Aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, carbon steel, and other black and nonferrous metals. All of this can be processed on the Wattsan metal laser cutters. Depending on the type, you may cut sheets with thicknesses ranging from 4 mm to 25 mm or more.
What can be made with metal laser cutting machine
Dogtags, ID plates, signs, stands, electronics, spare parts and gears for cars, elevators, and elements for planes and ships. The list of products made on the metal laser cutter is huge.
This wide use by big manufacturers, where precision is highly precious, is related to the advantages since the metal laser cutter guarantees accuracy during the work.
Criteria of selection a metal laser cutter
The laser source is the main component of a metal laser cutter. The machine’s efficiency and thicknesses that it can process are determined by the power of the source. It also absorbs a remarkable portion of the price.
Another key factor to consider is what you are going to cut. Thickness influences the power of the source that has to be installed on your metal laser cutter. The size of the working area, on the other hand, will be a secondary consideration.
For example, to cut thin stainless steel sheets of 3–4 mm, the Wattsan 1325 E will be suitable; for metal a little bit thicker, like 12 mm, you would need the 1325 S model, which has a reinforced bed that allows the installation of a more powerful laser source. And Hard 4020 machines can process metal sheets with a thickness of 25 mm and more.
Tablechange, rotary device, and cabin can be additional mounted on your metal laser cutter if needed.
If the machine is equipped with servomotors rather than stepper motors, it will be more dependable and last longer. A good smoke removal system will be useful since it ensures the purity and safety of the product. Wattsan equipment has it.
Furthermore, machines of the S and Hard series have zonal extraction, which is more efficient since it allows the entire system’s power to be concentrated on particular and needed parts of the working surface.
Questions
Which thickness can the 6 kW laser metal cutter cut?
First of all, it would be impossible to tell the exact number since each material will be cut to a different thickness due to their features.
Second of all, required speed and power are related to the thickness of the material. We will give you a few examples of approximate numbers for some cases to demonstrate that. For instance, 4 mm of carbon steel can be cut with a speed of 8 m/min and a power of 6 kW while using N2 as the working gas; when using air, the speed will rise to 13 m/min with the same power value.
Now to the brass. With the N2 and 6 kW, you’ll be able to process 5 mm at a speed of 5.5 m/min. And if you’ll take 10 mm, then the speed should be 1 m/min. Stainless steel cut with the same working gas will be operated at a speed of 2 m/min.
Which metal is the easiest to cut with laser metal cutting machine?
It’s mild steel. That’s if we are talking about the maximum approachable thickness.
What kind of disadvantages does the metal laser cutter have?
The most significant minus is likely the limitation of the material thickness that the laser source can cut. However, if you are purchasing the machine to cut the same metal sheets on a constant basis, this statement is meaningless.
In addition, the metal laser cutter’s price might be considered a drawback. However, the machine’s efficiency and production will pay off.
