What Are the Advantages of Laser Cutting in Sheet Metal Processing?

Sheet metal processing definition and classification: Sheet metal is a comprehensive cold processing process for metal plates below 6mm, and the process mainly includes: blanking, bending, welding and surface treatment. The cutting can be divided into CNC stamping and laser cutting according to the processing method. CNC stamping is mainly to cut cold-rolled and hot-rolled plates below 3mm, aluminum plates below 4mm and stainless steel below 2mm, and the processing size of large plates is 1250mm*4000mm; Laser cutting machine application range is relatively wide, there are three types, YAG solid, CO2 and fiber laser cutting machine. So what are the advantages of laser cutting in sheet metal processing?

Advantages and characteristics of laser cutting in sheet metal processing: 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 numerical control, it has the following characteristics:

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

2. high degree of automation, easy to operate, reduce labor intensity.

3. high material utilization rate, reduce production costs, improve economic efficiency.

4. good material adaptability, no props wear, effectively extend the life period.

Laser cutting application advantages in sheet metal processing:

(1) It is conducive to optimizing the process, reducing the processing process and reducing the production cost. This is due to the one-time operation of the sheet forming and the welding of the sleeve, which reduces the use of molds and thus reduces the production time.

(2) It is conducive to improving the efficiency of laser cutting. The use of software programming to develop a more reasonable cutting scheme can not only reduce the use and waste of materials, but also effectively improve the processing efficiency.

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

Due to market demand, the technology has great advantages in sheet metal processing, coupled with its outstanding application advantages, a wide range of applications, the future will have more advanced products will be introduced to the market.
