Application Fields of Laser Cutting Machines

As early as the 1970s, lasers were first used for cutting. In recent years, the role of laser cutting machines in the development of the manufacturing industry has become increasingly prominent. A technologically advanced and powerful laser cutting machine is a complex system that integrates optics, mechanics, and electronics. Its practical cutting function is an important guarantee for achieving efficient and high-quality sheet metal processing.

Laser processing technology is gradually replacing traditional processing techniques in fields such as material cutting, welding, additive manufacturing, inkjet marking, and is widely used in material processing and lithography, communication and optical storage, instruments and sensors, medical and beauty, scientific research and military, entertainment and printing, with advantages such as a wide range of machinable materials, high processing efficiency, high processing accuracy, small workpiece deformation, and clean and pollution-free. In addition, laser processing CNC industrial software can also be combined with computer numerical control technology, mechanical automation technology, etc. to form intelligent laser processing equipment, achieving precise processing of materials of different materials, shapes, and volumes.

After long-term technological accumulation and industrial application practice, the laser processing industry has formed a complete industrial chain system. Below is a specific introduction to several industries that are currently popular

1. Kitchenware

Kitchenware is one of the essential metal products in our daily life. The traditional processing methods in the kitchen utensils manufacturing industry face challenges such as low work efficiency, high mold consumption, and high usage costs. The laser cutting machine has fast cutting speed and high precision, which improves processing efficiency. It can also achieve customized and personalized product development, solve the problems faced by kitchen ware manufacturers, and is highly recognized by kitchen ware manufacturers.

2. Automobile manufacturing

There are also many precision parts and materials in automobiles, such as brake pads. In order to improve the safety of automobiles, it is necessary to ensure cutting accuracy. Traditional manual labor is difficult to achieve accuracy, and secondly, the efficiency is low. Laser cutting can be processed in batches quickly, with high accuracy, high efficiency, no burrs, and advantages such as one-time forming. These are the reasons why laser cutting machines are widely used in the automotive industry.

3. Fitness equipment

The diversity of fitness equipment also puts forward high requirements for processing, with multiple specifications and shapes, making traditional processing appear complicated and inefficient. Laser cutting has high flexibility and can customize flexible processing of different pipes and plates. The processed products are smooth, burr free, and do not require secondary processing. The quality and efficiency are greatly improved compared to traditional processes.

4. Advertising metal characters

The traditional processing equipment for advertising generally uses materials such as advertising fonts, but due to poor processing accuracy and cutting surface, the probability of rework is quite high. The high-precision laser cutting technology eliminates the need for secondary rework, greatly improving work efficiency and saving enterprise costs.

5. Chassis cabinet

The power distribution cabinets, file cabinets, and other products we see in our daily lives are standardized production of thin plates, with high efficiency requirements. However, using a laser cutting machine with four or six stations is relatively suitable and efficient. At the same time, double-layer cutting can also be achieved for specific plates.

6. Agricultural machinery

With the continuous development of agriculture, the types of agricultural machinery products are becoming more diversified and specialized, while also putting forward new requirements for the manufacturing of agricultural machinery products. The advanced laser processing technology, drawing system, and CNC technology of laser cutting machines not only reduce the production cost of agricultural machinery equipment, but also improve economic benefits.

7. Shipbuilding industry

In the field of shipbuilding, laser cut marine steel plates have good cutting quality, good perpendicularity of the cutting surface, no slag hanging, thin oxide layer, smooth surface, no need for secondary processing, can be directly welded, and have low thermal deformation, high curve cutting accuracy, reduced working hours, and achieved barrier free cutting of high-strength ship plates.

8. Aerospace

Laser manufacturing technology is an important component in the field of aerospace manufacturing technology. Laser cutting processing technology has been widely used in accessories, components, and other components of aircraft, aerospace rockets, etc.

9. Construction machinery

In general, the construction machinery industry uses medium to thick plates as the main material. Laser cutting of grooves can solve the cutting and groove problems at once, with advantages such as high precision, fast speed, high material utilization rate, and reduced labor costs.

Laser cutting is widely used in industries such as iron towers, curtain walls, elevators, steel structures, medical equipment, and lifting machinery.
