What is Laser Cutting Machine

(28/2/2024)

A laser cutting machine is a tool used for cutting various materials with high precision using a focused laser beam. It works by directing the output of a high-powered laser, typically through optics, to a specific point on the material’s surface. The intense heat generated by the laser vaporizes, melts, or burns away the material, leaving a clean and precise cut edge.

These machines are commonly used in manufacturing and fabrication industries for cutting materials such as metal, wood, plastic, glass, ceramics, and composites. Compared with traditional cutting methods, laser cutting has many advantages and convenience. Laser cutting can provide high precision, fast processing speed, less material waste, and easy cutting of complex shapes.

Laser cutting machines come in different types and configurations, including CO2 lasers, fiber lasers, and solid-state lasers. The choice of laser type depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as material type, thickness, and desired cutting speed. Additionally, laser cutting machines may feature different power levels, sizes, and automation options to suit various production needs.
