When Do You Nedd To Adjust The Output Power Of The Laser Cutting?

Time：2022-10-14

Generally speaking, the thickness and the speed of a  laser cutting machine can achieve is mainly depending on the laser power of the machine. The laser output power of the metal laser cutting machine is not static. According to the processing needs, we need to make real-time adjustments. This step is very important, the output power has a direct impact on the processing performance of the laser cutting machine. It determines the cutting precision and cutting efficiency when the laser cutting machine cuts the sheet. Under what circumstances should the output power of the laser cutting machine be increased? Let’s check together.

1. When the cutting speed of the laser cutting machine is too slow, the cutting speed can be increased by appropriately increasing the laser output power.

2. When cutting a material with a relatively large thickness, the laser output power can be increased by the control panel to improve the cutting performance.

3. Adding a material with high cutting density and high hardness will have a very high performance requirement for the laser cutting machine. It can solve the problem by increasing the laser output power and reducing the cutting speed.

After knowing the time to adjust output power, maybe you will wonder whether the output power has reached the appropriate parameters.

1. When the output power is greater than the standard value, the heat influence around the slit increases, and the corner portion is melted. Moreover, the cut noodle strips become thicker, from the top to the bottom. 

2. If the output power value is much smaller than the standard value, the lower part of the incision becomes significantly thicker and becomes a state of digging in, and the amount of adhesion of the dross increases more and is difficult to remove. You need to adjust to achieve the desired state.

Therefore, the laser output power affects the cutting effect of the laser cutting machine. Before cutting , the parameters must be adjusted first, until the optimal output power is achieved to ensure good cutting quality.

  • Compare The Heat Affected Zone Of 4 Different Cutting Methods

    During metal cutting, the metal absorbs the generated heat. This heat transmits away from the cutting edge through the metal body, as metal is a good heat conductor. A zone is formed between the melted metal and the unaffected base metal called the heat affected zone (HAZ). In this zone, the metal is not melted but the heat has led to changes in the metal’s micro-structure. These changes in structure can reduce the metal’s strength.

  • How To Solve When Air Pressure Is Too High Or Low

    The unstable air pressure of the laser cutting machine will affect the cutting effect. If the air pressure is too low, the cutting debris during the cutting process will not be blown away due to the low pressure, resulting in residual slag at the incision, or cutting through. If the air pressure during the cutting […]
