The speed of a metal laser cutting machine is usually determined by the following factors:
1. Cutting Thickness: Thin material will be cut faster than thick material.
2. Laser power: the higher the power, the faster the cutting speed.
3. Focal length: The shorter the focal length, the faster the cutting speed.
4. Cutting material type: Different types of metal materials have different physical properties, so the cutting speed will also be different.
Generally speaking, the speed of metal laser cutting machine can reach from a few meters to tens of meters per minute. But it should be noted that in addition to the above factors, there are other factors that may affect the cutting speed, such as the stability of the machine, the complexity of the cutting path, the precision of the cutting head, and so on.
The cutting head of the metal laser cutting machine is a very important part of the machine. The cutting head is generally composed of a mirror and a guide fiber, and their precision has a great influence on the cutting quality and efficiency.
The first is the precision of the lens. The quality and positioning accuracy of the lens will directly affect the focusing quality and shape of the laser beam, thereby affecting the quality and speed of the cutting line. Therefore, high-quality lenses can improve cutting quality and efficiency, and can also extend the life of the lens.
Second, is the precision of the guiding fiber. The quality and precision of the guiding fiber will affect the delivery quality and power loss of the laser beam. Some high-quality fiber guides enable low power loss and efficient transmission, increasing cutting speed and quality.
In addition, high-precision bearings, linear guides and driving equipment in the cutting head will also have an impact on the positioning and accuracy of the cutting head. If these devices are not stable or accurate enough, it may cause deviation or oscillation of the cutting line.
In short, the higher the precision of the cutting head, the better the cutting speed and quality. Therefore, when choosing a metal laser cutting machine, it is necessary to choose a device with a high-precision cutting head.
