Sheet metal cutting requires a power density of 10 6 watts in 2 source.
Laser cut stainless steel thickness.
The 12kw laser cutting machine can cut aluminum alloy sheets up to 40mm and stainless steel sheets up to 50mm.
This thickness can already cover most metal sheet processing needs.
Different fiber optics material quality gases optical lenses cutting patterns etc will affect the cutting speed and need to be adjusted according to site conditions.
Once you ve decided on a metal you can then determine a thickness.
Some of the questions above will assist you in selecting both.
Learn how to choose the right metal and thickness for your laser cutting project.
There is no simple answer on the thickness a laser system can cut.
If a majority of the metal being cut is at the top range of this chart the 200w laser upgrade would be strongly advised.
For melt and blown cutting on metal except stronger air pressure requirements as the cutting air compound may require to be replaced with oxygen or other metal cutting assistance gas for better cutting quality.
If you re needing to bend your parts choosing a thinner thickness is obviously going to make.
With the successive introduction of 15kw fiber laser cutting machines the thickness limit of material cutting will continue to be broken.
The stainless steel plates with a thickness of 1mm are 160a 11ms and 5hz respectively.
Mike klos laser mechanisms converting to millimeters that s 1550 watts mm 2.
The 200w laser is specified to cut the same thicknesses as the 150w laser.
Thickness mm ipg 1000w ipg 1500w ipg 2000w ipg 3000w ipg 4000w ipg 6000w ipg 8000w ipg 10000w ipg 12000w ipg 15000w.
However the 200w laser will cut at a higher feed rate.
1in 2 645mm 2 a 100 watt laser can achieve a power density of 1550 watts mm 2 in a spot size that is 0 6452mm 2 a spot size that is 0 6452mm 2 has a diameter of of 28mm or 280 micron using area pi d 2 2 280 micron.
