As an advanced sheet metal processing technology and means, CNC fiber laser cutting machine is rapidly and widely used in various industries of industrial machinery with its significant advantages of high efficiency, high precision and high flexibility, and has also attracted the attention of more and more industry users. Some people will ask, after more than 40 years of continuous development, CNC fiber laser cutting machine has become more and more mature, so how will it develop in the future? What is its development trend? Under the background of China's ambition to realize the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry and intelligent manufacturing, the above two issues are particularly worth discussing. There is a Western proverb called "the future is determined by the past". These words provide us with a key to open the future of CNC fiber laser cutting machine. That is, if we want to grasp the future development trend of NC fiber laser cutting machine, we can start with an insight into the current situation of NC fiber laser cutting machine. Present situation of NC fiber laser cutting machine

In order to gain insight into the current situation of CNC fiber laser cutting machine, we might as well summarize and analyze it from the following aspects.

CNC fiber laser cutting machine has achieved epoch-making product revolution. Since the end of 2008, Han's laser sheet metal equipment division took the lead in developing high-power fiber CNC fiber laser cutting machine in the world, a revolution in the light source of CNC fiber laser cutting machine has begun. Now, eight years later, the high-power CO2 numerical control optical fiber laser cutting machine has fallen into the abyss of serious decline. The epoch-making optical fiber numerical control optical fiber laser cutting machine has occupied the center of the global numerical control optical fiber laser cutting machine stage with its higher cutting efficiency, lower operating cost and wider cutting range. Its representative events are: Han's laser has become the second manufacturer of CNC fiber laser cutting mechanism in the world in terms of production and sales by virtue of its ambitious technical strategy and market application advantages, while the German and American CO2 laser light source manufacturers in China and even the global market fell to a low ten years ago; The world's mainstream manufacturers of CNC optical fiber laser cutting machines have to turn to the development and sales of optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machines. At the same time, a large number of domestic and foreign manufacturers who only do optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machines have been born. This light source technology revolution has brought greater return on investment to end users and billions of dollars of industrial value chain to the market. In recent years, more than 40% of the industrial lasers produced and sold in the world for laser processing are used for laser cutting, surpassing laser welding, laser marking, laser texturing, laser heat treatment and laser cladding, ranking first in industrial laser application, showing that laser cutting technology has an extremely important technical application position, It also indicates that the CNC fiber laser cutting machine has a very attractive development space. This is the most important technological revolution since the birth of CNC fiber laser cutting machine. High, medium and low power optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machines are developing hand in hand

As CO2 numerical control fiber laser cutting machines are marginalized in terms of production and sales, the numerical control fiber laser cutting machines we want to talk about here are optical fiber numerical control fiber laser cutting machines. In the past five years, 300 ~ 1000W low-power optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine, 1000 ~ 3000W high-power optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine and 3000W high-power optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine have achieved rapid development in their respective fields due to their different cutting capabilities, which can be described as going hand in hand and bearing fruit in an all-round way. This is also the best confirmation of the era of optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine. The automation of NC fiber laser cutting machine has been significantly improved.

Is the CNC fiber laser cutting machine just a sheet metal precision cutting equipment? Yes, of course not all. In the first two decades since the birth of NC fiber laser cutting machine, it has gone through a long road of product stability. During and after this process, CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine has developed towards application specialization, such as template CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine, laser cloth cutting machine, laser pipe cutting machine, flat CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine, robot 3D CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine, 3D five axis CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine, etc., which have been finalized products so far. But at the same time, it can not be ignored that the CNC fiber laser cutting machine is striding forward in the direction of automation. For a CNC fiber laser cutting machine, its auxiliary units such as automatic feeding, automatic blanking, automatic slag removal and automatic material picking can effectively reduce the labor intensity, reduce the number of workers, shorten the standby time, and even realize the unattended laser cutting operation, so as to comprehensively improve the application rate of the CNC fiber laser cutting machine. For example, the FMS laser cutting automatic production line launched by Han's laser in 2010 (see the figure below for details) is a confirmation of the development of CNC fiber laser cutting machine in the direction of automation.

