2000-? In 2004, a set of high-power laser equipment came out, which was used in cutting, welding, drilling and other fields.
Main advantages: high power, generally between 2000 and 4000 W, cutting full-size stainless steel, carbon steel and other conventional materials within 25 mm, 4? Aluminum plate within mm and acrylic plate within 60MM, wood plate and PVC plate, cutting speed is very fast. In addition, because CO2 laser outputs continuous laser, it is the smoothest and most effective one among the three laser cutting machines.
Main market positioning: 6-25mm plate cutting, mainly aimed at large and medium-sized enterprises and some laser cutting enterprises with pure external processing. However, due to the insurmountable factors such as high laser maintenance loss and high power consumption of the main engine, the market has been greatly impacted by the fiber laser cutting machine in recent years, and the market is in an obvious shrinking state.
YAG solid-state laser cutting machine (2009-20 12)
Once popular in the metalworking market, it was mainly used for punching, spot welding and sheet cutting.
YAG solid-state laser cutting machine has the characteristics of low price and good stability, but its energy efficiency is generally low.
Main market positioning: Cutting below 8mm is mainly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises and most users in sheet metal manufacturing, household appliances manufacturing, kitchenware manufacturing, decoration, advertising and other industries, and gradually replaces traditional processing equipment such as wire cutting, CNC punching machine, water cutting and low-power plasma.
Disc laser cutting machine (20 15 -20 16)
Laser cutting of optical discs floods into the color processing market.
Main advantages: Disc laser is a combination of the advantages of solid-state laser and semiconductor laser. The disc design ensures excellent beam quality. Using semiconductor laser as pumping source unit ensures high photoelectric efficiency. The power of disc laser is as high as 16000 watts, and its great feature is that it can cut thick materials with high reflectivity such as brass and aluminum plate.
Main market positioning: cutting below 25mm, especially high-quality cutting of medium and heavy plates, mainly aimed at enterprises processing foreign or more non-ferrous metals. The disadvantage is that the later maintenance cost is high, the service and technology have not been opened and popularized, and the cost is higher than that of optical fiber. With the emergence of 4000W and above fiber laser, fiber laser cutting machine will eventually replace most of the market.
Optical fiber metal laser cutting machine (20 12 till now)
High-power impacts the low-power processing market, and finally affects major factories.
Main advantages: high photoelectric conversion rate, low power consumption, cutting 20-30 mm
Stainless steel plate and carbon steel plate are the fastest cutting speed of these three machines.
Laser cutting machine, with fine slit and good spot quality, can be used for fine, stable and efficient.
Stop. 20 12- Up to now, the main market positioning: manufacturing, sheet metal industry, agricultural machinery, municipal gardens, etc. Mainly aimed at the manufacturers who require extremely high processing accuracy and efficiency, after 20 15, with the emergence of lasers of 4000W and above, fiber laser cutting machines have replaced most markets of CO2 high-power laser cutting machines, YAG laser cutting machines and disc laser cutting machines. The fiber laser cutting machine is developing in the direction of more refinement, industrialization and deep customization.
