Fiber laser cutting machine cutting technology has been widely used in the industrial field. However, many people are confused about this question: Does laser cutting pick the plate? The answer is that, indeed, the effect of the fiber laser cutting machine will be affected by the texture of the plate. In this article, we will explore this issue in depth and explain why this happens.

Material affects the cutting effect

The fiber laser cutting machines of all manufacturers are basically the same, but the effect is different when cutting different materials. This is because different materials have different hardnesses, which leads to differences in their cutting effects.

Generally speaking, when manufacturers are making proofs, they will choose the easiest to cut plate for testing. This is a common practice, and so is our company. We never avoid the main reason for different cutting effects, which is that different materials have different hardnesses.

For example, common iron plate materials include Q235, Q345, Q355, 45 steel, etc. Among them, Q235 is the easiest to cut full bright surface. It is more difficult to cut full bright surface of other materials. This is the so-called "bullying the soft and fearing the hard" phenomenon, which is an intuitive reflection of the cutting effect.

Cutting process introduction

Let's take cutting 22mm Q235 plate as an example to share the cutting process. In this process, the power of the fiber laser cutter is 12000 watts, the actual power used is 11000 watts, and the cutting speed is 1.3 meters per minute. At the same time, the height of the nozzle is 0.5, the air pressure is 0.6, the nozzle is 1.6 liters, and the focus is twelve. Under normal circumstances, such settings can cut out bright surfaces.

However, it should be noted that if the dust removal fan is not turned on, the smoke will be relatively large. Therefore, when the fiber laser cutting machine is cutting, it is important to turn on the dust removal fan to ensure the cleanliness of the cutting environment and the safety of the workers.

Conclusion

In general, does the fiber laser cutting machine pick the plate? The answer is yes. Different plate materials will directly affect the effect of laser cutting. When performing laser cutting, we need to consider the material of the plate and how to adjust the parameters of the fiber laser cutting machine to obtain the best cutting effect.
