How is the application of laser cutting in sheet metal processing?

Industry status: Although the development of my country's manufacturing industry is affected by the epidemic to a certain extent, the industrial economy is showing a steady and positive trend, and the industrial structure is further optimized. The development of the sheet metal processing industry benefits from the huge capacity of the industry. industrial market. Sheet metal processing is almost involved in many manufacturing industries, including electricity, electrical appliances, networking, kitchen and bathroom, etc. The corresponding products include electrical boxes, electrical instruments, network cabinets, and stainless steel commercial kitchens.

laser cutting

Definition and classification of sheet metal processing: Sheet metal refers to a comprehensive cold working process for metal sheets below 6mm. The process mainly includes blanking, bending, welding and surface treatment. Among them, the blanking can be divided into: digital punching and laser cutting according to the processing method. The number of punching is mainly used to cut cold-rolled and hot-rolled plates below 3mm, aluminum plates below 4mm and stainless steel below 2mm. The maximum plate processing size is 1250mm*4000mm; the laser cutting machine has a wide range of applications, there are three types, YAG solid, CO2 and fiber laser cutting machine.

Advantages of laser cutting

Advantages and characteristics of laser cutting: For multi-variety, multi-batch, small batch, non-standard and high-precision processing requirements, laser cutting has obvious advantages. Compared with traditional processes such as CNC, it has the following characteristics:

High degree of flexibility and fast cutting speed, thereby improving production efficiency and shortening product production cycle.

High degree of automation, easy operation and reduced labor intensity.

The material utilization rate is high, the production cost is reduced, and the economic benefit is improved.

The material has good adaptability, no prop wear, effectively prolonging the life cycle.

Laser Cutting Applications

Application advantages:

(1) It is beneficial to optimize the process, reduce the processing procedure, and reduce the production cost. This is due to the one-time operation of sheet forming and welding, reducing the use of molds and thus reducing production time.

(2) It is beneficial to improve the efficiency of laser cutting. Using software programming to formulate a more reasonable cutting plan can not only reduce the use and waste of materials, but also effectively improve the processing efficiency.

(3) Conducive to product development. Due to the shortened product production cycle, the research and development speed of new products will be increased, and new market needs will be explored.
