How thick can a 3000w laser cutting machine cut

  1. Cutting thickness

The cutting thickness of a 3000W laser cutting machine is affected by many factors, such as laser power, cutting speed, material type, etc. Generally speaking, the thickness range that a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut is 0.5mm-20mm. Specifically:
For carbon steel, the thickness range that a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut is 0.5mm-20mm;
For stainless steel, the thickness range that a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut is 0.5mm-12mm;
For aluminum alloy, the thickness range that a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut is 0.5mm-8mm;
For non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass, the thickness range that a 3000W laser cutting machine can cut is 0.5mm-6mm.
It should be noted that these data are for reference only, and the actual cutting effect is also affected by factors such as equipment performance and operating skills.

  1. Cutting accuracy

The 3000W laser cutting machine has a high cutting accuracy, which can generally reach ±0.05mm. This is mainly due to the high-precision control system and precise optical system of the laser cutting machine. In addition, the laser cutting machine also has the characteristics of non-contact cutting, which will not produce mechanical stress, thus ensuring the flatness and accuracy of the cutting surface.

  1. Cutting speed

The cutting speed of the 3000W laser cutting machine is affected by factors such as material type, thickness, and cutting mode. Generally speaking, the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine can reach several meters to tens of meters per minute. Specifically:
For carbon steel, the cutting speed of the 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 10-30 meters per minute;
For stainless steel, the cutting speed of the 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 5-20 meters per minute;
For aluminum alloys, the cutting speed of the 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 10-25 meters per minute;
For non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass, the cutting speed of the 3000W laser cutting machine can reach 5-15 meters per minute.

  1. Scope of application of 3000W laser cutting machine

3000W laser cutting machine is widely used in metal processing, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace, electronic appliances, medical equipment, architectural decoration and other fields. Specifically, it can be used for cutting the following materials:
Metal materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel;
Light metals such as aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy;
Non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, tin and lead;
Non-metal materials such as wood, plastic, rubber and leather;
Brittle materials such as glass, ceramics and stone.

  1. Working principle of 3000W laser cutting machine

The working principle of laser cutting machine is to use high-power laser beam to irradiate the surface of the material, so that the material can be quickly melted, vaporized or burned, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting. Specifically, the working principle of the 3000W laser cutting machine includes the following steps:
The laser generator generates a high-power laser beam;
The laser beam is focused by the optical system to form a high-energy-density laser beam;
The high-energy-density laser beam irradiates the surface of the material, causing the material to melt, vaporize or burn quickly;
The cutting head moves along the predetermined trajectory, and the laser beam moves with it to achieve continuous cutting;
The slag and gas generated during the cutting process are blown away by auxiliary gases (such as nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) to ensure the cleanliness of the cutting surface.

  1. 3000W laser cutting machine operation precautions

Operators need to undergo professional training and be familiar with the equipment’s operating procedures and safety requirements;
Protective glasses, gloves and other protective equipment are required during operation to prevent laser radiation and splash damage;
Regularly check the performance and accuracy of the equipment to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition;
Operate strictly in accordance with the cutting parameters of the material to avoid poor cutting effect or equipment damage due to improper parameters;
Pay attention to the cutting effect during the cutting process. If any abnormality is found, the machine should be stopped for inspection immediately;
After cutting, the cutting surface should be cleaned in time to remove residual slag and oxides to ensure the cleanliness and accuracy of the cutting surface.

  1. 3000W laser cutting machine maintenance

Regularly check the performance of key components such as the laser generator, optical system, and cutting head to ensure the normal operation of the equipment;
Regularly clean optical components such as reflectors and focusing mirrors to prevent dust and dirt from affecting the quality of the laser beam;
Regularly check and replace auxiliary gases to ensure gas supply during cutting;
Regularly check and maintain mechanical components such as machine tools and guide rails to ensure the stability and accuracy of the equipment;
Regularly perform overall inspection and maintenance of the equipment, and solve problems in a timely manner to avoid equipment failure.