In fact, the well-known CNC fiber laser cutting machine manufacturers with extensive influence in the world have made great efforts to put into practice here, occupied the first mover advantage in the development of automation of CNC fiber laser cutting machine, and also led the development and application direction of CNC fiber laser cutting machine.

What enlightenment can the current situation of NC fiber laser cutting machine summarized from the above three aspects bring us? Is the future development direction and trend of CNC fiber laser cutting machine really hidden in it? Then, let's stand at the present and look at the future of CNC fiber laser cutting machine.

Future development trend of CNC fiber laser cutting machine

CNC fiber laser cutting machine will continue to carry out epoch-making product revolution.

Laser light source is the core component of CNC fiber laser cutting machine, and it is also an important index to determine the type and cutting ability of a CNC fiber laser cutting machine. Needless to say, the future change of CNC fiber laser cutting machine will also take place in the laser light source. As mentioned above, the replacement of CO2 numerical control optical fiber laser cutting machine by optical fiber numerical control optical fiber laser cutting machine is the most important technological revolution in the 40 years since the birth of numerical control optical fiber laser cutting machine, which has brought epoch-making economic benefits to manufacturers and new and old users in this field. So, in the future, is there a new light source with cheaper price, better performance, better beam mode, higher electro-optic conversion rate or lower comprehensive cost than fiber laser? The answer is certainly yes. So further, what is the laser? Of course, there is no way to give an accurate answer now. Science and technology sometimes stumble slowly, sometimes thousands of miles a day. At present, the author can only say that the development of semiconductor lasers deserves close attention from friends in the industry. High power fiber laser will become the main force in the market of CNC fiber laser cutting machine

At present, optical fiber cutting machines in various power ranges have ushered in great development. However, where is the mainstream laser power of CNC fiber laser cutting machine in the future? Although the CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine in each power range has its own place to play, the Han nationality laser, which started with high-power optical fiber laser and triggered the technological revolution of global CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine, takes higher power, higher precision and greater cutting ability as one of the important development directions of optical fiber CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine. At the 13th CIMES 2016 China International Machine Tool Exhibition, Han's laser grandly launched 8000w fiber CNC fiber laser cutting machine, pushing the maximum power of the applied laser to the peak. Whether in cutting speed or cutting thickness, it has achieved an unprecedented breakthrough and attracted the attention of the industry. Does this contain the development trend of CNC fiber laser cutting machine in the future? It is worthy of the expectation of industry experts, scholars and user friends. In addition, we can be sure that in the near future, many manufacturers of fiber numerical control fiber laser cutting mechanisms at home and abroad will usher in a reshuffle period in the fierce market competition. Only enterprises with excellent product quality, continuous attention to R & D investment and mastering core competitive technologies can be successful and remain invincible. The era of intelligence will come in an all-round way.

Whether industrial 4.0 in Germany or intelligent manufacturing in China, the fourth industrial revolution in the industrial field is coming quietly. As a high-precision CNC fiber laser cutting machine, CNC fiber laser cutting machine will keep pace with the times and fly with technology. The automation development of NC fiber laser cutting machine has greatly improved the production capacity and automation level of the sheet metal workshop (the following figure shows the production site of Han's laser pipe cutting machine group, and the whole process realizes automatic processing).

In the future, on this basis, an era of intelligent manufacturing of CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine is brewing in the fields of network technology, communication technology, computer software technology and so on. It can be predicted that as a means of precision sheet metal blanking, it will be embedded into a unified production plan, task and assessment management system with its own network communication ability with the plate uncoiling line, bending machine, CNC punch, welding (riveting) unit, shot blasting and coating line in the factory, which will become an important link of the sheet metal workshop management system. As a result, the manufacturer of CNC optical fiber laser cutting machine will gradually become a sheet metal manufacturing contractor. As the Han's laser sheet metal equipment division, which was selected into the list of intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration projects of the Ministry of industry and information technology in 2015, is relying on its own system technology integration ability, focusing on the future development direction and technical commanding point, and cooperating with strategic partners such as Hunan University and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, aiming to build an intelligent chemical plant for sheet metal processing and create a new situation of industry, University, research and application.
