How does Manhart (Guangdong) CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd. optimize laser cutting parameters to improve cutting efficiency and quality?

Optimizing laser cutting parameters is a key step in improving cutting efficiency and quality. Here are some suggestions to help you achieve this goal:
1. * * Laser power adjustment * *: Laser power is the energy source during the cutting process. Increase or decrease laser power appropriately based on the thickness and type of material. Too low power may lead to incomplete cutting, while too high power may cause material thermal deformation or ablation.
2. * * Cutting speed optimization * *: Cutting speed directly affects production efficiency. On the premise of ensuring cutting quality, try to increase cutting speed as much as possible. However, it should be noted that too fast a speed may lead to a decrease in cutting quality, so it is necessary to find the optimal speed through experiments.
3. * * Gas assisted adjustment * *: The auxiliary gas plays a role in cooling, blowing away slag, and assisting combustion in laser cutting. Choose the appropriate gas type and pressure based on the type of material and cutting requirements. For example, nitrogen is suitable for cutting materials such as stainless steel, while oxygen is suitable for cutting materials such as carbon steel.
4. * * Focus position adjustment * *: The focus position of the laser beam is crucial for cutting quality. Ensure that the focus is on the material surface or slightly below the surface to achieve the best cutting effect. For materials with different thicknesses, it may be necessary to adjust the focal length or replace cutting heads with different focal lengths.
5. * * Spot diameter optimization * *: The spot diameter affects the precision of the cutting line and the size of the heat affected zone. On the premise of ensuring cutting speed and quality, minimize the diameter of the light spot as much as possible to improve cutting accuracy and reduce thermal deformation.
6. Regular maintenance and inspection: Regularly maintain and inspect the laser cutting machine to ensure it is in optimal working condition. The inspection includes cleaning and calibration of the laser, reflector, lens, as well as the wear of the cutting head.
In summary, optimizing laser cutting parameters requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects such as laser power, cutting speed, gas assistance, focus position, spot diameter, and equipment maintenance. By continuously adjusting and optimizing these parameters, cutting efficiency and quality can be improved. Meanwhile, it is recommended to make targeted parameter adjustments and optimizations in practical operations, taking into account material characteristics and cutting requirements.
