What are the factors related to the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine

When many customers use a laser cutting machine to cut metal sheets, they hope that it can achieve a very fast cutting speed. However, the reality is often not the case. In fact, the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine is very much related to the metal material being cut. Below, Wuhan High Energy Laser will tell you the mystery. The relationship between the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine and the characteristics of the cutting material. The laser cutting machine basically processes metal plates, such as iron plates, stainless steel, carbon steel, etc., and sometimes it is inevitable that some metal materials such as aluminum plates and copper plates will be cut. But we can easily find that the speed of laser cutting machine cutting iron plate and steel plate is much faster than that of aluminum plate and copper plate, which has a great relationship with the characteristics of metal materials. Metal copper and aluminum are highly reflective materials, so cutting with a laser cutting machine will reflect part of the laser, resulting in reduced cutting efficiency. Only by reducing the cutting speed can a better cutting effect be achieved, so the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine has a great relationship with the characteristics of the cutting material. The relationship between the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine and the thickness of the cutting material. The laser cutting machine cuts metal plates. Generally, it is easier to cut thin plates than thick plates, and the speed is faster than thick plates. Therefore, the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine is related to the thickness of the cutting material. The relationship between the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine and the use of auxiliary gas Generally, when we use the laser cutting machine to cut difficult metal materials, auxiliary gas is used. The auxiliary gas can achieve the combustion-supporting effect very well. Commonly used oxygen, nitrogen, etc., using combustion-supporting gas is 3 times faster than using ordinary compressed air. Therefore, the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine has a great relationship with whether the auxiliary gas is used or not. The above complaints are for your reference.
