What is a fabric laser cutting machine? What are the workings of a fiber laser cutter machine? Let’s get into it.
Fabric Laser Cutting Machine: A laser beam is fired from the laser generator. It is then focused through an optical path system into a high-power laser beam.
The laser beam strikes the surface of the workpiece, causing it to reach the melting point or boiling point. High-pressure gas aligned with this beam will blow out the melt or vaporized material.
The material is cut using the movement of the beam, relative position of the workpiece and finally slit to accomplish the purpose of cutting.
Laser cutting can be used to replace traditional mechanical knives with invisible beams.
It was highly precise and fast, with smooth incisions, low processing costs, and not limited to pattern limitation.
Advantages of fabric laser cutting machine
Fiber laser cutting will gradually replace or improve the traditional metal cutting process.
The laser cutter’s mechanical component is not in direct contact with the workpiece and will not scratch it.
Laser cutting is quick and smooth. There is no need to do any further processing.
The area affected by cutting heat is small, plate deformation is minimal, and the slit narrow (0.1mm0.3mm).
No mechanical stress, no shear burr.
High precision, repeatability and no damage to the surface of the material are some of the benefits.
Any plane graph can be processed by numerical control programming
You can cut large pieces of the entire plate without having to open the mold, which saves time.
Fabric Laser Cutting Machine Principle
Laser cutting uses the laser beam to heat the hot cutting process. Its working principle is very similar to laser welding.
Laser cutting temperatures exceed 11000 degrees Celsius, which would make any material gasify. Therefore, gasification plays an important role, in addition to melting during laser cutting.
Laser cutting of certain materials such as carbon or ceramics is purely a result of the gasification process.
Laser cutting metal uses a high-power continuous carbon dioxide laser generator.
Spray the inert gas flow to cut the metal. Then blow the incision out to melt it.
The jet’s oxygen flow will increase cutting speed.
Laser cutting is more precise than other hot cutting methods, has a smaller incision and smoother surface.
Laser cutting can be used to cut almost all metal materials, with a thickness of a few microns up to 50 mm.
Laser cutting equipment can be expensive. It is used for cutting various thicknesses below 12 mm, including titanium, stainless steel, and titanium alloy.
The laser is used in the wood processing industry to cut plywood and particle board. In the garment industry, the laser is also used for large quantities of cutting cloth.
Laser cutting can also be used for certain special purposes such as stone bearing drilling or the surgeon using the laser to cut the skin.
Laser cutting efficiency and quality are directly affected by the parameters of the laser beam, performance and precision of the laser cutting machine and NC systems.
