Competition will drive the development of industries. Undoubtedly, in recent years, the competition in the field of laser cutting machines has been extremely fierce. In addition to competition in cutting technology, cutting speed, after-sales service, and other aspects, laser cutting machine manufacturers have also been striving for breakthroughs and competition in higher power technologies, approaching the production of 10000 watt laser cutting machine products. However, the actual use of 10000 watt level power laser cutting for metal plates is relatively rare, and to a large extent, pursuing higher laser power is only a manifestation of technical capability.
The mainstream market trend always provides users with some guidance, and the emergence of the 10000 watt laser cutting machine seems to give users a hint: the higher the power, the better, but this idea is actually very one-sided. The higher the power,Laser cutting machineThe higher the cost. The power level is one of the main factors affecting the price of laser cutting machines. High power laser cutting machines have higher hardware requirements. The upgrade of the entire equipment components will cause the cost of the entire equipment to skyrocket.
Therefore, when choosing the power of a device, we should consider an acceptable price range. The higher the power, the better? Not at all! Laser cutting machines can be classified into low, medium, and high power according to their power. For thin stainless steel and carbon steel plates, it is possible to use low-power fiber laser cutting machines to cut them well and ensure high cutting speeds, which not only ensures efficiency but also saves costs. Therefore, when purchasing a laser cutting machine, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice based on one's own material, material thickness, etc., and not blindly pursue high power.
Of course, if you have thick and thin plates that require very large production, it is also a better choice within the reasonable price range of high-power laser cutting machines. Because by adjusting the cutting speed appropriately and replacing auxiliary gases, high-power laser cutting machines can also effectively control the cutting quality when cutting thin sheets.
In summary, it is recommended to consider two points when choosing a high-power laser cutting machine. Firstly, meet the cutting requirements of customers; Secondly, the price is within one's own range. The power of a laser cutting machine is one of the important factors to consider, but it does not mean blindly pursuing high power.
