What are the comparisons of cutting machine methods?
With the development of modern mechanical processing industry, the requirements for cutting quality and precision are constantly increasing, and the requirements for improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and having a highly intelligent automatic cutting function are also increasing. The development of CNC cutting machine must meet the requirements of the development of modern mechanical processing industry. Cutting machine is divided into flame cutting machine, plasma cutting machine, laser cutting machine, water cutting and so on. The laser cutting machine has the fastest efficiency, the highest cutting accuracy, and the cutting thickness is generally small. The cutting speed of the plasma cutter is also very fast, and the cutting surface has a certain slope. Flame cutting machine is targeted at thicker carbon steel materials. The laser cutting machine has the fastest efficiency, the highest cutting accuracy, and the cutting thickness is generally small.
Plasma
Cutting quality: excellent inclination angle, small area affected by heat, almost no slag, good to excellent fine cutting effect;
Production capacity: It is extremely fast when cutting metal materials of various thicknesses and extremely fast perforation;
Operating cost: long service life of wearing parts, good production efficiency, excellent cutting quality, resulting in lower cost per operation than other technologies;
Maintenance methods: Many components are usually properly maintained by the in-plant maintenance team.
laser
Cutting quality: excellent inclination angle, small area affected by heat, almost no slag, good to excellent fine cutting effect under the narrowest bending conditions;
Production capacity: The cutting torch can be quickly disengaged to improve production efficiency. The cutting speed of metal materials with a thickness of less than 6mm is extremely fast. The thicker the metal, the slower the speed, the thicker the metal, and the longer the perforation time. Generally, laser cutting is used in non-metal cutting metals. Only high-precision laser cutting is used;
Operating cost: Due to the high power and gas consumption, high maintenance costs and relatively low cutting speed when cutting thick materials, the cost of a single operation is high;
Maintenance method: professional technicians are required to complete complex maintenance work!
