How does Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. choose the appropriate motion speed and auxiliary gas pressure based on material thickness and material?

When selecting the motion speed and auxiliary gas pressure of the laser cutting machine, it is necessary to consider the material thickness and material. Here are some suggestions for reference:
1. Material thickness:
*Thin materials: For thin materials (such as thin metal plates), the movement speed can be relatively fast because the laser beam can penetrate the material more quickly. Meanwhile, the auxiliary gas pressure can be relatively low to avoid excessive blowing and cutting of waste materials.
*Thicker materials: For thicker materials, the movement speed needs to be relatively slow to ensure that the laser beam has enough time to fully penetrate the material. In addition, higher auxiliary gas pressure may help to better remove waste during the cutting process.
2. Material:
*Easy to cut materials: For materials that are easy to cut (such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.), the movement speed can be relatively high, and the auxiliary gas pressure can be relatively low. This is because these materials have better reflection and absorption performance towards laser beams, and generate less heat during the cutting process.
*Difficult to cut materials: For materials that are difficult to cut (such as titanium alloy, high-strength steel, etc.), the movement speed needs to be relatively low to avoid excessive heat generated by the laser beam on the surface of the material. Meanwhile, higher auxiliary gas pressure may help reduce the thermal impact during the cutting process.
When selecting motion speed and auxiliary gas pressure, it is recommended to refer to the manufacturer’s recommended values of the laser cutting machine. In addition, small-scale experimental cutting can be conducted to evaluate the cutting quality and efficiency under different parameters. By continuously adjusting and optimizing parameter settings, the most suitable motion speed and auxiliary gas pressure for specific materials and cutting requirements can be found.
