Laser cutting features
For some certain reasons there are no perfect ways to machining so hard materials as steel and that’s why there are still many people on researching side. They are looking for more and more universal solutions and not to expensive at same time with high precision and accuracy. Flexibility and eventuality for setting up the whole kit to the individual purposes and preferences is very important value also. So we should have the knowledge about some limitations of technologies we choose to reach our goals. It is important if you are going to buy laser cutting machine for your purpose. Some promotional flayers are tend to avoid this kind of information, focusing on adventages only. Here are some important info for you:
- in most cases, minimal radius of the the hole made by laser beam is equal to half of steel sheet thickness.
- the quality (smoothness) of cutted edge for the final products (elements) in most cases when meagre sheets are machined. With the increasing thickness of steel sheets the edge can not be so smooths, and further processing can be required sometimes. It is caused by the laser beam power so if you are going to cut thicker material you need more power than declared “highest values” in machine specification manual.
- the most of cutting machines doesn’t allow to set up laser beam axis so you can cut in the right angle only.
