What factors affect the accuracy of metal laser cutting machines?

A metal laser cutting machine is a high-precision processing equipment, and its cutting accuracy is related to multiple factors. Here are the main factors that affect the cutting accuracy of metal laser cutting machines:


1. Laser power: The higher the laser power, the faster the cutting speed, but at the same time it will also reduce the accuracy. Appropriate laser power can increase cutting speed while ensuring cutting quality.


2. Cutting material: Metal laser cutting machines are suitable for most metal materials. Different materials have different characteristics such as thermal conductivity, melting point and reflectivity, which will affect the cutting accuracy.


3. Focal length: The focal length determines the depth and diameter of laser focusing. If the focal length is too large or too small, it will affect the cutting accuracy.


4. Gas selection: The gas used during cutting will affect the cutting accuracy. For example, nitrogen can be used for cutting stainless steel and oxygen can be used for cutting carbon steel.


5. Cutting speed: Cutting speed has a significant impact on cutting accuracy. Cutting speeds that are too fast or too slow will both reduce cutting accuracy.


Overall, the cutting accuracy of metal laser cutting machines can usually reach 0.05mm or less. Of course, the specific accuracy will also be affected by the interaction of the above factors, as well as the design, use and maintenance of the machine.
