Tips To Reduce Costs When Using Laser Cutting Machines

In many cases, if you do not control the cost of laser cutting machine use, it will cost more, so this is an important reason why users hope to have some methods to control its cost. Let's take a look at it together. How to control the cost incurred in the operation of the laser cutting machine.

 
More than 80% of the cost of using laser cutting machines comes from the consumption of gas. As the main energy supply for laser cutting machines, CNC laser cutting machines and manual gas cutting equipment, familiarity with and understanding of the gas application principles of laser cutting machines will help reduce Gas usage costs.

1. The metal laser cutting machine usually operates to minimize the number of laser switches. Usually, the laser can be turned off without using the metal laser cutting machine, and when the cutting requirements can be met, the use of power should be reduced as much as possible to save power consumption.

2. The metal laser cutting machine should be used in strict accordance with the operating rules. The metal laser cutting machine is a high-tech equipment, improper use will affect the entire mechanical system, the quality of the cut workpiece is unstable, and seriously affects the quality of the equipment, which cannot be compensated.

3. The focus lens of the metal laser cutting machine works cleanly. The focus lens is a lens that is rarely in contact with the processing surface. The laser cutting machine will produce metal dross and dust during operation. These dregs will adhere to the focus lens. If it is not cleaned in time , the light transmittance will be reduced, and the heat absorption will be enhanced, which will affect the cutting accuracy. The timely cleaning operation of the focusing lens can reduce unnecessary material waste and the cost of lens replacement.

4. After the metal laser cutting machine works for a long time, there is wear and tear between the various parts, and the equipment is unstable and affects the cutting accuracy. Therefore, maintaining equipment is also a way to extend equipment life and improve cutting accuracy.

5. About 80% of the cost of laser cutting machines comes from gas consumption. As the main energy supply of laser cutting machines and CNC laser cutting machines, familiarity with and understanding of the gas application principles of laser cutting machines can help reduce gas usage costs.

In addition, to ensure the current equipment is in good condition, the operating procedures should be used as the basis to regularly check the leakage of pipelines, joints, etc., lubricate bearings, pin holes, etc., clean the cutting nozzle, cooling water pipes, etc., and complete some daily tasks. Only procedural work can ensure normal operation, and then improve and improve the effect. In terms of specific equipment, large-scale flame gas cutting such as strip-drawing CNC laser cutting machines are generally equipped with more than ten sets of flame cutting torches. Generally speaking, straight laser cutting machines (multi-head laser cutting machines) are divided into the following three types, all of which are used for steel plate cutting.

1. The simplest straight laser cutting machine can evenly divide the steel plate into strips, simple and practical, low price, and the sales volume has been very good.

2. In addition to the simple cutting function of steel plate straight strips, a flame cutting gun is added in the horizontal direction, so it can not only cut straight strips, but also cut off straight strips. The function is stronger, but in most cases, users want to save costs. , are often also manually cut transversely. This cost is more expensive than the first one.

3. CNC straight laser cutting machine, which is currently the most powerful and advanced, so the price is also the most expensive. In addition to the main functions of 1 and 2 types, it also has powerful CNC special-shaped cutting Function, can be equipped with CNC flame and CNC plasma cutting, become the most complete CNC flame plasma straight cutting machine.
