Laser Cutting, How Does it Work?

Laser Cutting How Does it Work

Laser cutting is a process used by businesses and professionals around the world. This is a very special process that can take a deal of expertise and equipment to carry out. It's a technology behind post-processing and it looks like how it works.

Usually, Laser Cutting Job Work is used by cutting metal plates. Metals such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are often used. The laser cutting process is very accurate, the excellent cut quality produces very small, semi-width and low-heat areas and makes it possible by cutting very complex shapes and small design.

The focused laser beam can be made by a special lens or curved mirror, and this is in the laser-cutting head. The beam should be properly focused so the focus area and the density of energy in that space are rounded and continuous and concentrated in the nozzle. By concentrating a large beam at one point, it is at the top of the heat density on the spot. Think of using a magnifying glass to focus on the sun's rays on one leaf and how to start a fire. Now think about concentrating 6 kW energy in one place, and you can imagine how hot the place spot will get. 

On the CNC laser cutter, laser cutting heads are taken to the metal plate in the shape of the desired plate, thus plate piece is cut off. The capacitive height control system maintains a very precise distance between the nozzle and the end of the cut plate. This distance is important because it determines that the focal point plate is somewhere compared to the surface. Cut quality can be influenced by the plate surface above or below the surface or below the surface. 

There are many parameters that affect the cut quality, but when everyone is properly controlled, laser cutting is a stable, reliable and very precise cutting process.
