What are the advantages of the widespread use of laser cutting in sheet metal processing?

      Sheet metal processing is the main component of metal processing in industrial production activities, and it is also an important process for the formation of sheet metal products. Widely used in various household appliances, equipment, instrument metal shells, road billboards, trash cans, charging piles, car washing machines, computer chassis and other fields, all of which are sheet metal finished products. The sheet metal processing industry has always been closely related to our lives and appears in almost all walks of life.

      Sheet metal cutting is a step in sheet metal processing in which the entire block is cut into various parts that need to be formed. Laser cutting technology has flourished in recent years and has also been recognized by customers. From microns to dozens of thick metal sheets, lasers can effectively cut a wide range of metal sheets. In a sense, the widespread application of laser cutting technology is a major advance in the sheet metal processing industry.

     Laser cutting machines are more accurate and faster than traditional cutting methods, and have great advantages in processing effect and quality. Laser technology generally penetrates into metal processing, steel, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, medical equipment and other processing industries.

What are the benefits of laser cutting?

First of all, the direct irradiation surface of the light spot focused by the laser beam is very small, and can be used for micro-slits, micro-holes, etc., such as micro-slits, micro-holes, etc.

Second, lasers can cut almost any material, including thin metal sheets in 2D or 3D.

Finally, laser processing does not require tools and is non-contact processing without mechanical deformation.

Therefore, high-efficiency, high-energy, and high-flexibility laser cutting technology has obvious advantages in terms of precision, speed and efficiency, and has always been popular in the sheet metal industry. Some traditional difficult-to-cut or low-cut quality plates can be solved by laser cutting, especially for some carbon steel plate processing, laser cutting has an unquestionable status.
