Advantages of Laser Cutting in Manufacturing

High precision: Positioning accuracy of 0.05mm, repeatability accuracy of 0.02mm

2. Narrow Seams: The laser beam focuses into an extremely small spot, achieving a high power density at the focal point. The material is quickly heated to the vaporization level, evaporating to form holes. As the beam moves linearly relative to the material, it creates a continuous, narrow seam with the holes. The width of the cut is typically between 0.10 to 0.20 mm.

3. Smooth Cut Surface: The cutting surface is free of burrs, with the surface roughness generally controlled within Ra12.5.

4. Speedy: The cutting speed reaches up to 10m/min, with the maximum positioning speed at 70m/min, significantly faster than wire cutting.

5. Excellent Cutting Quality: No-contact cutting minimizes heat-affected zones on edges, virtually eliminating hot deformation of workpieces and completely avoiding burrs that form during material shearing. Generally, no secondary processing is required for the cutting seam.

6. Non-Damaging to Workpiece: The laser cutting machine does not come into contact with the material surface, ensuring no scratches on the workpiece.

7. Unaffected by Material Hardness: Lasers can process steel plates, stainless steel, aluminum alloy plates, and hard alloys, etc., with no deformation during cutting, regardless of the hardness.

8. Shape-Independent Processing: Laser processing offers flexibility, allowing for the machining of any shape, including tube materials and other non-standard profiles.

9. Capable of cutting and processing non-metals: such as plastic, wood, PVC, leather, textiles, and acrylic glass, etc.

10. Cost-Effective Mold Investment: Laser processing eliminates the need for molds, resulting in no mold wear, no mold repair costs, and reduced time for mold changes, thereby saving processing expenses and lowering production costs, particularly suitable for processing large-sized products.

11. Material Savings: By utilizing computer programming, different-shaped products can be cut from a single sheet of material, maximizing material utilization.

12. Accelerating New Product Development: Once the product drawings are finalized, laser processing can be initiated immediately, ensuring the quickest turnaround for the physical prototype of the new product.
