- Wide range: Laser precision machining has a wide range of objects, including almost all metal materials and non-metal materials; it is suitable for sintering, drilling, marking, cutting, welding, surface modification and chemical vapor deposition of materials. Electrochemical processing can only process conductive materials, photochemical processing is only suitable for corrosive materials, and plasma processing is difficult to process some materials with high melting points.
- Precise and meticulous: The laser beam can be focused to a very small size, so it is especially suitable for precision machining. Laser precision machining has few factors affecting the quality and high machining accuracy, which is generally better than other traditional machining methods.
- High speed and fast: From the perspective of processing cycle, the tool electrode of EDM has high precision requirements, large loss, and long processing cycle; EDM processing cavity and surface cathode mold design workload is large, and the manufacturing cycle is also very long; The photochemical processing process is complex; while the laser precision processing is simple, the slit width is easy to adjust, and the high-speed engraving and cutting can be performed immediately according to the pattern output by the computer. The processing speed is fast, and the processing cycle is shorter than other methods.
- Safe and reliable: Laser precision machining is a non-contact machining, which will not cause mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress to the material; compared with EDM and plasma arc machining, its heat-affected zone and deformation are very small, so it can process very small parts .
- Low cost: Not limited by the number of processing, for small batch processing services, laser processing is cheaper. For the processing of large-scale products, the mold manufacturing cost of large-scale products is very high, and laser processing does not require any mold manufacturing, and laser processing completely avoids the slump formed when the material is punched and sheared, which can greatly reduce the production cost of enterprises and improve products grade.
- Small cutting seam: The cutting seam of laser cutting is generally 0.1-0.2mm.
- Smooth cutting surface: There is no burr on the cutting surface of laser cutting.
- Small thermal deformation: The laser processing of laser processing has thin slits, high speed and concentrated energy, so the heat transmitted to the material to be cut is small, and the deformation of the material is also very small.
- Material saving: laser processing adopts computer programming, which can cut different shapes of products, maximize the utilization rate of materials, and greatly reduce the material cost of enterprises.
- It is very suitable for the development of new products: once the product drawings are formed, laser processing can be carried out immediately, and you can get the physical objects of new products in the shortest time.
In general, there is broad development and space for precision laser cutting machines in the future.
