Stainless steel Laser Cutting: Factors that Affect the Process

Power of Laser:

The laser power is one of the most important factors, in the laser treatment of different materials,the laser power have 1000W / 1500W/ 2000W/ 3000W / 4000W/ 6000W/8000W/ 12000W. Cutting different thickness stainless steel cutting, choose different laser power.

Pulse Frequency:

The pulse frequency is somewhat proportionally link to the laser beam power.

Modern lasers offer sophisticated control features for the laser cutting process

that allow for automatic increase or decrease of the pulse frequency according to the material at hand.

laser cutting Type of Gas:

Each material requires a specific type of gas to use the laser

in order for the machining to effective and safe. The wood which is flammable excludes the use of oxygen for example because there would be a fire hazard. Oxygen on the other hand, is use when cutting metal surfaces which are free of oxides.

The gas type is not the only factor that comes into play. The quality of the gas is equally important. Different purity versions of the same type of gas, affect differently the cutting process both time- & quality-wise.

Gas Pressure:

The pressure of the laser gas is another important factor to keep in mind. The gas pressure is influence he thickness of the material to cut. The thinner the material, the lower the gas pressure or there is a risk of damaging the material and the laser device itself.

Nozzles Size:

The cutting nozzles significantly influence the laser cutting process. For example, when we have to deal with low-pressure laser cutting, smaller nozzles are require. Conversely, when the material machining calls for a higher-pressure cut, then we need to use larger nozzles.

Nozzle Distance from Material Surface:

The distance of the nozzles from the cutting surface plays an important role in the quality of the final laser cut result. As a rule of thumb, the shorter the distance between the tip and the surface, the more precise and higher-quality cut we have.

That being said, in several occasions it is advised to increase the distance in order to prevent damage to the equipment. We produce Portable fiber laser marking machine, Table type fiber laser marking machine,contact us!
