Laser cutting has developed for decades, from solid-state laser, CO2 laser to CNC fiber laser cutting machine. The technology is becoming more and more mature, and China's huge potential market also provides a broad space for the large-scale application of laser processing machine tools in the sheet metal industry. With the intensification of competition, the profit space of each stage of the sheet metal industry chain is shrinking, the price reduction space is decreasing, and the transformation of processing technology is inevitable; At the same time, China has gradually become an international manufacturing center. With the increase of foreign investment, the demand for metal processing is increasing. Therefore, the demand for sheet metal processing capacity is also increasing, which promotes the development and prosperity of CNC fiber laser cutting machine.

The traditional sheet metal process is: shear punch bend welding process or CNC plasma cutting machine cutting bend welding process. In the face of orders with multiple varieties, small batch, customization, high quality and short delivery time, it shows obvious maladjustment. The laser cutting process of NC optical fiber laser cutting machine appears as an alternative process of "cutting punching", which has the characteristics of flexibility and high flexibility. Therefore, it is often used in the manufacturing of special-shaped (or complex) workpieces and samples (single piece or very small batch), gradually replacing some traditional sheet metal processing processes.

Disadvantages of traditional sheet metal processing

Traditional sheet metal cutting equipment occupies a considerable market share in the market. Although they also have their own unique advantages, they have obvious disadvantages compared with modern processes such as CNC fiber laser cutting machine and laser cutting, which greatly affects the competitiveness of enterprises.

1. (CNC) shearing machine is mainly straight cutting, which can only be used for straight-line cutting and sheet metal processing;

2. (CNC / turret) punch has restrictions on the cutting of steel plates with a thickness of more than 1.5mm, with poor surface quality, high cost and high noise, which is not conducive to environmental protection;

3. As the original traditional cutting method, NC flame cutting machine is only suitable for rough machining in the case of cutting thermal deformation, cutting width, waste and slow processing speed;

4. CNC plasma cutting machine and fine plasma cutting machine are similar to flame cutting. When cutting thin steel plate, the thermal deformation is too large and the slope is too large. There is nothing to do when the accuracy requirements are high, and the consumables are more expensive.

5. The processing speed of high-pressure water cutting is slow, resulting in serious pollution and high consumption cost.

Advantages of CNC fiber laser cutting machine

Laser cutting has the advantages of high flexibility, fast cutting speed, high production efficiency and short production cycle. Whether it is simple or complex parts, laser can be used to realize one-time rapid prototyping cutting;

Narrow cutting seam, good cutting quality, high degree of automation, simple operation, low labor intensity, safety and environmental protection;

The CNC fiber laser cutting machine can realize automatic cutting layout and nesting, improve the material utilization rate, no tool wear, good material adaptability, and can cut almost all materials.
