common in the market present, with high cutting precision and efficiency. In this article, we will introduce in detail the cutting capacity, scope of application, working principle, operation precautions, and other aspects of the 3000W laser cutting machine.

Cutting capacity of 3000W laser cutting machine

Cutting thickness

The cutting thickness of the 3000W laser cutting machine is affected by a variety of factors, such as laser power, cutting speed, material type, and so on. Generally speaking, a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut the thickness range of 0.5mm-20mm. specifically:

 

l For carbon steel, a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut the thickness range of 0.5mm-20mm.

l For stainless steel, a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut the thickness range of 0.5mm-12mm.

l For aluminum alloy, 3000W laser cutting machine can cut the thickness range of 0.5mm-8mm.

l For copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals, a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut the thickness range of 0.5mm-6mm.

 

It should be noted that these data are for reference only, the actual cutting effect is also affected by the performance of the equipment, operating skills, and other factors.

 

Cutting precision

3000W laser cutting machine has a high cutting accuracy, generally can reach ± 0.05mm. this is mainly due to the laser cutting machine's high-precision control system and precision optical system. In addition, the laser cutting machine also has the characteristics of non-contact cutting, and will not produce mechanical stress, so as to ensure the flatness and precision of the cutting surface.

 

Cutting speed

 

The cutting speed of a 3000W laser cutting machine is affected by the type of material, thickness, cutting mode, and other factors. Generally speaking, the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine can reach several meters to tens of meters per minute. Specifically:

 

l For carbon steel, the cutting speed of a 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 10-30 meters per minute.

l For stainless steel, the cutting speed of a 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 5-20 meters per minute.

l For aluminum alloy, the cutting speed of a 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 10-25 meters per minute.

l For copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals, the cutting speed of a 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 5-15 meters per minute.

Scope of application of 3000W laser cutting machine

3000W laser cutting machine is widely used in metal processing, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace, electronic and electrical appliances, medical equipment, building decoration, and other fields. Specifically, it can be used for cutting and processing of the following materials:

 

l Carbon steel, stainless steel, and other metal materials.

l Aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and other light metals.

l Copper, brass, tin, lead, and other non-ferrous metals.

l Wood, plastic, rubber, leather, and other non-metallic materials.

l Glass, ceramics, stone, and other brittle materials.

 

Working Principle of 3000W Laser Cutting Machine

 

The working principle of the laser cutting machine is to use a high-power laser beam to irradiate the surface of the material so that the material is rapidly melted, vaporized, or burned, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting. Specifically, the working principle of a 3000W laser cutting machine includes the following steps:

 

l The laser generator produces a high-power laser beam.

l The laser beam through the optical system focusing, the formation of high energy density laser beam.

l The high energy density of the laser beam irradiated to the surface of the material, so that the material is rapidly melted, vaporized, or burned.

l The cutting head moves along the predetermined trajectory, and the laser beam moves along with it, realizing continuous cutting.

l Slag and gas generated during the cutting process are blown away by auxiliary gases (such as nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) to ensure the cleanliness of the cutting surface.

Precautions for the operation of 3000W laser cutting machine

l Operators need to be professionally trained and familiar with the operating procedures and safety requirements of the equipment.

l The operation must wear protective glasses, gloves, and other protective equipment to prevent laser radiation and splash injury.

l Regularly check the performance and accuracy of the equipment to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.

l Strictly in accordance with the material cutting parameters for operation, to avoid improper parameters leading to poor cutting results or equipment damage.

l The cutting process should pay attention to the observation of the cutting effect, such as found abnormalities should immediately stop the machine to check.

l The cutting surface should be cleaned up in time after the cutting is completed to remove the residual slag and oxides to ensure the cleanliness and precision of the cutting surface.

Maintenance of 3000W laser cutting machine

l Regularly check the performance of the laser generator, optical system, cutting head, and other key components to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

l Regularly clean the optical components, such as the reflector, focusing mirror, etc., to prevent dust and dirt from affecting the quality of the laser beam.

l Check and replace the auxiliary gas regularly to ensure the gas supply in the cutting process.

l Regular inspection and maintenance of machine tools, guide rails, and other mechanical components to ensure the stability and accuracy of the equipment.

l Regular inspection and maintenance of the overall equipment, find timely solutions to problems to avoid equipment failure.

      

In short, a 3000W laser cutting machine has high cutting ability and precision, widely used in cutting and processing of various materials.
