The laser engraver can cut thin plates, square tubes and round tubes made of a variety of metal materials, such as:

Stainless steel

For manufacturers who use stainless steel sheet as the main raw material, laser engraver is a very effective processing tool. In the laser cutting process, under strict control of heat input measures, the heated area is small. It helps to maintain the good corrosion resistance of these materials.

Carbon steel

With high laser power, the maximum cutting thickness of carbon steel plates can reach 25mm.

 

Alloy steel

Most alloy steel materials can be cut with a laser engraver with advanced quality. However, for high-speed tool steel and tungsten-containing hot work die steel, corrosion and slag adhesion may occur during laser cutting.

   

Aluminum and aluminum alloy

Aluminum laser cutting is a type of fusion cutting. And use auxiliary gas to discharge molten aluminum from the cutting area.

   

Copper, brass and copper alloys

The high-power laser engraver can cut materials with high reflective properties, such as copper and brass. In addition to the following materials, metal laser engraver can also process many other types of metals, such as titanium and titanium alloys, nickel alloys and galvanized sheets.

 

Factors affecting the accuracy of laser engraver.

High precision is one of the outstanding features of laser engraver. This is why many metal finishing companies choose fiber laser cutting machine. However, the accuracy of laser cut products may be inconsistent during the cutting process. So what factors will affect the cutting accuracy of fiber lasers?

Fiber laser

As an important part of the laser engraver , the overall quality of the laser beam, the shape of the laser beam and the size of the laser beam spot all affect the accuracy of the metal laser cutting machine. The smaller the size of the laser beam spot, the narrower the cutting groove and the higher the accuracy. Moreover, the laser beam generated by the laser becomes narrower, and thus the space becomes narrower. In this case, the thicker the cutting material, the lower the accuracy and the greater the amount of cut.

Cutting material

When using a fiber laser engraver to cut metal, different materials have different accuracy. For example, under similar conditions, the cutting accuracy of stainless steel is higher than that of aluminum. Even if the same type of material is used, if the composition is different, the cutting accuracy will be different. In addition, the thickness and smoothness of the surface will also affect the accuracy. Generally speaking, the smoother the surface of the material, the higher the cutting accuracy.

Bedstead

The laser metal cutting process may produce slight vibrations during processing. Therefore, the quality of the bed structure is also an important factor affecting the cutting process. The stronger and more precise the bed frame, the more precise the cutting process.

In short, even if the laser engraver is expensive, its powerful functions and wide range of applications make it worthwhile. With the help of corresponding design software and different laser power, the laser engraver can cut various patterns on metals of different thicknesses. Moreover, as long as the metal laser cutting machine is used and maintained correctly, there is no need for maintenance.

Therefore, if your business involves a lot of metal cutting work on different types of metals, then the laser engraver is definitely your ideal choice and good support.
