How to maximize the efficiency of the 30kW laser?

At the moment of "efficiency is justice", high-power fiber laser cutting equipment has become the "new favorite" of many sheet metal cutting users with its advantages in efficiency, quality, cost, and stability. With the continuous improvement of laser power, it will open up broader application scenarios for the laser processing market. Fiber laser processing may be like IPG founder Valentin P. As expected by Dr. Gapontsev:

"Let fiber laser technology become a reliable means of mass production like a computer."

A good horse with a good saddle

Since IPG launched the 20 kW laser in the Chinese market in 2018, with its mature process experience and good service reputation, it has been highly recognized by the terminal market, created great value for a large number of industry-leading users, and accelerated the 10,000-watt level. The popularity of the laser cutting market. In the development of 10,000-watt products, IPG is not only pursuing high power blindly, but also working hard on the development of optical devices that can carry 20 kW and 30 kW laser power, aiming to provide customers with the most stable, reliable, and A product portfolio that can truly adapt to production line applications.

In order to give full play to the best performance of ultra-high power solutions, IPG has developed a high-power laser cutting head that is perfectly adapted to IPG high-power lasers. IPGCut-HP adopts a fully sealed, lightweight design with a power of up to 30 kW, which can provide the highest laser power processing capability in the industry.

The latest 30 kW high-power cutting head was unveiled at the 2020 Shanghai Industry Fair

IPGCut-HP high-power cutting head can be easily integrated with IPG laser, even under high-power and high-pressure cutting conditions, it can accurately monitor the height. The high-power cutting head can provide a variety of focal length and collimation configuration options, which is the best tool for cutting different materials and different thickness materials.

Advantages of high-power cutting head

Stability and continuous production are guaranteed

The core components are all independently designed and manufactured, using high-quality optical materials and lens coating technology to effectively reduce the damage and repair of the core optical components of the collimation and focus, and improve the long-term stability of the product under the industrial use environment.

IPG 20kW cutting head stability test: 30mm carbon steel plate dense array hole continuous cutting for 2 hours, the temperature of the lower section of the cutting head exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, and the servo system and optical components have passed the test smoothly to ensure that the cutting head can be stable under extreme working conditions Work.

Reliability Proven by the market

IPGCut-HP high-power cutting head is small and compact, and the weight of the whole processing head is only 4.7KG, which can meet the cutting requirements of large-format machine tools and improve the high-speed cutting dynamic performance of large machine tools. Stable follow-up to ensure continuous production of thick metal plates.

So far, more than 20 ultra-high power production sites have actually been installed and produced.

Ultra high power solution

With the continuous improvement of laser power, the leap from kilowatt level to 10,000 watt level ultra-high power has promoted the birth of new laser technology. The new process adopts negative focus cutting, which not only reduces the accuracy requirements for optical axis alignment, improves the robustness of the process, but also doubles the original processing speed, and there is no slag at the bottom, directly eliminating the grinding process.

Of course, according to the different needs of customers, we can also use the carbon steel air cutting process, which can far exceed the oxygen cutting speed, but there is a little slag on the lower surface.
