Laser cutting is an advanced cutting process in the world at present. Compared with traditional cutting methods, laser cutting has the advantages of precision manufacturing, flexible cutting, special-shaped processing, one-time forming, high speed, high efficiency, etc., so it solves many problems that cannot be solved by conventional methods in industrial production. The highly focused energy provided by laser and the control of CNC machining center can accurately cut materials from various thicknesses and complex shapes. Laser cutting can realize high-precision and small tolerance manufacturing, reduce material waste and process material diversity. Here are some reasons why the manufacturing industry uses precision laser cutting:
01
Excellent machining accuracy and product quality
Compared with traditional cutting methods, laser cutting products have higher accuracy and edge quality. That is because laser cutting belongs to “cold processing”, which uses a highly focused beam as a heat affected zone in the cutting process, and will not cause large-area thermal damage to adjacent surfaces. In addition, the cutting process of high-pressure gas (usually CO2) is used to spray molten materials to remove the material slits of narrow workpieces, making the processing process cleaner and making the edges of complex shapes and designs smoother. The laser cutting machine has the function of computer numerical control, and the laser cutting process can be automatically controlled by the pre designed machine program. The risk of operator error is greatly reduced, and the parts and components produced are more accurate, more accurate and more strict tolerance.
02
Improve the safety of workplaces and operators
Traditional cutting and processing is an area where factory accidents occur frequently. Once a safety accident occurs in the workplace, it will have a great negative impact on the productivity and operating costs of the company. Using laser cutting can effectively reduce the risk of safety accidents, because it is a non-contact processing process, which means that the machine tool should not physically contact materials. In addition, no operator intervention is required in the laser cutting process, so that the high-power beam can be safely kept inside the sealed machine. Generally, except for inspection and maintenance operations, laser cutting does not require manual intervention. Compared with traditional cutting methods, this process minimizes direct contact with the workpiece surface, thereby reducing the possibility of employee accidents and injuries.
03
Processing of various materials and thicknesses
In addition to cutting complex geometric shapes with higher accuracy, laser cutting can also enable manufacturers to cut without mechanical changes, which can be applied to a wider range of materials and thicknesses. Use the same beam at different output levels, intensities, and durations. Laser cutting can cut all kinds of metal and non-metallic materials. Making similar adjustments to the machine can accurately cut materials of various thicknesses. Automation can be achieved through the integrated numerical control system, so as to provide more intuitive operations. Super smart is oriented to diamond, copper molybdenum alloy, 3C products, glass wafer and other difficult to machine materials. It has developed multiple sets of special and efficient laser processing equipment and overall solutions.
04
Higher processing efficiency
In the traditional cutting process, the time and labor spent in setting and operating the manufacturing equipment will increase the overall production cost of each workpiece. Using laser cutting method can reduce the total cost of production. For laser cutting, there is no need to change and set the mold between the material or material thickness. It involves more machine programming than loading materials, so the setting time will be greatly reduced. In addition, the speed of laser cutting can be 30 times faster than traditional sawing. Previously, the auto lamp lens precision cutting integrated marking equipment developed by ultra smart combines the cutting and marking work that originally needed to be completed by multiple equipment into one equipment, which not only ensures the processing quality, but also greatly improves the production efficiency.
05
Reduce material costs
The beam used in the laser cutting process will produce narrow cuts, thus reducing the size of the heat affected zone and the amount of materials that cannot be used due to thermal damage, so that manufacturers can minimize material waste. When flexible materials are used, the deformation caused by machine tools also increases the number of unusable materials. The non-contact cutting of laser eliminates this problem. The laser cutting process can cut with higher accuracy and stricter tolerance, and reduce material damage in the heat affected zone. Over time, the material cost is reduced.
06
Help the machinery industry achieve the goal of “double carbon”
With the energy development situation, the country continues to promote the realization of the “double carbon” goal. For most enterprises, if they want to reduce carbon, they must reduce energy consumption: such as electricity, heat and gas. Compared with the traditional laser processing methods, fiber laser cutting speed is faster and energy consumption is lower. It can be reduced from 100 kwh in the previous hour to 20-30 kwh in one hour, so as to achieve the actual effect of improving quality and efficiency, saving energy and reducing carbon.
Laser cutting has great advantages in precision, cutting quality and speed. The semiconductor industry uses laser cutting in 3C electronic industry, adding cutting silicon, gemstones and complex precision parts for the production of composite materials. It also has a wide range of applications in the medical industry, including medical production equipment, cutting precision tubes and surgical applications requiring aseptic and precision cutting, in aerospace There are also many applications in military and other fields. In short, ultrafast precision laser cutting processing is one of the most advanced cutting processes at present. The use of ultrafast precision laser processing will add impetus to the cause of laser precision processing in our country.
